Thanks for reminding me about shift and ctrl, however. I did forget to mention those ones.

With this in mind, every time you can use a hotkey instead of your mouse, use the hotkey! It's as simple as that! Why you disregarding yourself bro | ||

I personally have my keyboard perfectly perdendicular to my body, and I hit 1a2a3a with my front three fingers Great post. I have changed attack to be the f key. So for me it is 1f2f3f4f which is very easy to do. It did require some other keys to be changed, but that was not big deal. For protosses it affects force fields. I don't play that much, but I made the change after playing a couple of 100 games in SC2 and BW and I didn't find it very hard to change the habit. Does anyone have thoughts around this? | ||

Great Post! Reading through it and in particular the chapter 4 "How to choose a built" I was wondering though how to do this practically. For instance, I myself, am a Gold League player, with about 50 games played in 1on1 mode. I enjoy the game for fun and play a lot with friends. So I played like 400 games 2on2, 3on3, 4on4, mostly random. However I decided to improve my 1on1 play therefore I like to settle on a race (T or P, managed to cross Z off my list). I decided to start with T and would like to analyse MarineKingPrimes replays. Now, how do I know in which replay he executed a certain built I am looking to mimick perfectly and with no shananigans? You suggested Toss builts in your OP now I wonder are there any references for the other 2 races, that provide well documented builts, that are frequently used by progamers AND to which are replays available that include a neat execution of those builts? P.S.: I do not intend to dump the work on other people just to make it easy. I rather look for people, who might have done this previously and are willing to share their results. Especially the common builts, that are frequently used by progamers should be of interest by more then a few who want to improve. Cheers, Wodus | ||

For example, if you're going to be thinking "I suck" all the time, you're not going to enjoy yourself at all. There's a general attitude coming from the TL community that you need to do alot more than just play a shitload of games to get good. That's incorrect, unless you're trying to get high masters (everyone below that, including me, sucks). Otherwise, just have fun with the game, play as games as you have time to / can be arsed to, and you'll improve. User was warned for this post team liquid is a community of players that have an exceptional love and interest for this game, and therefore most of us are motivated to become better at it. this guide helps with just that. the "you suck" part of this thead isnt meant to demotivate you, but to make you realize and accept that there is so much more to learn. if you cant understand that this thread isnt the place for you or your posts. on topic: im interested to learn more about navigating using hotkeys because i find it hard without scrolling too much | ||

I'm Diamond league, trying to break into the Masters league, and I think this guide will be a huge help. I noted a lot of different points that I'll start working on tonight. Thanks again for such a high quality post! | ||

DiscDash would be ok if it wasn't so buggy. I combined the idea of invisble cursor and DiscDash, and came up with a prototype of a mouse accuracy practicing game: http://zen.zc.fi/~yuizy/acc/test.swf There is no scoring, but at the end of the game you get to see the average miss in pixels and time in hundredth of a second in each movement. [ Format: pixels (time) ] By practicing different kind of movements with an invisible cursor, and then focusing on the ones that are most inaccurate, one could systematically develop a better mouse accuracy. I don't know if this actually works, as my own results are getting slightly better but they do vary a lot and I don't know if it's the general mouse accuracy that's improving or just specific to the flash game. Please test it and give feedback if you think this kind of game would actually be good for systematical training. | ||
