Pretty damn nice guide.

A few points

The shoulder pivot in FPS games is primarily because due to some quirk of biology, the shoulder responds faster than the wrist or elbow to stimulus(tiny but measurably so) which is why the majority of top FPS gamers use a shoulder pivot. It'll get the mouse moving towards a point faster than using the wrist and as I'm sure you're familiar with, with enough practice it can get just as precise for a single motion compared to the other two motions. I have no idea however, whether that translates into being just as good as the pivot on the wrist bone with practice.

Also on the topic of zerg hotkeys
I personally have:
1: Hatcheries 2: Queens 3: Ground Army 4: Mutalisks/Infestors(Rarely will I have both at once) 5: Any unit that I'll want to get to quickly (generally my creep queen which changes to an overseer after the queen dies eventually)

however, in another topic discussing hotkeys there were just as many people putting hatches and queens on 4,5 and 6 and sticking army on 1/2/3 which I'd say is up to preference primarily. The only conclusion I can draw is in general, queens and hatcheries are bound side by side.

As for F-keys I personally have F1 as idle worker and F2 as any "Hidden Expo" (Any hatchery which tends to create rally point nightmares if a push comes).

He said he would put one up soon, HOWEVER this transfers very neatly into Microsoft Word for those wanting a more printer friendly copy!
Try another route paperboy.

This is amazing. I definitely agree with creating the PDF, I think this guide could help a lot of people, myself included.

If so, why the hell are you in TL.net??

On topic now, this is awesome!! very useful especially the hotkey setup part!!
Thanks!! :D
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

When you said this was going to be released to the public a few days ago, I didn't expect it to be released THIS SOON.

I like the part that you suggest to benchmark our YABOT testing against pro players using the same build we wanna practice and focus on to improve macro.

As a protoss player, I wanted to know, what are good pro games to download for these builds:
1) PvP - kcdc 2 gate robo
2) PvT - Genius 2 gate robo
3) PvZ - inControl 3gate sentry expand

I know its kinda obvious who to look up (i.e. kcdc, genius, inControl) but im assuming they (as pro players) dont use those builds every game they play. I dont wanna sit there downloading 100 of their games and searching each one to find a good execution of the build im interested in.

Any suggestions on good replays of these at pro level??
