You want to be able to stutterstep and stim without too much of a hassle. If you stutterstep with MMMV on a single hotkey, your vikings won't fire a single shot. Any tips on how to learn multitasking, controlling and engaging with 3 groups (with 1 spellcastergroup) better. Im somewhat older then most players and i find it hard to master, any tips how i learn to do that better? Just the 1.MMM 2.Ghost 3.Air. Grandpa over and out  | ||

The problem is this puts you in a very defensive mindset, as it always all-ins, and it is better to defend the wave, and counter attack. But in a real game, I get way too far ahead before I attack. The last game I only pushed forward and won when I was was 160 to 80 supply wise ahead. And when I try 4v4's it seems like I am being too defensive and turtly even though, when I see the replays I had the largest army by a considerable distance. The multi tasking trainer and practice against AI seem to have given me a bit of a mechanical edge at the lower levels, but I cant quite get the pushing forward and attacking mentality. Is there someway to practice that? Or some tips as to how to gain map control and attack? Basically, is this something you should explicitly work on. Or do all players start a bit turtly and then when they are confident with their basic mechanics become more aggressive over time? I have also been plagued by this mentality. Something about defending and THEN countering is more reassuring, like you now have a good reason to attack, since it's proven he has a smaller army (assuming you held). Attacks in general are more subtle. You have to learn a timing and learn where to probe your opponent. Then it's down to micro and more complex stuff. | ||

Grandpa over and out "Dargleins multitasking trainer" is very good for this(it's on the EU server, don't know about the others). It's really just about practice a lot and after a while it'll feel normal. | ||

If u start building your double eng. bays before 5 minutes, ur done at 15 min. But, the gascount is so high if u go for duible eng. bays at 5 minutes, ull drop heavily in armysupply because of mist income. Maybe early 3cc build is a must to just get those minerals and turtle like a boss. | ||

You can easily have 2-0 and a scary number of marines at 11 mins. | ||

cc rax cc bunker 2rax bunker etcetc. Push at +2/+1/stim/combat/medivac/concussive (2 eng. bays eventually) is what your aiming for, so time ur 2nd e.bay and gas accordingly. 2 bunkers i would allways do as u have refund eventually. | ||
