When you say macro cycle, do you refer to queueing up all the SCVs, marines, tanks, medivacs, everything? What hotkeys can you run through in under a second?

A macro cycle isn't something you do for a second every so often, it is a constant thing. Your production isn't going to line up neatly, you need to be constantly cycling through production the whole time.

in macro cycle i meant queueing all my production, from SCVs/Mules, to rax, to factory, to starport. In that sequence.

Lots of good information, but the "TvZ Reactor Hellion Expand Banshee Mech Opening" build order doesn't quite work. The build itself is in an odd format, I'm assuming the list is in chronological order. Anyways, (in my attempts) if you build the CC, 2nd gas, 3rd depot, starport, before starting hellions (as directed in the build order) it is hard to have enough money for the initial set of hellions and near impossible to get the 2nd set as soon as the first one finishes. Even in your example replays you didn't follow the build exactly. Could someone explain if I'm doing it wrong or what? And maybe post a replay of executing it perfectly (against AI will be fine).
Thanks to those that support me. For those that don't like me, please PM me. I always wish to kiss ass.

I`m curious if you recommend watching games you have won or if you think it is a waste of time, Thanks.

I know you're asking him, but I think it depends on whether or not you felt the game was hard for you to win or not. If it was a clean cut simple win you probably don't want to watch it if you're looking for learning. However, if you're going on a loss streak I would recommend watching yourself win a couple times to cheer yourself up! You will probably find yourself playing much better. If it was not a decisive win you should watch it to find out what opportunities you had to make it an easier win.

This guide is sick. I am platinum level and never used camera keys...thanks to this guide I started using them, also I hotkey upgrades etc. The results are stunning, my apm was always about 90 and now it is 120-130 o.o I think that tapping all those keys gives you the habit of doing so. I suppose I'm in the middle of improving, because even if my mechanics are becoming better, I lose more than I used to with my old habits. Probably because I put a lot of attention on these new things...once they'll become rooted in my mind I'll be a better player

I disagree about turning the sound off. Sound on is how I work on perfecting my macro cycle, with no queuing (ideally, exception: if im about to engage). Those audio alerts are like pavlovs bell. I train myself so that everytime I hear the alert my response is to start whatever unit just completed. Also, mules collapsing, that sort of thing. Sometimes my eyes can be distracted/doing something else, but my ears are always there.

Ive found that for me, and pro terrans ive watched, they have custom keys designed to let them play without moving their keyboard hand. Wrist stays in place, only movement in fingers. No keys used past g/h.

Lot of other good stuff in there, these were just two things that jumped out at me as different from my experience.

This is a game between him and I where he uses this opening. (csl teammates)
I was experimenting in this game and my opening sort of blind countered his, so notice it's effectiveness while being blind countered. Pretty good.

The guide is too old for copying a build order i think.

Great guide! Now i know how to play with mech. Always used mech as an offensive strategy in the past which never worked too well but your guide helped clear a lot of doubts!

This seems amazing! Especially macro tips seem good, as quite often it is just "l2p" or "l2macro" with no further elaboration on that.

Whoa! Just noticed you uploaded a new vid, the one on TvT Mech indepth.

Awesome! Thanks so much!

Seriously how come such a good guide + good videos gets so little attention/views...? ;(

Let's get more exposure to this stuff, it wouldn't make sense to put so much time + effort (1.5 hour vids man!) if barely anyone (relative to other vids like Filter) watches them.
