I also just click on the mini map, since it is about as easy/fast for me to do that than it is to use a control group for just creep tumors. | ||

figure out optimal hotkeys for hatch/queen/army and get all ur timings down for upgrades and overlords (spreading too) so u dont have to waste apm inefficiently constantly checking etc | ||

It takes time first for the creep tumor to be laid and turn invisible, and then more time to actually be able to be spawned into a 2nd. 30 seconds is accurate. | ||

Just tested in game, not accurate. It takes 40 seconds for spawn larvae to spawn creep tumor is 15 seconds build +15 second cd so its 30 seconds. So a 10 second difference which is actually pretty significant. after 120 seconds you should have 4 tumors if you do it on every inject you'd only have 3, as the game goes on especially vs T this will add up, as it makes it easier for them to clear your creep spread. Obviously most people's tumor / injects won't be optimal anyways, just saying that it's not ideal and not insignificant difference. | ||

Personally, I just remember to click on the outer edges of my creep on my minimap almost as soon as when they come up; it's just pure memory. Creep has always personally been my best mechanic.. It just comes down to remembering to check your tumors. This. If anyone notices asymmetric or darkly colored tumors, contact a medical professional. Don't let yourself be a victim of one of the most predictable cancers. Seriously... Also, if you can tie creep spreading to your inject timings that is best imo | ||

Also, if you're having trouble remembering, just constantly check the mini-map, when you see that the creep is extended decently far beyond the tumors, make sure to spread them. | ||
