Get into the habit of spreading all your active creep tumors right after you inject.

Tie injections and creep spread together. Helps me a lot.

I use a camera hotkey tied to my back mouse button. I normally do this for the creep going towards my opponent.

I'm surprised so many zerg just do tumor after inject :/. Imo it's a bad habit because you will be ingrained into that so even when you have the apm to be spreading creep on CD every 30 second instead of every 40 second with inject you will be so used to it already. It's like reccomending to plat or lower terran they should just supply drop on CD instead of mule so they won't get supply blocked as much, but not as extreme. To each their own though.( I know zerg is hard btw, so creep spread will never be ideal for a variety of reasons, just saying imo it's a bad habit). When I play vs zerg it's an obvious difference the one's that spread creep on cd and the ones who don't. it's much easier to clear creep as there are much less tumors over all and you don't have to commit as many units to go onto creep to clear them.

Horrible advice, queen energy regen allows for an inject every 44.444444 game seconds, while the creep tumor cooldown is 15 seconds.

I think the best way is 1-3 camera hotkeys on active tumors, if you are spreading in more ways just click minimap. Cooldown timer in your head is the most important thing by far.

This will also pretty much double your creep spread speed (no exageration) and allow you to hop up/down cliffs or across gaps in terrain where creep wouldnt reach all the way around etc. Its an awesome trick.

I hardly feel like that's "horrible" advice. Keeping the creep cooldown in your head, while still trying to do injects, and still trying to do everything else can be a little overwhelming. It's easier to just do both of them at the same time.

Yes, you do lose out on 10 seconds of creep spread, but it's better than completely forgetting about all of it all of the time
