EPTMy cycle is:
inject, creep spread, control army (and sometimes I would produce) and repeat.
The production part somehow always is missing lol

Personally, I try to spam, but I always try to do useful spamming. For example, I don't set 3 drones to different hotkeys and spam between the hotkeys, instead, I set camera hotkeys to main, nat and maybe even third, hotkey my overlord... then I spam between those. Not just spam as in pressing buttons, but conciously jumping between them, going "time to check my nat... oh, where's my overlord. Damn, need to look at main". Unlike pure spamming which only makes your fingers warm, this kind of spamming translates into real usage later in the game when you need to be jumping around a lot. | ||

My favorite keyboard spam has to be 12344123441234412344 (1=ring finger, 2=middle finger, 3 and 4 = pointer finger). This helps me practice moving my pointer finger (as it does most of the hotkey pressing 4-6) and helps practice double tapping. Its also a cool waterfall motion that is enjoyable while playing or even not playing. Theres 2 mouse spams I often do. First is setting rally point to each mineral in a row (I rally eggs so it often doesnt effect where drones go). Trying to do it as fast as possible without missing a patch. Another nice mouse spam is drag box all workers, then left click on each geyser and repeat. This can teach you to dragbox fast and then click accurately. | ||

But really custom maps would be a better use of time. Remember the map in BW were you practiced micro against scourge with mutas? Why cant we have more of that in SC2? There's a TON of that in SC2, ever searched custom games? There's pretty much minigames for every single micro problem you can imagine. | ||

Also "multitasking observers" by turbn is really good too. You macro up, keep a scout probe alive, defend timing attacks, dropship micro, and then attack near the end. All with a time limit, resource max limit, macro energy limit, and probe lives limit. Really fun map ^^ perfect for improving mechanics | ||

I wish you had posted this guide a year ago when I was struggling to get out of Gold/Plat. Many lower level players will benefit immensely from this guide. Well done, my friend. | ||
