TheCore Quick Start Guide Those of you with mechanical keyboards should take more care when removing keys because of the way mechanical keyboards are designed. Not pulling the key straight off can damage the switch. Bent paperclips work well. From the OP | ||

I select all my queens, hold shift and hold x, (I use the grid layout, would love to try the core but play on a laptop and don't have place for an external keyboard on my desk) and click the hatcheries on the minimap. The cross changes to green as soon as a queen has energy. If you're very quick with your injects, you'll notice that there are a few seconds time between the message 'additional larvae spawned', and the moment that a queen has 25 energy, so there is the risk of queens going on a hiking trip, to prevent this, you inject, then issue a 'stop' command. Better a missed inject than 3 queens at one hatchery for the next inject. I guess you can do this with The Core too, I guess there's no real reason to use the camera's instead of the minimap. I really like the idea of layered control groups, that is a very smart idea. | ||

Minimap injects and Layered Camera Injects are the two best inject methods in my opinion. I think that Layered injects are easier and faster to learn, but maybe not necessarily faster than minimap inject. Minimap inject requires a shit ton of mouse accuracy to rival the speed of the Layered Inject, so if you have it, and you like that style, more power to you, but if you don't then the Layered Inject is the way to go IMO. Concerning the Layered CG, it will be smooth with the minimap inject the way you described it as well and will be more efficient that way (as we save space by layering that control group without slowing the inject in any way.)

I believe the poll is just to get a league distribution for the people who are using TheCore, not to see what percentage of people use TheCore. Also, how does it all seem pointless? Hotkey optimization is not pointless in terms of SC2, just look at Artosis and his opinion on customizing hotkeys as another example. TheCore tries to take the idea of getting the most out of your hotkey configuration to its limit. For me personally, my play has benefited from switching to TheCore. It might not be for you, but I don't see how you can possibly say that "it all seems pointless" for everyone. | ||

I can't speak to the reasoning but I would say that you should include which layout you are talking about when you ask questions like this. I would guess PRM, but it'd be easier if you specified. | ||

In order to ensure good finger combinations, the hallucination and gaurdian shield are on index finger abilities because the next thing you are likely to press after one of these abilities is another ability, making for better combinations. EDIT: So i said combinations a bit to much... oh well  | ||

First of all thanks for this, I'm a mid eu master using grid right now and thinking of changing to your layout. Do you have any progamer comments / thoughts on this? thanks | ||

iEchoic uses a heavily modified version of TheCore because he wasn't ready for such a drastic change. (although I really think he should complete the transition by updating to the latest version). He likes TheCore concepts and logic a lot. I think they both read the thread, so if you two have any amendments or additions to what I said, feel free :D | ||
