last i heard, his right and left mouse click are switched, so he moves units/focus fire using left click iirc.


his clicks are definitely normal seeing the video. i'm not sure how you can even reverse them in bw without a 3rd party software...which i highly doubt is used.

Windows has built in settings, since many people are left handed. Set the mouse to left handed and you get reversed left/right click.

Ok so this is what I think is happening.

Most players end up using 3 fingers to do the following(my assumption): a. tap between production b. select army c. use army abilities d. build units from tapped structers. Tapping is usually with 2 fingers and a 3rd finger is usually used for army control. This results in steps: Step 1: tap, Step 2: select army, Step: Attack/harass/defend with army. Step 3: tap, Step 4: build units, Step 5: select army, Step 6: use army special ability. Flash is able to do something special which cuts some corners. Step 1: tap, Step 2: Build SCV(S) + Marine(A) while tapping, Step 3: Check army + attack + tap CC + build SCV and Marine + go back to attacking with "A" + select CC/Orbital + build SCV + select army + attack - and so on because all the actions result in him not moving his ring finger from A only to hit S one key over.

go to 1:40 minute part of the video and watch it.

he's clearly focus firing using his left mouse, which leads me to believe that his mouse is reversed. and yes, you can change mouse settings in windows.

Anyone know where I can get one of the mouse bungees flash is using there? I've seen a lot of other pros from korea using them, they seem more awesome than the flimsy razer one because of the weight in the middle.

What's so special with it? Looks like anyone sitting with a keyboard, lol all this attention because he is Flash. It's like when an artist makes a painting and it's just a black line on a black board and people analyze the shit out if it because it was made by a famous artist.

Focus fire is done with left click after pressing"a". U dont want to missclick ground and move ur army into them instead. I forgot its an option in cpanel

You know, you would be completely right, if not for one thing. He is Flash! :D

Seriously though, if you have nothing to contribute and find this uninteresting, find another thread. I find this one fascinating.

Probably gonna incorporate flash's hand position and some of his hotkeys to mine, seems way too useful to keep it my way atm.

[a little offtopic]I haven't visited reddit for at least a month and I don't plan on visiting it anyways. I meant of the nick in CS and when reddit didn't even exist yet. When I switched to sc2 and found out there was a progamer named ret, I changed my nick instantly, so no, no and no. Btw, the name means red (my favourite colour) plus my first name's first letter.

Plus, I registered before you and no, it is not someone else's acc. You should really put a little more thought into things like this.[/a little offtopic]

I apologize, there's a reddit troll that stalks me everywhere. It seemed suspicious because this thread is 3 days old and there has not been any negative comments on it in 3 days with 68 posts and over 10,000 views. Your post and the one above you was made in 30 minutes time from when I posted my zoomed in video on reddit where it was commented that this duscussion was on reddit. That and you only had 6 posts of post history when you posted. If you aren't from reddit then my bad.

I am using left side of my palm to click ctrl, but i think it's more for people with smaller hands.

I don't think it matters much one way or the other. My left hand setup is identical to Flash's (has been for 10 years), with ring finger constantly resting on "a". I think people who use the 1-control group for their main army gravitate towards this solution. You will a-move your main army a lot during the course of a game, and lifting your ring finger to the 1-key followed by jumping down to the "a" seems rather inefficient for a movement that will be repeated so often.

People's hands are different. I saw someone wonder why people use the tip of their pinky fingers for ctrl and shift. The answer for me personally is that I find it physically impossible to use the root of my pinky finger or the palm for ctrl while at the same time maintaining my normal range, and while at the same time maintaining my preferred setup of having my ring finger resting on "a" at all times (except when pressing Q and tab). Some of it is probably due to using the pinky in the same manner while playing the guitar. I can reach from ctrl to the 9-key if I really push it, but during games I only hotkey up to 8.
