Protoss obviously is the most demanding in terms of static defense, p players should rarely use it. Even someone like stephano, who's hardly known for being mechanically gifted (with 4 fucking hotkeys total) didn't select his entire army with that button. I don't watch a lot of streams though to be fair, so maybe most z pros use it. Doubt it though | ||

I play Terran myself and i can't see how the ''select all unit'' can be useful. By using that all your drops are gonna go full retard, any kind of multiple front attack you have prepared will not work, also it messes up unit priority (selecting ghost before bioball first ). Lastly you always need a few marines at home to defend against drops or whatever. | ||

Saturated on 3 based, built an unbreakable army and take one base at a time, then push out, regardless of how terran response. I prefer hero Hero or MC's play much better. | ||

Every single player that has played longer time has not used "select all army units" most of their career. well that's wrong reasoning, professional players are effectively obligated to use new features if they're somehow useful. I don't use it (because pride!!), but it's quite useful for gathering reinforcements for example, or selecting all the swarmhosts on the map etc. etc. | ||

It's not a matter of nitpicking lol It's pointing out mistakes when ppl say "omigawd polt played puurfect nothin else he cud do toss OPOPPOP", which is silly. And I'll often move on from arguments, yes. Unlike most ppl in the internet, I don't keep arguing against people who I know will never listen because they're so locked in their blinded ways tbh. Anyway who isn't kidding themselves knwos that, while TvP is extremely tough, Rain was the better player with lesser mistakes that match and Polt made critical mistakes which eventually led to his loss. | ||
