So about his #252 daily, he said that scrolling with the mouse was one of the worst things you could do so would it make sense to practice with mouse scroll turned off and relying on the minimap to "scroll" around the map?

Is it me, or it the constant queen production idea for Funday Monday....really fucking good?

I just won 3 games pretty easily. Playing against Protoss, I'm amazed at how many fears it removes at a fairly low cost. A Void Ray rush was comically ineffective, and even a bunch of phoenixes couldn't get much done.

What surprised me was that, though their negligible off-creep speed limits their offensive abilities, queens are amazingly cost-effective as combat units. While not as good for DPS as a Hydra, they're cheaper, have way more HP, can transfuse, and cost 0 Larva. A player who goes mass queen shuts down a lot of harassment, but can also make more drones more safely, because he has pretty decent defensive units not costing larva. With constant queen production and a well-place spine crawler, you can drone up pretty fast in relative safety.

Not to mention getting your creep spread hyper-charged.

Granted, theorycraft theorycraft theorycraft, I'm just in Platinum. But I'm really excited by these results. I may go mass queen as standard ZvP!

Can someone possibly remind me of how day9 got manfred back? I thought he was lost a while back and shipped to the wrong address. Maybe I'm confused but I don't think so and I haven't been able to keep up on the dailies

What about when you have 3 bases? How about 4? I have seen up to 6 bases in some Pro games. It's inefficient to hotkey them all.

What most people do instead is hotkey all CC's, Nexi and Hatcheries to same hotkey. At least, that's what I do as protoss. The benefit of this "F1/F2/F3/F4 to move to the location" is that you can easily set F2 and F3 for example as your current 2 bases that are active (or more if you have more bases). Because if all Nexi are in same hotkey, you can't use that hotkey to jump to the location of that nexus. Instead, you use the F1-F4 keys.

Remember, the location you save to F1-F4 doesn't have to be your base. It might just as well be your unit rally location, or some other place where you may want to jump on regular basis or fast.

Hasn't manfred been around for a while? Or has Day[9] moved to a new house that looks just like his old house?

I thought I remembered something about day 9 losing manfred in Sweden or some other country and then manfred getting mailed to some random address that wasn't his. Am I dreaming this all up? D:
