This has a major disadvantage in the sense that if you get dropped and lose 1 queen, your queens will start walking across the map. Really annoying. But I made a video on this for anyone that wants it explained better.

Only downside is if you lose 1 or more of your queens this method becomes completely F'd.

It's not rocket science to do it a little bit more slowly and just hit (back)space twice, at the hatchery that's missing a queen.
It doesn't become F'd, it only becomes F'd if you keep doing it blindfolded.

Regarding the queens trotting across the map issue, if you wait half a second and then press S, any queens who are not next to their hatch and have already injected will stop in their tracks. This works for both missing queens and for not enough energy injects.

Couldn't find a truly relevant thread to add this too. I discussed it in another thread when people were upset about the wire-frame casting be taken out. Yet without a video I don't think people understood how fast\good this was. So I made a video to demonstrate.

I think this is faster than Mini-Map casting and far more accurate. With practice it is super fast.

Check out the video demonstration here.

Basic Guide \ Idea

1. Put all queens on 1 hotkey.
2. Select queens.
3. Press Spawn Larvae hotkey.
4. Press Backspace once to center on a hatch.
5. Hold Right Side Shift. (With left hand thumb, do not release at all)
6. Click Left Mouse Button + Backspace (Hit backspace with left hand index\middle finger) <- Repeat this series of actions rapidly. Hitting LMB and Backspace over and over in succession.
7. All hatches are injected.

I numbered the hatcheries 1 through 6 in the video with supply depots, this helps show how fast you hop around and inject larvae.

Hopefully this is a technique other are using, or can find useful.

I edited spawn larvae to hotkey "F"
I edited backspace to "tab"

I created a control group in the character "E" ( instead of a number ). So... all my queens I put in the control group "E".

The sequence:

E + F + Hold LEFT shift key + ( Tab + left mouse click in the center of the screen )

you got it ?
