EPTLet's say you use it online where no one can detect it, but are you allowed to use them at offline events? Like the recent Stars War for example.

For the record, I think keyboard macros are fine. The less redundant shit people need to spend their time on, the more battle micro we can see. I'm not watching pros play so can I observe their uber queen injecting skills. I don't mean to be rude or mean but I feel like this community has some ass backwards definitions of competitive standards/skills, probably born from the SC1 UI. | ||

The thing that makes the pros micro so amazing is that they can do it while multitasking like non other and not missing a beat. When you take the macro part out of the game it just makes it so much more mundane and normal if you can do something the pro can do easily. | ||

TL is mostly centered about progaming. Are you surprised that I am applying progaming standards? Macros are considered an unfair competitive advantage. You are basically using a 3rd party program (the keyboard driver) during a match to improve your play. I personally don't care what you use in silver leagues, but I don't want to go against players who are using macros in platinum. Btw, there will be plenty of SC2 lans with tournaments, trust me. If you want to play in a tournament you will be able to. And even if it's online - if macros are forbidden I wouldn't use them. I've got my pride, I won't cheat to win (like many former BW players). | ||

If you don't have queens for every hatchery, or your queen is out of energy it can actually be slower than minimap or some other method of doing it (at least it was for me). You have to be careful not to try and vomit on a hatchery with no queen or all of your queens will start going haywire trying to walk to different hatcheries to vomit. | ||
