Lately I have gotten back into Starcraft 2 and while I am still learning hot-keys, lately my biggest concern is how to assign my control groups. I was hoping someone here could either Link me a guide or if you guys have some personal preferences i'd love to hear them! Thanks in advance, ~ Looped | ||

My control groups are: 1 - Whole Army 2 - Special Units (Raven/Tanks/Ghosts) 3 - All CCs/PFs/OCs 4 - All Barracks 5 - All Factories 6 - All Starports  //edit: Why do you put anything even on 7-0 ? I want to reach everything with my left hand which is on WASD most of the time. Even 5 and 6 are sometimes hard to reach fast. | ||

The advantage of course is being able to micro multiple groups, rather than having one giant blob. This lets you do things like retreat your hellions without stopping all bio from shooting, or even do a multi-pronged attack or a flank. One control group is certainly easier but certainly worse, in my opinion. Of course, you could always select these fast-moving units in the middle of a battle while enemy units are all over and around them, and constantly update f-keys to save cameras in enemy bases as you drop. That sounds like a winning strategy :/ Personally I use 1-4 for my army, 5 for all production facilities, 6 for cc's. | ||

Also, keep in mind you can use TAB to cycle through your production buildings so if you have 3 rax,3 facs, 3 starports on 4. You would hit 4 and have the barracks production tab, hit tab and your at the factory production tab, hit tab again your at the starport production tab. I personally like having all CC on 5, and all production on 4 since I can hit 5 make sure I have scvs building and spend all my CC energy, hit 4 and I can see all my production buildings are making stuff by the white dots. My 1-3 vary depending on the matchup but generally its infantry, mech, air for 1-3. I wish I had a spot for ghosts/ravens I use 6 for them currently but imo 6 is too far away for a fast emp/fast PDD which can determine games. | ||

Nevertheless its better coz you can train scv on all CC or use up all energy for scan or mules | ||
