+ Any other pro players that you want me to add?
+ Does anybody know what reduced mouse lag does?
+ From most streams that ive watched, why do pros not use "Display build grid" ?
+ If anyone knows any custom Hotkeys that pros have changed comment below.
+ Has anyone else found that there is less lag in team games compared to 1v1?
+ Blizz should add the ability in replays to hide half of the production queue ( So that if you are watching someone from player camera as well as the production tab, but you can see what the oppenent is building as well.)

yeah but with windowed (fullscreen) i often time experience the bug (i have 2 monitors) that my mouse scrolls out of starcraft2 to my 2nd monitor.

also tlo uses everything low with high shaders, so invisible units can be seen better. (well at least a few months ago he used that. don't know if he changed his settings)

If pros had it their way they would use 256 colors, as BW intended.

KawaiiRice uses display build grid. I suppose a lot of pros might not use it because they know building placement so well that it becomes unnecessary. Especially since a lot of them came from Broodwar where there was no grid, you just had to memorize the wall-ins and such on every map.

Windowed(Fullscreen) keeps the SC2 window in the background even when you tab out. This makes tabbing faster, and also lets you keep an eye on the game while doing something else (for example, I often spend the first couple of minutes in game chatting in another window since there's not much to do).

I dont understand why someone would add this to the game since it allows people to "hack" in tornaments as there are streams that you can easily alt tab too even though if you do, do this first of all shame on you and secondly its incredibly BM. Although its going to be kinda impossible to stop this since you can have 2 monitors.

I use it to alt tab to my music/stream/msn/email/other stuff. It is not only for cheating lol. Besides, even without it you can still alt tab easy if your computer doesn't suck.

I use Low, Low. Please add me in your post :D. I use Low cause I can't max on ultra and I feel if it's not ultra it's not the great looking anyway. And even with high, when there's a lot of units, it slows down a little.
hey man just curious
