He'll be playing in the Blizzard cup at least, maybe he'll stay in korea for a while longer and try to qualify for Code A? Would be cool to have a foreigner in Code A that will last longer then 1 round >_>

Of course every player is different and are comfortable using different ways of playing but I think Steph's technique has helped him somewhat. It also helps that his decision making is impeccable too.

dimaga uses it, afair sen also, but dimaga almost always uses it since release so no, hes not only one using it, i use it also but it slows your macro, its helpfull for aggresive play but slows your unit production because you have to ctrl click on eggs and than shift, which takes 0.5-1 sec.

it slows your macro because you cannot reselect your hatcheries before you shift add eggs, and after you shift add your eggs you have to select your hatcheries again, which results in slower macro, both methods have its uses

Why are you using CEST in December? >_>

Anyway, he usually starts streaming around 15:00 GMT (+00:00).

I mean, MC is a two time champion, and then slumped a lot, are you going to tell me because he won 2 GSLs that it meant he was better than other Protosses who had yet to win a GSL but were playing more consistent and winning more often, at a more recent point?

just read your sentence angain... it's just confusing as hell because you are jumping back and forth.


At the time of his slump, MC was playing less consistent than other protosses, who had surpassed him since the GSL championships. His GSL champions became irrelevant to his current level of skill.

If this is what I think it is, it sounds pretty smart considering you can have those new units instantly come reinforce instead of checking on them later or possibly having a bad rally.

Are you saying he will, if he's making mutas for example, hotkey the eggs making the mutas? Or is it more general, where he just hotkeys all his eggs with 1 of his army hotkeys, or a separate one?


Actually he hotkey when he makes in different groups, depending on the mix etc... for ALL units exept mutas And this technique is bad for mutas because they fly around the map alone with fail rally-points... This is a reason why he doesn't muta/ling/bling s terran, because he has huge diffuculties not to groups his mutas while in eggs since it became a reflex.

I have exactly the same, my mutas so often fly over terran units because they just hatched and fly to my other mutas ><
But I was surprised hardly any pro immediately hotkeys the newly made units, before they are hatched; glad to see stephano do it :D

anyone know why he seems to use like only 4 hotkeys, when terrans always try and multi drop him and itd be so much easier to have 1 hotkey for all lings then a couple of hotkeys for separate groups of lings to send a group to each drop?

hes doing great anti-drop play, no need to use hotkeys if you dont need it

he uses diselecting for drops

I wonder what Stephano does in Korea all day, since he plays all his games on http://www.sc2ranks.com/kr/3282599/DreAm and there are few games per day. He even played customs on that account so I think its his only account there.

Hmm, when you build units they all stay selected. Then you just need to Shift+number of your army to add them.

If you build drones+units then you got a problem (or if you build different types of units that you don't want on same groupkey).

He is 41th right now with a 72% ratio. Not bad after less than a week.

But he didnt. He loaned an accout that was mid masters and started to play rank 1 masters and low GM at day 1. At day 2 he only played GM. Day 3 he got promoted to GM

Also if you go over his matches from yesteday you can see how much he wins and losses and its close to 70% and thats why he is raising so fast in the GM league
