How do you micro your banelings against MMM Bioballs? Move in with move command and then exploding them manually?

I think the stream is really great! I think the commentating was good and I hope you do more of that. There is some kind of limiter on your microfone so when you are quiet or speak softly it goes really loud and when you speak louder it becomes quieter.

I have some questions:

You don't use health bars, why not?

i find it annoying when the whole screen is filled with healthbars, but maybe ill turn them on for selected units. but overall im so used to pressing alt from wc3/dota that its no big deal for me

It seems that you try to aim for 18 drones on minerals on each expantion? Is it something you count?

i usually do 18-20 and yes, i check fairly often how many more drones i will need so i dont oversaturate or build too few drones.

You always upgrade muta armor very early, to keep them more robust I assume? Is there a more specific reason? Then it seems you go for the attack upgrade twice and then the 2+ armor

i usually go armor/attack/armor against terran as i use the mutas to fight and harras quite alot, marines attack pretty fast with rather low damage and turrets have 2 attacks, so i think armor is quite good there. against protoss i get attack first because im not intending to fight his units anyway, plus, protoss units deal more damage per shot so armor doesnt seem as useful.

What is your opinion on opening roaches? like a 13 pool 16 gas 15 overlord 16 ling 20 overlord and roach warren before queen is half way done and then get out 6 roaches when inject larva pops

well its kind of allin and will rarely work, dunno why you would want to play like that

You said you used 1100 dpi on the x axis and 1300 dpi on the y axis with the G500. Do you have the drivers installed? I assume you play in 1900x1200, if not what resolution do you play in? Do you consider your sensitivity high, low or medium?

i used setpoint (logitech driver program). i think its 1920x1200 or so, but yes. i think i use medium to high sensitivity

What Catalyst drivers do you use and how many mhz are your processor? (i7)
official catalyst driver, i dunno what the name is. my processor is 2.8 ghz quadcore

Do you play chess?

no, but i play Go (a board game that is very popular in japan/korea/china, not very much in the west though)
