silver league teach me lots of good thing after promoted.
1- im soo f***ing weak. (damn emo after streak -7 lost)
2-MACRO IS VERY IMPORTANT
3-my opening is good, my MID game is sampah.
question is
- in 1 mineral, how many gatherer u put?
- 2xGAS, 2 on 1 GAS on start, 3/2 on both GAS on heavy mech mid game?
- do u group Barrack, Factory, Starport in 1 hotkey?
----- im using 4 for barrack, 5 for factory, 6 for starport, 7 for command center. 1,2,3 for unit. need a better idea.
- do u group MMM (marine, marauders, medic) in ONE hotkey?
all smal things like this makes a difrent, so i want an oppinion. ty.
gas is needed later on and you'll be gas starved. dont worry too much of getting too much gas early as you'll need them if ur game drag. what you may want to worry is getting refinery (or double, thats 150min) too early which may hinder ur early rush/push/defence
3 per gas is standard. 4 if ur despo and the distance is further than normal gas location.
mineral is 2 per patch (8 standard) which totals 16 however you may allocate 2-4+ more since the workers will move around on occupied minerals. no more than 2.5 per mineral (totals ~20+)
and screw the guide's 3 per patch of 24 lol... takes up food and waste of minerals to get the worker.
that said, for FIRST base you may go 3 per min, or more, considering you may expand, and you can saturate the 2nd expansion much quicker by transferring the workers from ur first base
