1. zealot sentries immortal
2. stalkers
3. colosi or early game harass units.
4. nexus
5. robo
6. stargate
7.8.9.0. miscellaneous (upgrades, obs, unfinished tech, forward pylon, etc)

F1 = main base
F2 = natural
F3 = third
F4 = opponent's area

i dont know i can hotkey opponent base...haha

for me
1 -> all nexus
2 -> warpgates (well i could just press w instead but i just know it now)
3 -> robo
4 -> stargate

so, 3 hotkeys for me not including warpgates..

not a big fan of hotkeys..but i think proxy pylon and observer should be hotkeyed quite often but i always failed to do that, observer is freaking annoyed to spot even it is your own unit..

i dont usually hotkey my main army cuz there is always new army joining
for specific units i wanna use, i press ctrl + click instead, tab just to change spell caster

its a good habit to ctrl group them while they are warping in. since you are waiting too....

to add new army into old group, lets say ur old stalkers are in 5, when u warp in 4 new stalkers, highlight them, press shift 5. then they will be added to your old hotkey group. hope it helps smile.gif

i think i cant really do it in the heat of battle considering shift key is always far away from number keys, perhaps i should just use my macro keyboard to change the shift key to other key to reduce the distance if i am serious about this, thinking that pro players usually have everything hotkeyed..

only applicable to terran, cos terran is imba.
lose all units,still can use mules... yawn.gif

terrans that keep on mule-ing and do not bother to use scan are terrifying ones, usually when they go for marines marauder which only minerals based army, i think this is the biggest problem for me in all the matchups

lol i will be really sad or rather upset if those koreans pro really hotkeyed their keyboards sad.gif

in BW, its not allowed and those pros were real jizz yawn.gif

marines and mutalisk this 2 most used units' hotkey is M for god sake....

probe is P....

overlord is O...

sc2 is like........x100 easier adi in terms of keyboard placement. although i dont understand why not F2f3f4....why f5f6f7

as i expect, u can be saddened quite easily, well, the legality of using a macro keyboard with bound key is legal in gsl and most tournaments, but what are u describing is, it is morally wrong if not illegal since i have pointed out the fact, if u think moral worths making u sad, consider, why rule makers in gsl allow macro key to be used, do they view moral as important as u do?

but not more than 1 key input in a single press, and i doubt, even if that is allowed, i cant find a real way of making use of it blink.gif

if terran imba most terran will have 80++ win ratio... do u see that???
if terran imba.. terran will win 90% of tournaments... is that happening???

terran is not overall imba, but in a certain level, in high level tournament level, every race is kinda balance, but in the mid level play, terran would be a better race to choose, especially against protoss, this is what i experienced, terrans will just go MMM even though u scouted he has gone for this tech path because this is 'the build', the only alteration is mix in ghosts and/or vikings, which this transition is not so hard to do at all
