Starcraft II Clubhouse

Sounds like I need to just hammer out a build order and practice Macro while microing.

Any tips for doing the multiple buildings on single key thing? Like I said, thumbing through 6 rax, some with reactors, some with tech, some naked is foreign to me.

Well, if you want to build your stuff just bash away. For example, my usual tapping will go 5aaaaaad(tab)(tab)dd, selects my buildings, produces 6 marines and 2 rauders, tab to select factory, since that I currently don't do mech, tab again to starport and then build 2 medivacs. I usually have 2 techlabs and 2 reactors and 2 naked raxes by the time my second base kick in. As long as you have the appropriate buildings and addons they will produce the units as effectively as possible (for example, if you have 2 raxes and 1 with techlab, the first marine you build will be queued in the naked rax first). Also, each wireframe will have a small letter in it to tell you how many techlabs or reactors etc.

mlee, you would benefit a lot from Day9's videos if you don't watch them already. He used to do a "newbie tuesday" where he went over stuff like mouse and keyboard usage, hotkeys, etc. Check out the video archive @ http://day9.tv/.

See, I suck at small, frequent confrontations. I really should practice 2 rax aggression or engaging with smaller(sub 20food) armies.

How can I practice this and reinforce good mechanics at the same time?

Hot keys are had for me to use, multiple building assignments throws me off(especially Tw/addons).

you need hotkeys. you need one for your CC and one for all your rax - so you can produce while controlling the armies, and adjust rax rally points on the fly.

I put all of my raxes on a single hot key. Say I have two racks with tech labs and two with reactors, I start with rauders, then go to rines.

same, the game actually sets the first rines to the ones without tech reactors to assist with this.

Switch to zerg if this rax business is too hard to swallow, they only have hatches

Ok, question. I have 4 rax and 2 have reactors and 1 w/tech and 1 naked. If I set them all to a single hotkey, can I select it and press "draaa" and get a raud, reaper, 3xrines?

See my confusion, I'm not sure how it works. I think I'm going to start practicing the a 3 rax build and start small. Keep two with reactors on a single hot key, and the other w/tech lab for rauders. This way I can engage with a small army and focus on hotkey management while attacking.

Alternate question, can I select upgrades on the Tech labs(stim, shields) from a hotkey? Or does the tech lab need to be keyyed?

 

[Fourstaff]

You will get the rauder, queue the reaper in the rax with tech and get your 3 rines. If you have 4 raxes, 2naked and 2 with techlab, draa will get you all units in production at once. I think naked starts producing marines before reactor, but I am not too sure about that.

naked would produce one, then the reactor would take the next two.

Hey guys,

I bought a NA account, but can't see to get it to work.

I tried renaming both my current sc2 folder on the C: Program Files(x86) to StarCraft II - EU and desktop shortcut to StarCraft II - EU, so I could install the NA client.

When I go to install I get messaged that my current files will be override if I continue. I even tried installing the NA client to my 2nd HDD and still get the same message.

I already set up a new bnet account with the new NA key. Just need to figure out how to physically make it work.

I even tried the sc2 relocalizer and still nothing.

 

[Mussels]

Uggh, that sounds complicated. is there a way to unlock it so you get a region select like aussies do?

Did my best to google, but couldn't find a solution. I know the pros do it. Post up in the Battlenet forums and they'll be able to help you out.

You are better off doing it in TeamLiquid.net.

Holy crap, it's Poge! Oh, I am definitely adding you, though I probably won't be much challenge since I am a gold.

 

[Volkszorn88]

Hey guys, finally got my NA account working so add me ^^

fylfot - 284

So now have both EU and NA ^^

Senor POGE and Volkszorn88, OP has been updated

Anyone else watched MLG Anaheim? I think that is one of the best competitions I have seen for some time, really intense games and lots of backstory too.

Yeah was good to see boxer make it deep in a tourney, he has not had such good luck in sc2. Its sad he was 1 place away from winning a spot in Code S, but you can watch him play his prelims for Code A today at gomtv.net though if you tune in live. GSL is the pinnacle of sc2 awesomeness.

Reminds me of iloveoov

 

[POGE]

MMA is iloveoov Its ironic if boxer didnt train these kids he may well have gotten 2nd instead of 3rd and won his code S spot in the GSL.
