@irmoqb with the hatchery selected hold down 'control' and then the number you want to hotkey it to. On mac anyways, don't know if it's the same for PC
In this entire 10 minute video you didn't have any combat units besides Zerglings and that long into the game your opponent should have gotten Colossus (assuming he knows it's effective against Zerg). With 2-3 Colossus and a small mix of Zealots, Stalkers, and Immortals (if you had a roach warren) he could of easily taken you out right there.
It would probably have been better for you to get the Nydus Network earlier to prevent any early attacks/harrass which your opponent should have done.
Just to point out you took too much time making workers. You would also make a queen before multiple hatcheries and I'm not sure why you wouldn't put the hatcheries at the natural expansion.
Since you had such a large mineral excess at the beginning, you should have built a Queen right when the spawning pool finished. It would have let you get 4 more larva every 40 seconds (via the Spawn Larva ability, hotkey is V and then use it on a hatchery), which would have greatly increased your rushing efficiency. It also would have saved you from needing to get a 3rd hatchery so soon, I would think.
okay I'm just going to tell you now, its easy to know where you are you don't have to move your overlords around cause the maps are usually done symmetrically so odds are if I'm on one side you will be straight across from me not right beside me... so just forget trying to force them to scout and build up a blockade so they cant see what you have
@Micky350 New to the game? It's completely random... chances are 33.3% that they will be directly across. As you can see in this video.... they aren't.
yeh, a queen right after pool (esp since u had so many minerals) would have been way better. if u were against a better opponent, it wuda been over for u.
@andbetterdays they patched it you know :D i love this beta tried for it on battle (DOT) net and i got it in a week even though i had a crappy computer and i need to play it on medium graphics or low i cant remeber but it is still very fun :D so that proves you dont need a great gaming computer to get the beta just to tell some people :D not you some people like wolvesknights.
Like I said watch it in "720p" and the quality is near perfect. Yes you sacrifice a tiny bit of quality when it's being re-encoded but then again I could just not upload videos for you to watch if you'd prefer. I was using a faulty microphone and didn't realize it. My new microphone is being used on all videos other than this one.
i don't people to follow my strategies to a tee. they are more of an example for others so that it may spark new ideas for them to build on. thanks for the comment.
When I tested my video I made sure that the audio was fine at 50%. Either way I changed the way I record my audio. Let me know if you want me to record new auudio for this video.
