  • lol wth... ADVANCED hotkeys, but its a BEGINNER guide???

  • hey I watched the entire playlist, it helped a whole lot

    Thanks a billion!

  • Thanks for doing this man. I bought this game on release and I SUCK at it. You have helped me really enjoy RTS much more. I still suck! But I am getting better at it. I am seeing the attraction to SC1 and SC2 now. Thanks!

  • this is just awesome, thanks for all the tips. im new to the game and this is really going to help me out alot. thnx

  • how come ur hotkeys are different from mine?

    my nexus is n and assimilator is a

  • @lingxi3 he is using Grid style hotkeys, covered in the "Mastering Hotkeys (Grid) [TTG] video.

  • @lingxi3 hes playing on GRID

  • you're my hero

  • where do i find the unit tester?

  • @SYSTIEM In the game itself. Multiplayer -> Custom Map -> Search Unit Tester!

  • this helps if you have taken keyboarding class.

  • Hell, It's About Time, thank you thinking gamer for posting this video.

  • i find these guides very helpful, thanks ;)

  • Do more commentaries man!!! Your awsome.

  • Thankyou for this video man its really helped me a LOT with my starcrafting, very awesome, keep making awesome vids and i'll keep watchin' ^_^

  • where you at? you can't be on another cruise?!

  • Theres a challenge where you can only use hotkeys

  • Your videos are great, but you should really think about shortening them. You spend a lot of time repeating the same things, in this video, for example, you use 6 minutes to explain key shortcuts and shift-queuing, and I'm afraid your viewers will grow impatient. :)

  • @mpma08

    pfft the longer the better! It's SC2 cant be explained in 5minutsman!

  • The only people who gave you a thumbs-down probably got their ass handed to them when their opponent watched your tutorials. Haha.

  • WB - Missed your vids.

  • I wasn't good at the first star craft. with SC2, I am actually trying to get good. Your vids, in conjunction with help from my friends who are good at SC, I am slow, but surely getting better. Thanks for taking your time to help others who don't have apm that equals 500.

  • oh, i didnt know you could edit your hotkeys....

  • great video, thanks man.

  • Great video! Totally builds on the concepts you've been introducing in the past and is just another piece of ESSENTIAL information for beginning players like myself. Thank you!

  • My mind was blown by Control Groups, and while I'd LOVE to switch to Grid, I can't bring myself to abandon my "A" key for attacking. I do however have a 5 button mouse, and I have a feeling I may switch a few "unit abilities" to my mouse since that seems easier than memorizing hotkeys for specific unit abilities.

  • @MEMANIAsama

    Pressing T for attack only seems like a huge deal until you play 3 games with it. Been there and done that.

  • @NwebYT , I'm considering switching to grid, but I really don't like to keyboard dance with my fingers too much. I'm very much a "clicker" no matter what type of game I play. Although I'd really love if there was a hybrid between normal & grid, where you could devote a single button or key to spells/abilities. I'd love to have stimpack as a mouse button for example.

  • @MEMANIAsama you get used to it, i switched to grid not to long ago but if you do decide to switch to a different race for once it will help out, but i know what you mean, im not a big button person when it comes to games like this. i like using my mouse but this is SOOO much faster and probably be able to win just by using these shortcuts

  • Love these videos...I like watching the big games but as a player, I'll never get better watching them. These tutorials are great and there are not enough of them on the net. Thanks!

  • THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • good to have you back

  • I have my building hotkeys down, have had for a while. But i sill use the mouse clicks to train units. I guess you can use this same exercise for that too!

  • Check out the Map YABOT (yet another build order tester)

  • @cascoll2000 I actually did a video on it! :P

  • @TheThinkingGamer love your video's I played SC1 years ago so it was awhile before I got the hang of RTS games again... I use the Grid system and the queen larva hot-key stuff all the time because of your videos. Hell I might have found Yabot because of you? I can't remember but You rock!

  • I still play SC1 from time to time... And I'm so used to playing with the grid key system that it always screws me up when I go back to Brood war... LOL

  • Very useful video! Keep it up!

  • while I love the commentry that HD and Husky cast, as a newer SC2 player, I love the fact that TTG goes through the VERY basics of game play, I mean I haven't seen a hot keys and command groups video better then TTG's, Thanks man it's heaps appretiated, time to practice those hot keys :P

  • @chainerd Agreed, I watch Husky and HD videos and I wonder how the crap they can play so good. Looking at TTG I can see that its all down to the basics.

  • @chainerd agree...im new to SC.....this helped alot

  • good idea with the exercises. I constantly find myself reverting to mouse clicks.

  • Thank you very much for your advice, very helpful.

  • good vids man keep it up.

  • already missed you ... thank you very much for your tips ... now just need to practice ... I hope you upload more videos for us newbies ... greetings ...

  • LOVE these guides. They improve my game HUGE! Keep em coming. =P

  • thanks for the very helpful videos!
