Full video here: http://blip.tv/file/3732340

We re-examine the basics of the game that we often take for granted as our APM starts to increase. In particular we talk about what it really means to have good timing, how to use hotkeys effectively, keyboard and mouse exercises, keeping money low, and other staples of quality play.

Day 9....Thanks. I'm relatively new to SC2, but my super huge competitive side is pushing me towards competing in tournaments. You're videos are really helping me out. Keep up the good work.

I'm not using a keyboard AT ALL. See no control groups or anything. I'm only using a mouse and keyboard....

hmmm.

Not your best day today :P

@nanxifeng

Yeah, it even says 'spawn more overlords' in the top right. Not to mention that Kerrigan is speaking rather than the male Protoss voice

[nanxifeng]

I swear I heard "build more overlords" o_o and he's playing protoss...Anyone else heard it??
