Starcraft 2 Beginners Guide #3 Hotkeys

In the third episode of my Starcraft 2 Beginners guide I begin to go over a side advantage in starcraft, something that you don't necessarily need to win but something that will make micro/macroing much easier and more useful. Hotkeys.

Episode Recap-

-Hotkeys are the keys on your keyboard you use to select or create a action within the game.

-You can bound units or buildings to hotkeys by holding either ctrl and then a # or shift and then a # then when you press that number on the keyboard it will select that unit or building.

-If you press it twice and fast, it will being you to that unit or building.

-You also need to learn the hotkeys for actions, like to attack or use blink. You should always look at the hotkey then press it so you will remember for next time.

Use the hotkeys, Shift 1, Shift 2, and Shift 3 to switch between races in that map.

The music used in this video are the following. The intro song is, Legends of Archery by Driftless Pony Club and the song I use at the end is, Sleeping Lessons by The Shins. If you have any suggestions for future songs I can use to introduce the video or end the video please leave them below and you may be featured in a episode if I use one or both of them.

Thanks for watching and hopefully enjoying if you have any questions post them below and I'll try my best to answer or someone else will. If the question is good and I or others think that it would be useful to answer on a future episode then I will do that and feature your username.

e for stimpack? u wasting so many ppl time...don't make a tutorial video if ur not sure wat all the hotkeys are

[SingleTap]

@genksui u for you? ppl for people? ur for you're? wat for what? Don't write a comment unless you know how to spell.

[adamator2005]

I appreciate the high-rez demo, but it'll help a lot (especially for new players), to write down and prepare your tutorial before you hit record. It's clear that you weren't completely prepared and it made it very hard to follow/understand.

You mention in your video "better with or without script" - well u have my answer.

Tip for training beginners - assume that they don't know ANYTHING! And avoid the temptation of flipping through your hotkeys while you're talking...step by step.

[SingleTap]

@adamator2005 It'd be a lot easier to if I was talking while controlling the game, but sadly my computer doesn't allow that so I have to kinda ad lib with the video instead of saying just what I need to say and I need to hurry up through topics so I can talk about what is going on screen. It's tough and probably makes the video less enjoyable/helpful sadly.

[blackpoomaster]

haha your a noob. pretending to know hotkeys your horrible with them.. soooo sloppy.

[SingleTap]

@blackpoomaster I don't know noobs where high rank platinum that only plays once a week or 2, troll.

[TCGameGuides]

Hey SingleTap are you not making these anymore? i'm really new to SC2 and i was learning a lot from them.

[PanfPanfPanfPanf]

@SingleTap It is dumb that @genksui called you out on the hot key but attacking his spelling is just as low. If you plan to keep making videos at least have more class than that. 

[monkeyace12345]

8 minutes... to explain hot keys?

[raivrp]

4:23 did u really destroy the depot just to pass!?...... my heart ached >.<

[hollywoodMIF]

as far as the script goes, make an outline.... not a script. So you dont repeat yourself, and so you can know what to say next, what needs to be said, etc. But don't ever make a word for word script... ever.

[MarcDonders]

The guide is really helpful. Getting a few tips myself here. But don't shoot ur supply depot; u can lower it with hotkey R. Or just transport ur units over the block with the medivacs (these are hotkeyed to..). Don't know if anybody saw it earlier; but it really struck me that you didn't do it at 4:22

[iLastSpy]

Thanks. But can you hurry the fuck up, waiting 120 seconds per video for you to say something useful is annoying as fuck.

[razormart]

@MgBlazer77 agreed lol
