I would really recommend the grid setup in the hotkeys makes life so easy . its uses a tiny part of your keyboard and makes controlling a whole army with 1 hand very easy :D, love the vids brother
a good unit to use instead of (or with) nikara is Rattlesnake. I was skeptical at first but after using him for a time I really see his value as a true "combat" medic. Using them together just makes it so your squad won't die 99% of the time.
I wanna give a brief explanation about hotkeys and how they change your game by first giving a brief history. I've been playing StarCraft since I had memories, and been playing every and all types of games as I grew up. My family and I would sit down and LAN party StarCraft: Brood War on Fastest Map Possible all the time. And let me tell you, after playing StarCraft for close to 16-17 years before using Hotkeys, I can say this about my skills I ABSOLUTELY FRIGGIN' SUCKED!!! How the hell does that happen? How can someone do something for almost 2 decades and BLOW at doing it? I didn't use hot keys. That, and I was really obsessed with watching fights as opposed to microing the fight or doing base building. Beyond that age, I started using and memorising hotkeys. Holy mother of Sigmar, I swear I feel absolutely embarrassed and ashamed when I think back on how I used to play. My god, I've been playing these games for 23 years and I've only been GOOD at them for like 7 or 8. Seriously kids. Stay in Hotkeys, Do your Swarmling rushes and don't do Terrazine.
Nux is underrated? He's a terran that can do psionic storm better than high templar. Why would people underrate him? I always make sure to have him in the crew. Nice vid man. Though i would recommend always expand asap, since Tychus needs a tons of money. And you should prioritize upgrading your current outlaw before recruiting new one. Tychus damage will increase tremendously as soon as you get his anti-armor round
Now if you wanna impress us use the hotkeys for Alarak's units to make Slayers blink and Ascendants do stuff (mostly cuz at the peak stack buff they can get they do 700 damage with mind blast)
@@Fin-949 I just A move outside of the range of anything that could hit them, or have air units to take the brunt but can defend themselves. It isn't much but it's honest work
Organism does not match known sequences for entity ToxicSpill. New entity demonstrates assimilation of hotkey usage. Extent of changes, unclear. Further video sequences required for study. ...in all seriousness, nicely done~.
Pro tip: After you saturate your main expansion, add your second main building to the hot key and you can set both rally points onto your expansion. Voila, double worker production! Also, if you need an in-game partner for anything, let me know 😎
@@ToxicSpilll I do hope you switch to Grid layout, as it's WAY easier to use, for all races. You know how right now, all your hotkeys are, well, different? That's TERRIBLE! I always hated that too! But with Grid... your SCV/Probe/Drone "Build" button is always at the bottom left on the screen. The bottom left of the keyboard? Z. Then a new Command Center is always top left on the screen -- so it's Q. Vespene is always W. Supply is always E, etc etc etc. It's the same for every commander. The more unique or complex options obviously differ, but the locations on the keyboard are ALWAYS the same in that GRID with your left hand. Meaning it really becomes second nature to keep your left hand on home row keys rather than memorizing what's bound to what and stretching your hand across the keyboard for no good reason. Anyway, good luck!
7:07 Lt. Morales is from Dead of Night, to be more precise

Thank you!
as tychus would say "hell its about time"
It is about time indeed.
ToxicSpill 6 months earlier: 200 subs, that's amaizing
ToxicSpill now: 1,25k subs, i don't even know what to say
I don't either. Pinch me cause I don't know if this is real.

The area of effect healing is alarmingly strong
Glad to see you growing! but how did you go YEARS without hotkeys? haha good effort man! :))
You dont need them? F2 is fine
You tell him!
Love the humor
Thank you

Next lesson. Place all production structures on one key and use the TAB key. Saves a lot of hot bar space
Also works for units
Noted...
I mean… Nikara essentially fills the same role as Morales so I don’t blame you for mixing them up

Noted and Nux is not used enough by other players. Mildy unfortunate...
2:49 *realizes my hands are really big as i can reach both shift keys at the same time with little trouble*
HOLY SHIT!

Slowly Boy slowly!
I'll try later
Welcome to the club youngin’…. SC1 boomers like myself were forced to use hot keys on SC1 because of the 12 unit limit!
Yeah, SC1 players had it hard.
@toxicspill what difficulty lvl you always play coop on !?
Brutal or hard mode only
Wait what you didn't use hotkeys???
Finally :D
Thank you!
haha great video now you are learing NOW DO A SERIES ABOUT GRINDING ALL THE PRESTIGES IN SC2 CO OP AND BECOME THE NEXT CtG
baby steps, baby steps
Congrats: your apm is now 50+
That's low...
@@ToxicSpilll i know, my actual max is 70 in pvp lmao
Next up - playing with build order and grape Hybrid to oblivion 😜
Wo wo wo, slow it down. It took all my power to do this. Baby steps
Next step: Use control groups for different parts of your army.
Me who still doesn't do that cuz it's easier to tab through them because of the order they're in lol
@@TruestMoo What about overseers, observers and Nova's ravens?
@@Fin-949 I just A move outside of the range of anything that could hit them, or have air units to take the brunt but can defend themselves. It isn't much but it's honest work
@@TruestMoo There is nothing wrong with A moving in co-op. Just don't do it when you are playing Tychus p2 or Fenix p2.
@@Fin-949 I get the Tychus p2 but why Fenix?
Next Goal : Achieve 600 APM
ToxicSpill is basically Serral.
yep...
i still think you were cooler without hotkeys but thats fine.
Much appreciated
Hotkeys... whats that?
I think they are... important... I don't know, I'm new at this.
Real men don't need hotkeys
nux sux tho :P
He isn't that bad

Why thank you abathur lol

Noted for next time, thank you.
Bro just use grid hotkeys is so much better :)
Let me try this method first.
