Shokz Starcraft 2 Guide Review | Shokz Starcraft 2 Strategy Guide

You might not be an expert in Starcraft 2 yet or you are already an advanced gamer but you feel learning how to use and setup your Starcraft 2 Hotkeys can increase your gameplay, either way learning how to use your hotkeyes well can increase your ability to defeat your enemy fast and easy. Here are some tips…

You might think that you just use hotkey on anything. But there are more efficient ways to use hotkey. Now when your dealing with numbers 1 to 7 (possibly, what you want to do is to take your pinky, put on the control key and hold it down. Then take your index finger and push the number you want to push. That is maybe x4 faster than what people usually do when they start to hotkey which is to use their thumb to hit the control key. For numbers 1 and 2 by all means use your middle finger if you find it more comfortable and easier.

For numbers 9 and 10 ( you can do two things. 1 is to swing your your thumb up with your pinky on control and hit 9 and 10.

The second thing you can do and is what i do, is to scoot your hand over to the right side of your keyboard, press your thumb on the control key and hold it down, and then use your index, middle, or ring finger to hit 9 and 10

Now the movements might seem strenuous at first, I know they did for me. And all you need to do is practice practice practice and they will eventually feel normal. Think of it like your learning to do the coin walk or how to twiddle a pen through your fingers. Just do it enough and your fingers will get used to the movements. Using your thumb is really hard to hit letters with and i really really dont recommend it. When choosing what unit or building to hotkey to what number. What you want to think about which is the least possible travel for my fingers. Dont think about whether itll be comfortable or not. It will become comfortable, just think about which number will be fastest distance wise for my fingers to get to.

Learn how to use Hotkeys on your enemy

Here is one really important note that one should really take note of. Never  Hotkey your entire army in one blob. This allows for really limited mobility of your army and makes it once big juicy splash target.

If you want to do is separate your army into chunks. You can spread your army through your hotkeys anyway you want. You can do 1 as melee 2 as range 3 as air and 4 as casters. Or 1 as a small blob, 2 as small blob 3 as air, 4 as casters. Really anyway you want. What im probably going to do is have 1 as a blob 2 as a blob 3 as a blob 4 as a blob 5 as casters and 6 or whatever hotkey is after my army, or as whatever i want to keep special track of.

Like for example if your controlling your army, and you if your going to be amoving (attack moving) it a lot, you wouldnt use the numbers 0 9 8 7 for your army would you? No you would use 1 2 3 4 for your army because thats the least travel distance. So instead of doing this extreme motion of 0a9a8a7a you can easily do 1a2a3a4a instead, right?

Effective way to use Hotkeys for your unit producers

Let us say what we want is to put your hatcheries, your racks, at the number immediately after your army. So it would be 7 or 6. Something along those lines. As for protoss you can just hit W and all your warpgates are selected.

However, this probably going to be one of those hotkeys you really cant forget about when you get to higher and higher levels. It will give you an edge over people that dont and can really win you games.

Effective ways on using hotkeys for the upgraders

Try thinking out of the way. Maybe like 0 or 9. Something that you dont really need. This is probably the least important but it can actually be really important to keep those upgrades going especially PvZ because of that 2 hit advantage zealots get over zerglings once they get 1+ weapons.
