So playing completely standard and having the other player be able to cut all corners (in your words "random") to be able to gain such a huge advantage is a good way to play? kk

Pls stop assuming all players play completely standard 100% of the time.

i just use a few myself

B+S = build spawning pool
B+E = build extractor
i need to build 3 of them asap for my build, so hotkeys are usefull for them

5 = select main
6 = select proxy hatchery
6or7or nothing = creep tumor queen / nexis worm entrence
8 = nexis worm exit
9 = infestation pit for locust upgrade
1 = corruptors+oversees
2 = swarmhost or locust / scouting drone-proxy hatchery drone
3 = can be locust, when micro my overlord/air/locust/spores/spires at ones
select army+ctrl+click corruptors, to select all corruptors, and simular selection actions
spores/spire/drones/tumor queen near proxy/overlords/oversees/swarmhost+corruptor-production/even swarmhost i control whitout hotkeys, it could be a option to do so, but for my build it not matters that match

you'll need to go into your hotkeys and move some stuff around

like move the camera positions from f5+ to f1 f2 f3 f4 etc

you need to set the camera position itself and the hotkey "method" for setting the camera positions (it makes sense when you look at the hotkeys)

have your nexus on something like 6 with 1-4 for your army/warp prism/whatever and put your robo/stargate on 5 or something

for build orders just watch miniguns stream (or Grubby) and copy him

the "standard" way of playing is pretty easy to figure out but why it is the way it is might be hard to understand until you play it a bit and try to deviate

that being said, you can venture out and do your own things (that's fine), but knowing why it works is why you would to learn how to play standard

Being random is a lot better than copying a build. You win so much more because people have no idea how to react.
