Diamond level Protoss here. Haven't really played alot since WoL (at least 3-4 seasons ago) and have been trying to get back into it. A problem I've always had is not knowing the optimal way to use hotkeys in the sense of what a typical macro-cycle.

Like most non masters players, macro is my crux. It's hard for me to keep my army active enough to react while macroing at the same time. I have started to use the 'bases' key -> rebound it from backspace to spacebar. This has helped tremendously in base defense, probe tranfsers and just checking on the overall status of my bases. I previously thought everyone used camera keys....and there's just no way I can use the fkeys that easily...maybe for proxy pylons and quick 4gate/proxy builds I would use the fkeys.

My questions:

1. any other similar hotkeys that revolutionized the way you played (like the bases key)?
2. what does your typical macro cycle look like? ie. 1(army)/move it/base key/base key/4/5/w/1 etc....
3. any other hotkey tips you personally use and help you achieve a specific goal? ie. special camera hotkeys for when you will be proxying stargates etc...


Thanks, looking forward to seeing some pro tips.
