at your level ... can start with speedling expand build every game.

one thing though with the extractor trick ... do 10 drones, overlord first, then extractor trick.

the build is: extractor at 14 drones, spawning pool at 14 drones, drone until 15 and then an overlord. when the pool finishes, you should have enough money and supply to start a queen and 6 zerglings.

you'd want to pull your drones off the gas when you hit 100 gas; begin speedling research immediately.

because you'll have zergling speed, it becomes alot easier to get to the enemy ramp to take a peek and see what their up to and proceed with the matchup more carefully, and also take watchtowers.

alright, thanks.

TLO casting with TotalBiscuit at dreamhack. Maybe if my micro is good enough i can mute all the TB parts and only hear TLO.

my inject management is so fucking bad. i love the minimap so i just click my bases on it, click my queen, v, click hatch, then repeat. its so slow when i compare to some of the pros

but i gotta ask... why do you involve esc in your injects?

Not sure if it's you or another Gold Zerg that I obs but either you or someone else had their queens all under one hotkey and the hatches in another. I used to do that for the longest time (4 for all queens and 5 for hatches) and used the minimap to inject. I had really piss poor larve management because of it. I finally forced myself to put all hatches under 4 and main queen on 5, natural expo queen on 6, and so on. Now I inject with so much ease it's ridiculous how my performance is dramatically improved. Now I have to work on my macro to keep my larve count low. Seriously try it, it may help you a ton.

Bonus (but not necessary): I pair up the hatch and the queen under the same hotkey. For example my main hatch and queen would be under 5 so when I hit 5 twice it brings my screen to the center of that hatch. Works for me.

 

[butts]

I follow Psy's method, all hatches on one hotkey (I use 5), then on each base select your injecting queen for that hatch and then select that hatch and bind them both to the next hotkey up. Do that for all of your bases (so for me it is 6 home, 7 natural, 8 is 3rd etc). That way you can 66vclick, 77vclick, 88vclick and you center back on the hatch for a quick look. I used to use the all queens on one hotkey method but I ended up messing things up all the time. This way you have a hotkey to make mass units and then separate hotkeys for each base.

This is exactly what I'm explaining. Link is easier to understand.

Edit: Hmm... TLO's method sounds awfully interesting.

I just realized after posting I wrote essentially the same thing you did

It really is the best method IMO, I tried the all in one and the minimap spawning and both were way inferior.

a good tip is use hatch ("town hall") selection key, backspace. i rebinded it to tilde, so i can literally scroll through my hatches.

Its not like blizzard banned him from the game lol. He just cant compete in professional tournys.

 

[V_Arnold]

4: All hatches
0: All Queens
W: Tab between hatches, "center" camera but do not mess with the selection

Inject:
0wvclickwclickwclick..*n.

Easy, fast, safe.

 

[Pandaman]

1 all hatch
thats it.

 

[BigAT]

I have all my Queens on one hotkey, then I bound "cycle Hatcheries" (traditionally backspace) to one of my mouse buttons. Hit the hotkey for all the Queens, then alternate with V and cycling through the Hatcheries to inject each.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I have Hatches on 4, Queens on 5, and base cam on `, 5 shift v `click`click`click
