So.. in the beginning of the games, what exactly are they doing with their fingers? I've watched some pros streaming and seen them just spamming onto minerals and stuff I guess to stay limber, but these guys are flying. Is it just something to keep them warmed up for the ensuing shitstorm? I've always been curious.

Habit, rhytm and warming up, one or all of these, it's much easier to just spam for me than to turn up my APM to 10 when the situation calls for it. It's also decent tool to get faster, if you spam 250 APM at the start, it's easier to keep up for the rest of the game I feel

Also spamming your worker rally to all the mineral patches really tests your mouse accuracy

They are also setting up camera hotkeys at the beginning of the game. So they can just tap a hotkey and go to that location later in the game.

Oh yeah, that's a big one, really helped my game to be able to jump to any nexus with a single key

Make sure to remap the keys since they start on F5. I use F2-4 as my camera keys since this isn't BW and I don't need 9 different locations.

I use F2-F6 and have them set up up to F8
Double tapping is rather inefficient, especially for the keys further away, 7-0, unless you rebind them somewhere else, but then you have pretty much a custom hotkey setup and you can do whatever you want.

Anyone ever watch how pros set up their cameras? They don't use the mouse on the minimap to center it, they do something else. Does anyone know?

I often have to rebind my locations because they're not centered and it ANGERS ME.

The only way to get it 100% right is to set it up after the main building finishes with base camera, at least as far as I know. I just eyeball it.
