Just watched the couple existing HotS battle reports. Looks scary! So much new stuff to learn about! I still haven't learned all of the old stuff yet! lol

In any event, I really need to keep my eye on the timer, and get used to when things happen, so that I can get a proper sense of when I need to be doing things myself. It was pointed out to me on my last blog, for example, that I don't really have to worry about building an evo chamber for defense until like 6 minutes or something. That'd free up minerals for expanding and queens and stuff.

Wow, I played one game knowing full well that my brain wasn't yet attuned to it, and it sucked! Not because I lost, but because I was totally discombobulated. Oh well! :D

This really doesn't help immediately but after a few hundred games you just kind of memorize timings with your internal clock. It's a lot of work to remember everything at first (which is why it's better to play to your league, watch out for DT rushes if you're still in gold

) but eventually you memorize the common stuff and it just comes naturally!
