In regard to foreign players. A lot of foreigners like to use the Function buttons for all their macro buildings. I think Stylish mentioned it in one of his FPVOD's and so did Nony. F3->m,m,m,m,m,c,c taking full advantage of building placement. The reason why why foreigners don't switch? I dunno, but I've started using the function keys on my expansions too. | ||

Foreign players probably use this setup more than you think. We can't see where their F-keys are set (at least I've never seen a program that shows this information) so it's possible that they are doing both. | ||

It's also nice to constantly spam the keys you have gateways hotkeyed too so you can check unit progress, but I suppose you could do that even with nex hotkeyed to 098. All in all it's just better in every way, and you should definitely consider switching to it. | ||

The same can be said in Korean communities when they discuss about hotkeys and stuff, especially when they're in a team where the coaches make you use F keys It's basically just cultural. Foreigners tend to do things differently from Koreans. As Idra puts it, "with you guys, I have no fuckin idea what you're gonna do." | ||

Anyways, as a zerg I would use the function keys for additional bases so I don't need to take up half my keyboard hotkeying my bases. For toss and terran it's clearly less efficient to use the function keys instead of 098 -- you can't just 0P for a probe, plus drops are rare enough that's it's not worth it for the faster transfer. It would make sense to use the function keys and the 098 for your nexuses/CC's though, because that would give you the best of both worlds. | ||

Why didn't you just say that it's not made in Korea? Are you suggesting that people not from US should be termed "foreigner" instead? OMG plz be more sensitive. "Foreigner" is just terminology. As for arrogance, wtf? The word is in English dude, so this must mean that WE have termed it ourselves. It's not like "omg the koreans called us foreigners we must use that term to address ourselves from now on, even though it means we suck ." We are calling ourselves foreigners, and we have no problem with it. I have never thought of the word "foreigner" as a way for Koreans to be arrogant towards us. Also your thing about having both F keys and 0 9 8 keys is just redundant. Those hotkeys can be put to way better use if you already have F keys set up. | ||
