After that do the turtorial in SC2.
Play 24/7 and go pro!
BW was nice btw
And I guess there is no game anywhere compareable to Starcraft gameplay like ( e.g. C&C or R.U.S.E.)
16th in bronze div ^^
zerg ofc, with terran idd prolly be in gold already xd

And always say GG at the end of a game ;D
youll be quite fast on a decent skill level
the only thing u really have to practice are which units counter others and to micro your units
and ofc scouting
but then again, they are the best in sc2 ;D
used to play it but now i random
what race do u play? terran?..

prety much just what u said ;D
but it helped me a lot yes, tho i dont know all counter units yet etc.
- game: SHIT
well its SHIT frankly!
i got bored during the SP, didnt finish it.
MP wise the game is just like any other RTS (ofc with its "personal touch" like any game) but nothing that makes it really special.
i prefer playing dow40k any time instead of getting into that game.
why you might ask yourself as i stated that it is just as good as any RTS game.
well its the most mainstream game avi atm and that ruins the best games let alone a "only" decent one.
it is especially stupid to start playing it now if you didnt play SC1, if you suck at RTS and now that its released for quite a while (even the noobs got time to improve).
only case i can think of is: you loved SC1 (cauz that was actually outstanding for its time), didnt have the time/the mood to play RTS and use this as "a reason" to go back to playing RTS.
cant think of any oher reason.
here you got all my elaborated hate on sequels these days (you can pretty much xchange "SC2" for any recent title)
Personal taste will decide whether you like it or not, but to say it's shit is a bit OTT.
hello, thats me. just the way my brain work. no offense taken i hope.
its "prac hard, go pro" or "eat shit and die"
--> Make sure you build enough workers so you get a lot of minerals and vespine gas, however do SPEND the minerals minerals that aren't put into units or buildings etc are useless minerals, yes you can say i ve had 1K more minerals than you have but hey he had the units to overrrun you ;)
--> Know the map + try and take over the extra bases see second point = more minerals more units ;)
--> Know the units!!!!!! It's useless to send in your army vs units who are a perfect counter against yours.. in that case it would be better to retreat and counter his units with others of yours :) that's why people speak of units and counter units!
for instance if u have unit A but it gets countered by unit B of opponent u could create some of unit C (who are a perfect counter to unit B) to go with A :-)
If you do this however do make sure u attack with unit C ahead and not let ur A units be cut into pieces :-) (= Micro)
-As a terran, build a wall at the "choke" or ramp to defend lings or early pushes
-use your workers if there are 6 lings in your base
-scout with a worker, information about the enemy's strategy are important
-build multiple production facilitys (as a Zerg, use queen's larvae injection & maybe 2nd hatch in main base)
-as Zerg, expand the creep with creep tumors because your ground army is faster on creep
-if you have to many minerals -> expand OR more production buildings OR more units
-20 - 30 works at the minerals at every base enough.
-don't lose units in attacks you cannot win. it's better to retreat if you see that you cannot win that fight
-watch replays and youtube videos
-find some build orders like 9 overlord, 14 extractor, pool for "quick" speedlings (zerglings with speed)
the wall in is useless in a MMM tax..
- learn the hotkeys!
- get a decent build order, check the cool internet!
- dont let arclite deceive u! he's noob :< X:DDDDDD
build order means at which supply count (worker/unit count) u build your buildings which is rly important ^^
