How did you know?

I do. I don't play it. I tried to get good at multiplayer but it's like a second job more than a game.

I used to.

But I was pretty shit at the technicals, IE the start. Timing is very important, scouting what the enemy has early is real important, figuring out what it is and countering it is important.

Just a bit too tedious even for me.

I have it

Not a huge fan

Dont really enjoy it

same as sym. haven't played it in well over a year.

Just search for Day 9 in Youtube.

Learn Korean, and learn from the best.

<_<
>_>

Slide~

I have down what the units do,I just suck in the beginning and am way too slow to even beat the medium a.i. computer, also I don't know when to expand lol

You expand as soon as you can

You really should check out Day 9. He goes from newbie tips to advanced shit.

You expand whenever you can, taking into account the enemy. Is the enemy expanding? You can do it, too. Rushing? You'll die. Building tech? Maybe you can, depends on what he's doing. The game boils down to 2 things: Timing and information. Well, and your ability to macro/micro manage.

If it's worth anything, I got to Diamond when the game first started, before Master/GM. I'm pretty bad to be honest, but I at least had plenty of stuff down.

I'm just so slow with building order as well and getting stuff out,even when I think I'm doing good,the computer rushes in with 50 guys and chumps me lol.


The build orders are sooo vague I've looked at....I guess I'm just the kind of person that needs to be told exactly how to do stuff,I've always sucked with that being left to my own interpretation,etc >_>

That's one of the things. You have to be able to know what vs what, and actually predict it. You can get away with doing your own thing early, but like any other game, not learning counters early on can get you humiliated later.

You need to know the "times" in this game. How long does it take the enemy to build X building and make Y number of Z. If you know that, have information about your enemy, and time your building to counter that, you win.

Yea some pros use fucking stopwatches

well, I chumped the easy a.i. ....more than I could do before lol. Made a shitload of zerglings and roaches and just ran in his base

Ive beaten the SP on normal mode

Never played a MP game against anybody but my buddy

yeah I had no problems in the SP story,haven't played the story in the expansion yet. Heard since the expansion protoss has been over powered but idk. Been watching streams and they're hard as hell to beat if they turtle in their base and mass zealots with shield upgrade,and a shitload of voidrays upgraded lmao


edit, I expanded pretty quick when I beat the a.i.....man I had minerals coming in like crazy I didn't know what to do with lol

>_> I've gotten to where I can beat the easy a.i. in about 9 mins, get chumped by the medium a.i. though,they just insta kill my army

Damn! I came in here to make racists comments and Frost beat me to it.

I can beat the hard or very hard ai with protoss, still can't compete online.

I might install it again since I have the CDs but...the updates will still take days

I'm so terrible at starcraft.

 Most of us white folk are

I was pretty fucking terrible at it, too. I began with Brood War, and holy balls I sucked. I'm talking bronze league suck.

Then I played with some dude who handed my ass down to me, and learned. You just need to get rid of bad habits, like building shit you don't really need. Once you have the basics completely down, you get into micro and macro management. I'm pretty decent at macro, but micro not so much. After that,  it starts going down to your multi tasking capabilities, and that shit is just hard. You explore/scout enemy positions/tech/army while building your main base and probably expanding, while also building your military accordingly to counter the enemy, and don't forget to do your tech research. The skill ceiling in RTS games is retarded high because of the needed multi tasking. Couple said multitasking with the timing I mentioned, and holy balls it's a sport for the mind. On the fly decision making, planning, resource management (both economical and military), high eye-hand coordination. All at the same time.

Game is too tedious to be any fun to me at high levels

The computer can fucking school me so yeah...I fucking suck.

The game is fun for me (Brood War is better ), but at high levels it gets stressful.

The only way I could enjoy myself would be to play with some of you guys in a not so serious game.

2vs2 and 3vs3 matches are quite fun.

guess what I found out



you can download the free version from blizzard,and as long as you're playing with somebody  in a party that has the real game (me) it gives you the whole game.Even the expansion



so whenever anybody wants to download it we can play against the computer,don't think I can beat other people lol. But playing against the computer is still fun to me and practice
