Why dont you ask any good player (as in an sc2 player who actually wins or goes far in tournaments) if they follow and develop build orders. Maybe your one of the best of the noobs but that still makes you among the noobs. | ||

Yeah I should have clarified in my post that I'm pretty much the same way. I have a build I generally follow up to my cyber core but after that its almost completely reactionary.

If you play freestyle you will hit a dead end somewhere. You might be roflstomping noobs now because the game is new, but as things settle down, you will get crushed by almost everybody. Look at BW. You can't win games even at the D ranks if you don't have a solid BO Depends what you consider a "solid BO". I hit c- before ever looking at a concrete BO, I just knew that in zvt, get 3 hatches and make mutas->lurkers->hive...Same for other MUs, I freestyled for a long time.. | ||

But a major factor separating the good from the best is based a lot on strong and diverse openings as well as knowledge of specific timings throughout each matchup | ||

But seriously, how can you not like having everything planned out so that like 10 minutes in you've got exactly 0 gas and everything you need going perfectly? Admittedly, I haven't been able to enjoy build orders in SC2 as much as they aren't nearly as clean yet  I miss knowing 3hat spire 5 hat hydra up to 80 supply in like 3 different variations, despite being a protoss player (I had a crush on that build <3) | ||

However, if the kid gets a grasp of major fundamentals early on in life, then they will definitely develop into a beastly player as an adult. Learning how to macro well during high school, middle school, or heck even elementary school will instill a firm understanding of mechanics that will trump any theorycrafting made by any adult. | ||

It might have to do with the fact that my mom only let me play for an hour but I could browse the web for longer, so I ended up theorycrafting most of the time. edit: but since I play random I wing it anyways and this too. | ||

I've got a few build orders to open/counter specific builds based heavily on my scouting information. Once the scout(s) see what is going on from the enemy, then I try and respond accordingly. My build order doesn't really go past 21 if even that. I'm M league zerg and I'm 26 if you care. | ||

Kids tend to not have to solve real complicated problems. They mass games and hence develop their six sense. Adults don't play as much due to possibly dire consequences and thus in order to keep up, they apply logical thinking to cover for practice. I lack a lot of practice but I use mathematical analysis in order to improve my TvT economic management. I use logical reasoning to construct a new build order for TvZ (Which is in the testing phase atm) and so on. These aren't facts. Its more to an individual choice and again my reasoning of such a fact. | ||
