Introduction: DexVitalitY's Starcraft 2 Tip of the Day #1
DexVitalitY’s Starcraft 2 Tip of the Day

http://dexvitality.blogspot.com/

So I thought if I were to start writing some daily stuff to help everyone who even takes the time to read my blog to (in the words of Day9) Be a Better Gamer.

The tips will range from really simple things to slightly more advance macro/micro tips.

You may think to yourself, don’t be stupid Dex, I know your tip of the day. And in response I will say this: You will be amazed at how many people know about the game of Starcraft 2, but the application of this knowledge is what sets the difference between a Bronze and a Silver and a Silver from a Gold etc...

A little bit about me and Starcraft 2.

For me I am a Masters - level Team player and (at the moment) only a Diamond player (Masters no problem, I just need some time to grind out some ladder games). Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself:
I was within the first 50 people to make it to Masters 2s 3s and 4s in SEA. Former Top5 in 2s, Top25 in 3s, and Top20 in 4s.

______________________________________________________

Alright, with all of this out of the way lets get on with the Tip of the Day #1

Tip #1

Workers - Probes, Drones, and SCVs

Starcraft 2 is all about managing an economy and workers are the central core. The workers are the most important unit in the game.

the GOLDEN RULE:

Always, always, always be making workers. For everyone who is having trouble moving up the ranks of what is the Starcraft 2 Ladder. You need to make into a habit, constantly making workers, you will find that this will open up possibilities you may have never imagined possible.

If you already know this and have a habit of constantly making workers? Here is the next step.

As you play more you will get a feel for when you will stop making workers, when you have a good amount. Find this point in the game and try to make it consistent.

Example.

For me when I play 1v1, my main race is Protoss. And I will be constantly making probes up until just a few minutes after I get my 3rd base up. I have found through practice that my worker count will always hover between 74 and 75 probes, not more, not less.


______________________________________________________
All other Tips of the days will vary in range, today as it is the first one it will be slightly longer. I hope you enjoyed!

Check me out on Twitter if you like! @DexVitalitY
