I would say best way to learn is by personal coaching by a player way better than you aside from watching VOD and liquipedia. My friend got to low D in 1 month only.
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

Are people coming to BW to help their SC2 game because they think it's easier or simpler or what? I've noticed this on iCCup and while lurking here at TL, but it never makes sense to me. At first I thought people were coming to BW because SC2 wasn't what they thought it would be. The more I see it, however, the more it seems like people are trying to develop some rudimentary abilities by playing a much harder and different game.

Edit: This is also intended as a question to the OP along with people on TL with more experience than me. Basically: why do you think playing BW is better for your skills at SC2, than just playing SC2?


I'm gonna play BW or fun. I'm just saying it MIGHT help me with SC2. BW looks like fun, so I'm want to buy it and play it for fun. Some people may be like that, not sure. I was just saying BW will probably help me in SC2.

I can reccomend the vods of the swedish guy dream, or so... he made awesome terran vods to learn. Helped me alot! He has a nice voice and shows good terran build orders with all inclusiv.

And don't expect to get out of d/d- quick^^

I don't think it will help you in SC2 at all; it's sort of like expecting playing chess to help you get better at Go (or vice versa). But I'm glad that's not your only motivation, and I hope you get as much out of BW as you aim for.
