This is a genius idea. I'm a terran as well, and I guess I'll steal ur idea

perhaps it'll help me more with sc2, but w/e

so I'm guessing bio is pretty bad in sc1?

You'll have to get used to the more demanding mechanics but it's so much more fun once you do. There are so much stuff to do in the game that it always feels action packed. Here's a few tips:

Bind each of your base to 2 F-keys so you can tell your workers to mine and transfer them from base to base. Leave the last F-key for your rax which you should clump in a nice grid. To macro just recall that particular key and cycle through the buildings without the need of moving away from this screen. Use number hotkeys for units, comsats, and extra CCs.

Best thing about BW, even if you lose your first 300 games, you will still get addicted.

Luckily in TvZ your skills should transfer over a bit. Tank Marine Medic is standard (although pure bio is also very popular [called SKTerran]). Marine splits vs Lurkers and Darkswarm is like vs Banelings. Drops are a lot more powerful in BW that if you take out a base with 1 micro'd drop early on you are set to have a very strong lead and you can kill 50 banelings worth of units with just 2 medic, 1 firebat, 5 marine drop if you micro well enough.

TvP will be a whole new kettle of fish, but there are many styles you can play. You can play aggressive or passive depending on what style suits you. There's no sense of a ticking clock like in SC2, you can win at any stage of the game, early mid or late as long as you cost efficient with your units (and Terran in BW can be very cost-efficient).

If you want someone to practise with feel free to add me on Iccup. /f add sGs.Slugger

Enjoy the game! Practice, practice, practice and you will find it easier in the end. Terran is quite apm demanding (atleast versus Zerg if you go bio), and as you get more skilled and start playing better oponents it becomes more difficult. But stick in there and practice hotkeys and build orders, and you will have an awsome time

I've sort of done the same thing. I've been keeping up with OSL and Proleague but I've never played ladder. Im starting up the campaign again after not touching since 8th grade.

Yes because any tech outside of dragoons and zealots are capable of ripping through marines pretty badly. Reaver scarabs or psi storm = insta-death for any bio unit the terran has.

Bio is only for cheese or TvZ

Make sure to make friends with every D-/low D player that you come across. Its easier to get games if you have a full friends list.

EDIT: Also try to be manner lol. SC2 and BW are very different that way.
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

You have the right idea starting with 1rax FE. Just play it out vs the computer like 20 times until you have the build order memorized and you can do it without missing depots and stuff. The next hard step is doing it all while paying attention to your opponent, the map, and your army, all while thinking about the current state of the game and what you should be doing (this only comes with mass games and practice).

i also suggest getting some type APM alarm (I think APMAlert is one, among others, search the forum). One of the biggest differences between BW and SC2 is that in SC2, you benefit from being fast and having high APM - in BW, its a requirement. Boxing workers and spamming hotkeys at the start of the game seems stupid at first, but it gets your fingers warmed up and if you engrain that 1-2-3-4 muscle memory into you, you will have a much easier time moving your army around.

For any new-to-BW terrans, do yourself a favor and Check out Stylish'S FPVODs http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=86770 . I think they're outdated with respect to current trends in the pro scene, but just being able to watch someone play terran, explain their thought process, and give you various build orders will help alot.

Good luck! broodwar is the shit. Also switch to protoss if you get tired of getting owned, its much easier to learn.

Terran is as much the BW scum race as it is in SC2.
It's a bit of a harder game to get into, but it's definitely worth it when you do.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.
