Scan all the flanks, if you miss something, send a few vultures there + mines. Then, go with tanks to your opponnent, and meanwhile mine the flanks with the vultures (it would be great if your tanks are hugging a cliff or a zoned out space where you're 100% sure there's no protoss units). If you're afraid of a front attack just keep scanning ahead or send 1-2-3 vultures ahead to scout. When you see his army is relatively close but not engaging, siege several tanks and keep advancing. If you think he's going to attack (usually either when you're going out of your natural or you backed him in a corner/good flanking position, or he's trying to prevent you from obtaining a good position), siege everything up and mine the front, but don't keep the vultures too forward (unless you're playing the heavy vulture low tank style). It basically all depends on his army composition, the ratio of zealots and dragoons (and ht). More zealots -> more vultures. More dragoons -> more tanks. More ht -> more vultures usually. Remember, scans are your friend. At your level you probably won't be using them for other things anyway. If you don't have scans, just send 2x6 vultures to the flanks and place mines there so you'll know where his army is, then push out. | ||

 The best thing to do in the beginning is to pick the most basic strat in a MU and practice until you feel like you understand all of it and you're just missing APM and decision making to win. Then it's easier to learn other builds and understand how they work and why. Good luck. | ||

Should I play on iCCUP or is there a better place to play? I remember playing in iccup back in the day, so I was wondering if that's still being used primarily or what. | ||

Then once you reach C+/B-, then start playing on the Korean Fish server. I have yet to get to that point. | ||

So every time you get cheesed you learn how to defend it, and every cheese after that should become a sure win. edit: better grammar | ||

Not sure I can get used to only 12(?) units at a time, especially if I go zerg or something. How do I work hotkeys in this scenario? I'm thinking of going either Z or T, can't decide. | ||
