Grab a build order and learn the starting stages. Watching reps and on maps that feature similar build orders will help a ton too. In regards to strategy it's such a broad subject I suggest what was written in the previous sentence, watching tons of reps on the same map until you understand what the player of you race was going for. And also, hit up Brood War strategy forum with all your questions as it is actually quite active. | ||

You have to start somewhere and build orders even have annotations/supply count etc next to it. | ||

I'm curious because as a person who has played and watched the game for a long time, I think it is a great place to pick up some optimized build orders. Some pages are a little minimal or lacking in application/theory of build selection, or are "outdated" in the sense that those builds are less popular nowadays without that being indicated on the page. I agree with that. But to a newcomer, doing a good Siege Expand is accessible because of Liquipedia, despite it perhaps being a little less "modern" or "optimal" than an FD. People slinging their slime at Liquipedia can either be a part of the problem or a part of the solution. The choice is yours. | ||

1) Replays - this thread has pro and semi-pro games from the last few years of the Kespa era as well as high level amateur replays from the SOSPA era. 2) Afreeca FPVODS - a vod archive of recent ladder games and sponsored matches between ex-pros streamed on Afreeca for free! 3) A notepad + pen. Besides that, like people said, use the simple questions thread for questions on why you lost and perhaps join some of the lower level leagues like CPL or Rookie league (see BW tours section). | ||

Another great thing to do to learn build orders is to look at pro streams and write down what they do. Take into account what are adaptations and what is the actual build. But if you follow Flashs openings in Tvz and TvP for example you will realize you are setting yourself up for an inherent advantage over any player who is not doing an efficient build against you. Some ideas for some basic builds you can look into I think learning 5rax in Tvz is important Also learning how to set up for a mech switch, maybe doing a 4rax +1 weapons 2 port Wraiths tvz Fantasy build tvz (1 fact 1 starport into mech, building 4 vults and then into dropship, expand while you harass, defend with mines) Zerg 9pool, overpool, 12 hatch, etc. 3 hatch spire into hydras zvt 3 hatch lurkers zvt 2 hatch spire aggressive play 5hatch spire against traditional bisubuild zvp Don't know too much zvp TvP has a lot of openings 2 fact FD push Fast expand 14cc (really greedy) 1% of games you can go deep6 to keep things fresh lol Siege expand There are plenty more... | ||

Just because Flash can get away with a 14cc vs. A pool - first Zerg, you may not. Because you are not Flash. Try to use critical thinking or the search function on TL to determine what builds suit your playstyle and skill level. | ||
