It's only in Bulgarian but recently started doing StarCraft educational videos.
I'm trying to cover the basics one by one until it gets advanced.

There is also added documentation to each episode which links to different tutorials, videos, replays, and etc. Also invited some of the prominent Bulgarian players - old school and not so much - Beast (aka Christian), Zelias, Technics, Lamer.

However, it's in Bulgarian

Thanks for sharing! No problem, some things there you can understand from the context, way easier than Korean.

Sorry for bumping the old topic.

Any new educational videos since then? Last thing I remember were JY shows (which were awesome and in depth, but not enough of them). What about now?

It's new meta for TvZ (goliaths), ZvT - 2 hatch, ZvP 9-7-3-4, etc. Nobody explains this stuff in depth now, Korean videos are not always accessible, we don't have Day9 or JY shows anymore. I think there's still a gap for this type of content in Brood War, we have a lot of great tournaments but not much of educational videos on some specific topic. LMaster is also back, but no more educational videos for noobs. Just want to remind that demand is still there! Some people lack the game knowledge still.

Hi, i know it doesnt directly answer your question but a fun way to learn is also to find a practice partner around your level and try different builds and counters. For example if you are t, find a z, and go goliath for like 5-10games in a row (and tell the z you ll do that too) and have him try and counter it. You can discuss during or after each game too. Practicing alone/on ladder only is difficult. If you re F/E you don't need larva or action s build to counter goliath, just find whatever works for you.
Lmaster s discord can help with that.

I wish the AI was a lot better unless there's a custom map for that because they keep doing the same builds and are kinda stupid.

I am open to having an E/F player be my practice partner

Your question is mostly about this - when you eat dinner, you don't try to take the whole thing in one go and then chew it all at once, you need to take it in portion by portion and the portion need to be very small.

How do you apply that analogy to something you know nothing about and is, perhaps, too complex for you to properly segment into manageable portions on your own? I'm sure somebody has mentioned Ver's guide (sorry if I wrote the name wrong) and the other main brood war guide - you can find these guides in the strategy section. I've found them very useful for that purpose, among others.

I may be wrong but it appears you are not very familiar with deliberate practice (most people aren't). In that case, I'd suggest you to read up on it and taking it really slow. It's a huge deal if you can get yourself to do it and do it well.

Aside from t hat, amazingly useful contents from Day9 on how to improve:
-

(Newbie Tuesday: How to Learn and Improve)
-

(Day[9] Daily #309 - The Right and Wrong Way to Learn)

It really doesn't matter for what game these are, these happen to be for SC2 but it could be for command & conquer and you would find them pretty much just as useful and relevant. These are a broad sketch and practical ideas on how to improve in general.

If you watch the right and wrong way specifically, it may also be very relevant for you, since you seem to have an issue with getting confused and lost. This explains why you get confused and lost. Although, from what I recall it's a more to the learning strategy side and doing it from one, general understanding idea for match up rather than 100's of spread out strategy ideas. That one is more to the strategy side, as opposed to the deliberate practice issue.

For the deliberate practice, there's guide in the strategy section - https://tl.net/forum/brood-war/95401-guide-mindcontrol-mental-strategies-for-sc - I think you'll find it very useful in terms of how to apply deliberate practice, as ultimately, it's a pretty straightforward idea but an important one.

Overall, I'd suggest that you most definitely suffer from repeating two errors over and over that will always make you confused and lost - 1) taking on too much at once, 2) failing to take it slow at first and trying to master an element too quickly (probably way, way, way, way too quickly).

Everyone gets off track at times but often, this is a good thing. It lets you fix much more important issues than you previously thought you had.

Failures, sometimes sizable, lengthy frustrations and getting stuck are pretty much always part of the journey and I don't think there's really a point where these stop, at least that I know of. These are integral to the whole journey. Where one gets depends on how one responds and what one does with them. Good thing is, you've shown perseverance and have put some effort to seek out the help you need instead of just giving up or bashing your head against the wall, in hopes it would somehow work out eventually.

I wish you push through and have a more rewarding journey of improving after than point.
