I just want to make an epic bump and because I miss this person. Man, when are you going to bring your insightful play by play to the SC 2 scene I don't know.. but I will be waiting
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Thank you very much. You helped me finally win a game, breaking a 20+ game losing streak.

i can't help but feel that Horang2 (at least his PvP) has become solid enough that he is no longer a good example of someone who is only good at cheesing. kwanro maybe?

Honestly this needs to become something that you HAVE to read, line by line before you are allowed to post on team liquid, or at least the strategy section.

This doesn't get enough praise or attention, and is a great example of how the sc community kicks so much ass. These thoughts and strategies apply to so many things in life, It's kind of embarrassing that you can learn more about learning... from a video game forum than from 10 years of schooling.

But that's a rant for another time..



edit: Oh, it should also be requisite for sc2 forum ^_^

So much great information for younger (or older) players to ruminate over, that and this is also quite well written.

One thing i have found with SC2 that improved my play quite a bit is two things.
Constantly producing probes ans SCVs Drones are an exception. and DONT GET SUPPLY BLOCKED!! if you follow these you should see an improvment.

Lol maybe in SC2 but in BW, you should have both those mastered pretty much by d+.

Um. you say that it is easy and you should have it mastered right? So that means that you never get supply blocked and you are always producing workers right? I dont know how good a player you are but I dont think you never get supply blocked and I dont think you constanly produce workers? i am not saying you are bad or anything i am just stating that these thing take a very long time to get use to and to master, it sounds easy but when you are in the game and there is alot of stuff going on its hard to remember to do these. but if you are able to it increases your level of play by a huge amount.

true story: a while ago, i was playing a TvP vs a korean (i was around 1100 and he was 1400 or so), when around 90 food or so i had somehow gotten supply blocked. i fixed this in about 15s, but by that time his much larger army just raped mine...

so yeah most D's should not have problems with this.

yeah you are right not most D's normally wont have a problem with this. but for gold silver and bronze players, this is one of the things that they need to work on the most in order to increase their skills. Micro is nothing without a good Macro. If you dont have the economy you dont have money to produce anything and if you dont have anything you are dead.... Basically you have to walk before you run. Macro first then develope the micro skills later.

Thank you very much for this guide! I just stumbled upon it, and it does a great job explaining certain misconceptions and certain nuances and subtleties that extend to even other games. I also absolutely love the phrase to internalize patterns. It's first pattern recognition, and then internalizing it so that it becomes part of one's makeup. This applies not only to gaming, but just learning any new concept in general as well. One can say that they understand they guide, but until they make it part of their play, and internalize it, one can't say that they have truly understood the guide. Unless they don't agree with what's written Anyways, gj, and thanks again, I will recommend this to anyone looking to start at BW just like me!

this should be read by anyone that posts in the strategy forum.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

Ah I remember this being my bible of how to improve back when I started...
Still have it saved next to my Starcraft folder for reminding on the correct mind-set :3
