I dont see why people with 140 apm think they can act as the authority on the subject. Even if apm were an accurate measure of speed, new players need to develop an understanding of the game before worrying about their mechanical skills. But let's not start this again or we'll have to phone for hot_bid | ||

Anyway, for giving some decent advice for some "SO GOSU," I got a little upset. I'm really sorry. | ||

Now all of my friends play war3, where such skills are totally and completely ignored! -_- ' The point is, that while the game may sometime seem largely based on who's mechanical skills are best when watching top level games, there are still a lot of subtleties regarding the strategical, guesswork, and timing aspects that are impossible to pick up on until you've had a lot of first hand experience. | ||

Hide your scouting worker in the opponent's base when scouting. Sometimes they won't find it and you can scout their tech more easily. If it is found, just scout normally. 2 cannons are not the end of vulture harass. Just lay a bunch of mines in the path that a defending army would take when going to the expo, and then focus fire on the cannons. Protoss players rushing to defend their expansion and probes will often be too impatient to bring an observer with their army because they want to save their probes as quickly as possible. Once you have expanded, make more production buildings than you think you need. They will come in handy if you forget to macro for a short time. Put something at every mineral area to check for hidden expos. Often people get away with hidden expansions by expanding at the not-so-obvious place, like a person starting at 9 expanding at 3 instead of 6. Do the above expansions if you think your opponent has sub-par scouting. Burrow lurkers at the top of ramps to make it practically impossible for marines to get up without tanks/irradiate. | ||

Seing as how the purpose is to kill probes. come on man, you get it. don't make a big fuss now. | ||
