Play through the campaign!
It'll help familiarize you with the controls/units. It will lessen frustration. A lot. Not enough

a good idea, but unfortunately iccup install doesn't have campaign, just multiplayer :/

you could just play custom vs computer though, I guess.

hop directly onto iCCup, get beaten 100 times before taking your first win, get frustated you cant win, search for strategies on liquipedia, try to execute them, complete fail, try again, fail but this time the game lasted longer, try again, you could almost hold him, try again, you now put up a good fight, try again, you know understand the basic timings and the basic reasoning behind the build, try again and win, blog it on TL.

if you want to pick zerg, ..

Try beating 7 AI on BGH without using the worker-attack-AI-retaliate-early-on Bug.

You'll understand what macro is in a simple and subtle way :D

Here are some encouraging words: Once you're able to stand your ground in iCCup, StarCraft 2 will be much easier. So, just have fun! :3

If you find someone who's on the same level as you, immediately ask him if you two could practice together more often. It's always good to have a training partner.

Just learn to play against mech, when you get the hang of it it's quite easy against an opponent of similar ability imho.

If there is no sexy involved in a 2 gate it will fail unless your opponant is even unsexier. Any non-retard can beat a slacker 2 gate zeal~ Takes pimpin 2 gate zeal to beat gosus~ no auto micro in this game

No. I won't go into detail due to legality issues, look it up. The only thing you need an original CD key for is playing on the official Battlenet servers.

ugh yes if you have time you could have save some money to buy the sc battlechest and I can bet you it's dirt cheap and worth your money for you get some interesting booklet which specifies all the necessary information on your units and furthermore you get to play the original SC and Broodwar when you buy the starcraft battlechest in my opinion it's worth getting it rather than using the iccup version of starcraft :D and yes you get to play the campaign and watch all the cinematics being played after each mission accomplishment .

BW is like 10 bucks. Even an 8 year old could make that with his pimpin lemonade stand!

And it's definitely worth it. You're gonna be telling your grandchildren the story of BW when they ask you what's that archaic game on your shelves granpa.

I bet I will be telling my grandchildren how ridiculously easy the games they play are when compared to ancient BW. Heh. "In the good old days, you can't just right-click the auto-smart-harass button for mutalisks..."
