HotS is in a really good state right now, now would actually be a good time to do builds. For example, I think between ASUS ROG and the tutorial video by PtitDrogo, there's enough to make a French PvZ guide. I might get on that, I've used it a bit, I obviously don't understand it at tournament level, but at least I know what's supposed to be going on at every stage.

So the way to fix this issue is by making another game mode named "Build Order Mode". This would be great for new players because they could learn very basic builds. Full story below-->
This would be really good for high level players too who want to learn new builds.
IMO this is the most important mode that's completely missing from SC2. It would be a huge help to people of all levels to implement something like this. Also give the option to the players to type in their own build order or import from a website or whatever and play through it.
Blizzard's partner in China, Netease, actually made a mobile app that has a lot of useful builds. You can turn on this app at the start of the match and it will reminds you when to build what. http://sc2.163.com/fg/ Weird blizzard themselves did not come up with something similar and put it ingame though. Edit: add a pic of the build order training part of the app

I find it kinda funny that their picture of an assimilator is the depleted variety.
Blizzard has already written a lot of the code for this because the user interface already exists in the game--it's how the HotS "Training" works (to try it, go to "Matchmaking" and then select the option furthest to the left). I did it a long time ago, but I think it even gave you extra alerts when you have idle workers and stuff. I'm all for this being added to the main game (maybe only in unranked) and letting users upload and select builds, ala the DotA 2 system.
Wow this has gotten a lot of positive feedback! So I took everyone's advice and make both a battlenet post and a reddit post. I hope you will support it!
Just auto-add the most common build from the latest GSL, there should be statistical tools to automate that kinda thing right? :p
edit: also I strongly agree with this, even if it's just vs AI or something. I recently found a couple of "audio builds" for a race I dont normally played and after a few tries I could almost nail a few elementary 2 base allins, which felt very rewarding.

As someone who has solid decision making, and macro/micro, the hardest part for me, especially for getting BACK into the game, is finding/coming up with a totally viable build order. When I come back to the game after long periods of time, I forget original build orders, and am not familiar with current metas. It would be so convenient for there to be an easy way to pick up recent build orders that pros have already refined, without the heavy and tedious replay analysis.
I swear this is one of the best changes they can make for keeping a large casual userbase.
Bold, italic, and underlined.
Getting back into this game is a nightmare and the biggest reason by far, at least for me, is build orders
EDIT: Just went on the Bnet post and voiced my support in a pretty lengthy response. I want this feature!
Can confirm this is a fantastic idea. Build orders make such a huge difference, and in addition to helping you learn timings they help you a lot with other skills: constantly building workers, not getting supply blocked, macro mechanics, usually scouting, and pushing.

I think we're all over the LAN thing since the chant at BlizzCon of GIVE US LAN! GIVE US LAN! when that one team league or GSL finals didn't go over well.

prime vs startale never forget
Indeed, indeed.
One of the funniest moments in eSports I've ever witnessed that's for sure.
Imagine you are a newbie and want to play this strategy game. Then you see, that there is this BO thing which asks you to play for the next minutes as the computer asks you. Do you feel like an actual player, or like a robot?
