My friends are trying to learn SC2, and I remember seeing a very helpful image once that I want to send them. The image was basically a black and white diagram version of the SC2 HUD, with arrows and numbers indicating where to look. 1 was the minimap, 2 was the actual game screen and then 3 was the supply/resources in the top right.

Does anyone have this image or have a short step by step list on where to look for new players? I'd give him the above, but I feel like there was a number 4 that I'm missing.

Is it just me or is it considerably more difficult to get into Diamond from platinum? I've been top 8 platinum for over a week and rank 1 multiple times. To be fair I haven't been matched up against many diamond players so maybe my MMR isn't high enough. I just want diamond before the end of they year

Hope this is the right place.

New to SC2/RTS, Wood League. Primary reason things have felt smooth/easy thus far is because I've been watching a ton of Day9's old Noobie Tuesday videos and FilterSC's Bronze to Masters series (just finished 1 through 10 and noticed he has a Zerg series so that's next.)
However, this is all old content. Obviously, a lot of the generic/basic stuff is still relevant but for more current (and Zerg-focused) strategy/tips, are there any current names in the scene? (Or old names that have a Zerg focus, as Day9 = Protoss & FilterSC = Terran)

Is there a way to easily return the workers to work after sending them to the natural to protect them from a drop? I mean, I spend some seconds telling them to go mine and then selecting three for one gas and three for the other gas... and I've tried return cargo but that leaves me with some workers idle because they have nothing to "return"... maybe it's only that I'm slow and need to work that, but there is a more efficient way?

It would seem most pros just box the entire saturation amount, then send it to one of the geysers, shift-click 3 harvesters in the selection, repeat this for the second geyser and then send the rest to the minerals, which amounts to 9 clicks. Should be fast enough when you get used to it.

After I select a group of units, how can I remove all of one unit unit type from the selection?
IE. I select 10 zealots and 5 stalkers, and I want to deselect the 5 stalkers without unselecting the zealots.

Control + shift click that type of unit.

Hi guys, I'm a Plat Protoss player on the Asia server and I only use one build (the fast 4gate with proxy 5th gate build), which is no longer proving to be very effective. I think I need to learn some other builds. Would you please suggest me a solid PvP, PvT and PvZ build to learn, so I can get my mechanics down more before I branch out further? Many thanks.

Can't help but feel I really missed something, but does burrowed lurker actually not leave a decal on the ground? If that is the case, what's the grand idea behind it? If not, how do I unfuck my graphics settings so that it becomes visible?

I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be visible. But you can see it when it shoots, so you know where it is

Is there any good LOTV equivalent to the old YABOT build order practice maps? I've come back to SC2 after over a year and a half and I want to grind out some practice games so I don't trip over myself so much. YABOT doesn't appear to have been updated since early HOTS.

There is a better equivalent to the YABOT, which is called the unranked ladder!

Not sure if you're kidding or not. I want to just do the same build over and over until I don't have to think "shit when do I make my 2nd/3rd gateway" every game. To learn stuff like that on ladder can take many hours, compared to about 20 minutes in YABOT.

When's a "standard" (i.e. sensible) time to research Burrow in ZvP (roach into hydra/lurker) and ZvT (roach/ravager or ling/bane/muta).

I'm not doing any roach burrow movement plays, just talking about getting ling burrowed to deny later bases, saving my drones/queens in case of a base trade later on, etc.

I never get this upgrade and would like to incorporate it more, but not sure how early is "too early".

Hi.

It has taken me a while to learn LotV, but right now I am improving rapidly in PvZ and PvP. PvP is (to me) very similar to HOTS, and I'm playing in mid diamond, and my control is just better than these guys. So I keep a very high winrate in that matchup. Around 80% at the moment.

PvZ is hard for me, but I've learned a new style, that I really like, and that I can improve a lot on, and which is not skillcapped.

PvT is the problem. I'm flopping around, trying random stuff, but in the end, I lose a lot of games to people I should never lose to. I do damage, outgreed, but one fight vs Libs and I can lose a fight 2-1 in cost. I try having a lot of stalkers and focus fire, but the problem with having half your army as stalkers, is the marauders crush them afterwards.

The question:

Which regular streamer is crushing PvT? I need the PtitDrogo of PvT. But who is that? Is there such a streamer. No suggestions lower than GM. I do not want to end up playing strats that have a skill sealing.
