Ok I just kind of quickly read over some topics that really interested me the most ( i will read the entire thing tonight, don't worry ) and it looks great. Little problem at the end of chapter 5.02 though:

"Kiting is the act of shooting, retreating a short distance, firing, and repeating. Go ahead and and visit
youtube.com and type in the search bar "SC2 kiting". The first good result I found was this link:
<blank line, no link>"

I wonder if this is only me or if it is the actual guide :/ may have to check on that. Despite the small significance it's still necessary, I assume.

Keep up the great work!
Love from The Netherlands

Hmm, I have never thought about my goal for Starcraft. But reading this, figuring out a goal might give me some diligence and determination to actually reach it. Thank you Cecil! I will read on and strive to get better!
Live life to the fullest.

Updated a whole lot of sections, and added in a new one about having a positive mindset! Hope you all enjoy the changes and updates

I'd suggest taking some time to just re-read the whole thing.

This looks really interesting, I feel that improving efficiently isn't an aspect of the game that's looked at nearly enough. Great job!

Dragging your cursor from the top left to the bottom right is the
absolute best way to create a box for everyone but the professionals.
Would you mind elaborating on why it's not the best for professional SC2 players to box from top left to bottom right and what the best method is? (I'm guessing it's top right to bottom left from streams)
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

For right hand it's best to go from top left to bottom right.

It's also very useful to be able to box in any direction on the fly, but that skill isn't useful to work on until you get really good.

Not only does a North American master's player have the expertise to instruct other people about the game, but his guide is apparently The way to improve, and applies to everyone.

Yes, as it turns out, someone who is good at something usually has the expertise to instruct someone who is significantly worse.

I don't get that. Top right to bottom left is a much more natural movement (with the right hand).
