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)

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.


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


Not for me it isn't. Top left to bottom right is FAR more natural for me than right to left.

I used top right to bottom left for a long time, i always had much higher accuracy pulling mouse towards me, maybe because i am a low sens player

Just PM if you guys would like to. I'll even go over games and give advice if I win! I think I can back up what I wrote by playing the game well enough.

As a newer player to starcraft 2 myself, I just wanted to say thank you for this. Any players who would consider themselves to be lacking in any field of this game would be absolutely foolish to not read this! Thanks again!

I want to echo what sliced_bread said. I've bumbled my way through 100+ bronze league games before reading this. What a waste. (or learning experience...).

As a terran, so far I can max out at 18 min with lots of low food marines. That would put me 120 supply (and usually 65 army supply) ahead of my opponent on games I've lost lasting that long.

Thank you x1,000

Perhaps this isn't the place, or maybe I missed it in the PDF, but when do you know your macro is ready? I've been able to not get supply blocked and keep my minerals/gas under 1,000. Obviously I continue to play easy A.I. Games just to practice and improve (my next goal is to keep under 600/600 before I max out), but I'm unsure of when I'm ready to actually play again.
