Now with benchmarks I don't even have to analyze replays for a while. Just look at the different minutes at my scv count/army supply and I know why I lost  I love that SC2 on a casual level is actually as simple as that. I wished there was these benchmarks much earlier after SC2 release. This tutorial series is the best one for casuals/low leaguers like myself. Suddenly I'm not even stressed on ladder. I just look at my supply count at different minutes and I know if this is going to go well or if I'm gonna lose I can't wait to see the plat and diamond replay packs coming out. | ||

I've done it, but I haven't gotten it consistently yet; more often, I max at 14:10 to 14:20, but if you're really crisp, you should be able to do it, or at least come really close to it. | ||

Obviously if Filter can hit it, it is possible, so Filter, have you hit it? Never hit it in a real game, come really close though (and those games are walkovers). That particular benchmark is designed to be extremely difficult to hit. I kind of figure the higher you aim... the better off you are. If you max at 14:30, or have 175 food despite a big fight earlier at 14:00 you know you're in a really good position. I rarely max out at all in my games though because I like to play extremely aggressively from the time I attack (usually around 11 minutes TvZ, 8 minutes TvP (Using LastShadows build atm, and tvt whenever he's out of position) on through to the end. | ||

http://drop.sc/174753 I am still trying to get the bronze/silver/gold down so expanding is awkward for me to 3rd base and I rack up alot of minerals. But I think I managed his harrass decent, and his tank rush pretty decent, pushed him back and my macro apparently was way better then his. all he had was +1 on vehicles and infantry, i was working on +2 and had c-shields conc shot and stim. man these are awesome videos and the filtersc custom game is a great help too. although now im getting so caught up in macroing I forget to attack haha well i just played a plat player (he lied and said he was bronze!) http://drop.sc/174759 Thanks Filter!!!! | ||

After a few days of really boring custom games with focus on the benchmarks i went back to ladder and had a great win streak which brought me to top 8 gold. YAAYY hope i can keep that up as i'm really feeling uncomfortable when not playing a few days. What always bugs me out on the ladder is that you get gold/plat-players which really suck and suddenly there is a bronze/silver player you lose horribly to without doing something obviously wrong. Ok, rerollers, 2nd account-players.. i know, i know and if you check match history or career there are plenty of them. But that makes it quite hard to predict who you will face in the next game (where im favored or even) and to raise on the ladder. and it really bumps my confidence back when i lose to a player from a lower league. Ok that was offtopic  Sorry.What i wanted to say is that this is the best guide i've read and watched up to now (and ive read/watched many ). So simple, clear an adaptable. Thank you! Just great! | ||

Here's a benchmarking game I played against the AI where I hit 200/200 at 14min doing a 1 rax expand. I don't play terran and I've only seen parts of Filter's VODs so it's not a verbatim build order. In a real game I'd probably max at the 14:30-15:00 mark assuming minimal losses, and I could've probably maxed slightly faster (13:30-13:45) if I had avoided supply blocks/had more rax.
