I have a question, I keep hearing ppl say "the meta game" I'd like a definition of that plz, I'm kind of clueless, it sounds like a game within a game or like many games together, i don't see the meaning. ty


In starcraft the term metagame is usually just used to describe how strategies and play styles develop over time.


Metagame is actually a game theory (branch of mathematics / economics) term.

It refers to an agents use of information not revealed in the game itself as part of their information set. For instance, there may be a tendency for protoss to 4 gate, so you incorporate this into your decision making without actually scouting this within the game itself.

This is the meaning of the term meta game, im sure you could wikipedia it for a better one though.

What league are you in?
Not because I want to be ass just because it does kinda matter.
First thing for good APM is using the keyboard for everything and not clicking buttons, then you need to use hotkey as much as possible and double-tap them to switch the screen around instead of scrolling. Ofc you might already know that. -_-


I'm in Platinum, could be in diamond with Terran but I just don't want to play them anymore after experiencing Zerg. Those are good ideas, I knew about them I just need to force myself to use them all the time. I don't have every keybind down so that's a good idea. I'm great with my opening, I get 14 gas 14 pool and get speed early, I'm pretty good with drone timing and scouting as well as keeping my overlords pumping.

The problem comes during the transition from early game to mid game. I get overwhelmed with the amount of stuff to keep track of i.e. mini map, scouting, injecting, building etc.. and I feel like my hands just won't move fast enough for the amount that needs to be done. Which is why I think I need some exercises that I can practice against an easy ai just to get my speed up. How on earth are people getting 300 APM is sort of my question. I don't know what to do.

How are people buildings several buildings at once with several workers in under a second? Clicking one, then building something, then clicking another and building something else takes forever for me. Is there some hotkey secret I'm missing...not to mention they do this during huge battles.

ok, more questions about hatch first: say i hatch on 15, when do i get my pool? 14? 15? when do i gas assuming i want lair sort of quick?

edit: also, why do so few terrans (i'm ~1k diamond) get the extra range for turrets and/or the building armor? as a zerg it seems to shut down muta harass PRETTY hard, and you're gonna have an e-bay anyway.

Hey, wondering if somebody can help me out? I'm trying to learn my buddy how to play. He favors Protoss, and that's pretty cool. Problem is, I'm not as good at Protoss as I am at the other 2 Races. He prefers going 2-Gate Robo more then anything else, so here's my question:

Who would I search for in replays for some good Robo play? I know NonY does Phoenix's, so he's out. TesteR does Robo, right? He wants to start playing vs players, so I figured I would should him some stuff he can "copy" and not suck horribly.

YouTube / video links would help, as well.

It is becoming more and more common that Protoss are using Robos. Based on the current trends, you can pretty much see any player using them a lot.

Can someone tell me how to make the camera follow a unit in the replay viewer? I've looked all over the SC2 options menus to try and figure it out, and also searched on google. I've also tried hitting random keys on my keyboard to find the hotkey but I haven't been able to find it >.<


if you click and hold on the unit portrait it will follow a unit, this also works in game. As far as I know there is no toggle for following a unit so you gotta hold mouse 1 down



Not true, just do ctrl+f or ctrl+shift+f
All it takes to fly is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Why do me and my 2v2 partner (we are in bronze) consistently play against platinum and even diamond people sometimes? Sure, we are not at a bronze skill level, but we did not sandbag, we were placed there. If we are deemed good enough to play against them, why not promote us?

FishFuzz99, you get promoted after they know what league you are in. That can take 50 games if oyu are unlucky. Basically they check against which skillrange of players you lose and win 50:50 and then promote you to the league those players are in.

Now a small strategy question from me regarding ZvZ.
I almost always go linb/baneling/muta in ZvZ, because of the speed and because I felt like it was general consensus that it is the stronger mid game army. I have lost a few games against roach hydra combined with a few sporecrawlers now and wonder if roach hydra might not be the better choice. So what are the pro and cons for each army composition ?

Menu>options>gamepaly>blood. Other than that there is no option but maybe turning every graphics option down.
