Very helpful and thought out list! Thanks for this!

64. Overestimating what enemy has or underestimating what you have. It was on a day[9] XP
and these would help so much in team games if everyone did them XD

Considering us bronzers/silvers, these are core issues that comes from lack of confidence in keys and focus. Like clickign 5 [cc] and z [scan, grid] when your units getting crushed by cloaked units.
For me, beeing pretty low myself, these issues isn't something I should focus on since my core is lacking pretty good and starting to focus on the army, then injecting, then making, then expanding, then thinking of rally poitns, then checking if I am holding towers, checking minimap, spreading creep, checking composition of enemy etc etc etc is way to much when I am struggling to make drones and spraying larva once a minute [40 sec for ideal].

But sure, if I managed all these 60, I'd be in master

Great list. I also like the comments that say to produce workers nonstop and keep money low. If you can find ways to do those two things your play will improve immensely!

Another major thing is devoting the majority of their time and attention to a cutesy tactic like a drop or blink micro when they are much better off 1-Aing and going back to base to focus on macro. Often they will try something like multi drop harass while their money gets to 3000/2000 and wonder why they just get steamrolled even though they are using such clever tactics.

Yet another thing is never even thinking of attacking, ever until they have a maxed army.

A good thing for new players (i did this in the beginning and it really helped) to avoid the first of these problems is to never look at the battles. just tell the army to attack via the minimap and keep macroing at your base. it really gets you in the mindset of what your top priority is and in bronze you'd be amazed how easy it is to win doing this. 100% of your attention should be focused on improving your macro in bronze and you will be promoted in no time.


You just described me playing SC1 for 5 years.

I've grown up a lot in SC2 and can manage my harassment by flashing back to it at key points- but LOL man.

This list also had me rolling. Thanks for the chuckles man.

Good list! It is a good sign that you can recognize errors like these. Correcting things like this will improve your game. However, I think that in order to set yourself on a steady path to diamond+, you should focus on more general concepts. Much like forgetting macro when you're trying to execute perfect stutter-step micro, attributing losses to specific tactical errors can leave you overwhelmed when you try to correct them in subsequent games. I watched Day9 coaching DJWheat for a while and loved his suggestions about multitasking and keeping money low. Constantly checking/preparing for your next move will pay dividends forever.

90% of these mistakes matter for masters but they really don't matter for anyone under diamond at all.

Haven't read through the whole list, but all things I read have been right on, it's a good list for starters to look after

23. Sending in your rushed single trophy unit (colossi, bc), with little to no support


Ok, now this one you even see professional gamers do...welcome to PvT 2 gate robo expo colossus-tech

Maybe change the title and try to get up to 100?

While everything on this list is quite sensible, I think it's very bad advice for bronze level players. If you're new to the game, you absolutely should try to focus on the very basics and just learn to properly execute one simple build order. By giving bronze players more than 60 things to look out for, you've made sure that they try to do way too many things at once and never learn how to do any one thing properly.
Here's a much better and much shorter list:
1. Not having a solid build order
2. Clicking icons instead of using hotkeys
3. Not hotkeying your units and production buildings
4. Getting supply blocked
5. Not constantly producing units and workers

64. making lists of most common 1 v 1 mistakes

seriously these things come only through practice, you are almost always going to forget something if you are not practicing enough

For a bronze/silver, a solid build order will not work. It's ok to have an overall strategy, but forcing to much on the buildorder removes the thought behind the action and why it's like that. On my level, it's not the build order that wins or loses a game, it's the lack of mechanics and stuff.
I also think you should include:
6. Watching battles.

By watching your battle, you lose all focus and go back to the attitude when spectating a game/watching a tournament and letting things flow on it's own.

I agree totally with not needing a worked out build order. If you follow a script, then you are making assumptions about the opponent. No bronze has 3+ different build orders memorized depending on what they see at the opponents base. If they have just one they stick to, then it is a weakness not a strength.

ok the only build order that might be worth practice is the most "normal" one: for T, after the obligatory "gl hf", then supply and barracks, send out scv, block ramp, get orbital, gas, factory and starport smoothly..

I have two friends in Bronze who I'm trying to get better at the game...honestly I don't know what to tell them. Right now I'm just observing them playing vs the AI and shouting at them over a headset.

'Ok expand. Expand. Please expand. Come on dude expo. Take a probe. Press b, n, click in your natural. Fucking...do it. You're not doing anything else. I can see your APM, it's 0. Just press the buttons. Why is this taking so long? Seriously dude what the fuck are you doing, wanking?'

I find a few of there tips hilarious because I see so many diamond and sometimes even masters players not doing them. Still a decent read though, but what people said about the length is true, new players need a few things to focus on when view get started not a list of 60
