these are my laptop specs : https://i.imgur.com/kqzMGz9.jpg
MSI GL72 6QD

My fps while i 1v1 w.e the number of units is, always above 60. But when i play 4v4 all my matches i had fps bellow 30.
I dont understand is the laptop that bad ? Or its something that i can fix on sc2.

I can play dota2 on 1080 on high , but playing sc2 in all low and 1360x768 on 4v4 and still bellow 30 fps sometimes ever 3 fps idk why. And it happens only on 4v4. I never noticed it before because i never played 4v4 before but now some friends trying sc2 and they are into 4v4 :|

Help if possible please.

Most mid-high range Laptop CPUs aren't even remotely enough to support team game late games, plus you might be thermal throttled due to overheating in team games. The SC2 engine is very poorly optimized for multi thread so nothing will fix that.

Explosions in starcraft 2 are so well made that during very large battles it eats up processing power pretty badly even for high end pcs while the game was made in 2010.

Reduce your settings to low. Even though a lot of them are mainly eating the GPU, they are mostly also CPU intensive. Select "reduce violence" to get rid of the superfluous death animations. Play in a smaller resolution than the native of your display but in fullscreen - just make sure to keep the aspect ration. Just these things can give you an order of 2-3 boost in fps for teamgames. You might find out that your laptop is too weak anyway, but it is worth trying.

i already did that except reduce violence, the game is playable perfectly in 1v1 1080p and with medium settings above 100 fps stable. But in 4v4 even with 1360x768 and all low after some point it becomes less than 30.

I will just never play again 4v4.
