I've always wondered why with the advent of video sites like youtube, there has been a lack of video tutorials for starcraft. I've set about to rectify this problem.

The Starcraft community is a very elitest community that is very difficult to break into for new players. As it has been around for a long time, there are many nuances that everyone is expected to know. Therefore, there are no resources on how to learn these techniques and often they are difficult to find out by ones' own accord.

The Essentials aims at showing off these simple yet vital techniques and their application in real game situations. Every video that I will upload will show off something that you can immediately use to improve your game.


Latest Video: Stacking Air Units

I'll try to keep on releasing these videos on a somewhat consistent basis. I'll update the OP whenever a new video is ready and uploaded. My youtube profile page can be found at:

Any comments, suggestions and criticisms are appreciated.

wow ive watched some of these, pretty good!
might want to add on the lurker one if you have spare time to point out holding with ovies or anything works as well, not just attacking things under fog of war

I don't have much experience with muta micro so I'm not sure if they are done the same way

Ive seen the first two on youtube and know the othes. Also nada has a better vid for patrol move. Gj posting here, more people will see it.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Very nice project. Good job

I think a simple one you can show is the moving drop. You used it in the zeal bombing video but didn't explain it, and something like that deserves it's own video

You have a very sexy accent. Even though you're a guy.

Just wanted to point that out. Australian accents are so hot. Even IF you are a guy.

And good videos, I suppose.

They're different

Mutalisk micro is order them to move behind the target, and then when they move into range you order them to attack that unit. Once you see the glaives flying move away and repeat.

Mutalisk vs Scourge or Wraith vs Scourge is pretty simple. Clump your units together (helps if you have Overlord with Mutalisks) and when the Scourge get into firing range, press patrol right on top of your Mutalisks and move away quickly. If done right, the Mutalisks will fire a glaive backward, bouncing and killing multiple Scourge and will move away to cause more trouble.

Great Videos. It would be great if more people who knew all the little tricks would make videos explaining how to do them. Much nicer than trying to interpret what somebody typed out.
Thank you!
