Hey everyone.
I've had StarCraft for some time but I always used to be more interested in UMS maps. Fairly recently I became more interested in playing melees. One of my friends has been attempting to help me get better but to no avail.
I have difficulty with basics in the later game such as keeping worker production up, scouting, pumping units, and teching up. I seem to have issues with multitasking in generally; I can really focus on attacking, but then my production and economy dry up.
I play games with my friend, but he only manages to beat the utter shit out of me with simple strategies such as DT rushes or Reaver drops and I don't learn anything from the games I play with him.
If anyone would be willing to help, I'd be incredibly grateful.

You upload them and you share the download link.

Okay... I don't know how to upload them. I'm COMPLETELY new to this site. This is, pretty much, my first time doing anything on the site.

Check out these threads (and the links contained within them):

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=60601
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=60175

Also, begin reading up a lot of what the Strategy Forum has to offer, especially for your specific race that you've chosen to play.

For providing people with replays, first save the replay (obviously) and then upload it to one of these sites:

http://battlereports.com/

or another that other people would suggest (I can't remember the name, sorry!). Good luck on your quest to getting better!

seems you should get some basic knowledge of the game before you run and ask help in forums. Try the game manual or the single player campaign ;P

read guides in the strategy section, download some replays from good players. Save your replays and watch what you do wrong, focus on one race and learn some build orders. Play a lot with some players like you (create noobs only games on wherever you play), and remember to enjoy the game. Where do you play?

I've done that, I've beat the Original campaign, but Broodwar just can't seem to hold my attention. Not sure why...

I've done all of that. I watch commentary on YouTube and I've learned alot from those. I know what I do wrong, I focus on terran and I know build orders. I just can't do the basic stuff.

Not too sure about your problem but, again where do you play? can you beat the computer 1v1 on meele? how long do you take? At least that should give a reference.

His name says enough

If you want help, you should try the strategy section, memorize some basic BO's or give us some replays so we can givee you tips

Hope this helps

Oh and also, massplay with your friend (if he's any good he'll teach you the basics)

USEast, and I can beat a comp very easily. It can take me anywhere from 20-40 minutes if I'm not doing some sort of odd rush.

20-40 minutes vs comp... I think you should first work on that, then proceed to learn more

My problem isn't knowing stuff. I know how to play. I just can't physically or mentally do it! I can't have my attention on both my attacking group, my factories, and my worker line.

Watch replays of decent players:

Learn the basic build orders

Play against people who are slightly better than you.

Then come back and crush your friend. :p

It mostly comes with playing a lot, though if you specifically practice that it'll come faster. Might be best to practice in a no-pressure situation (not vs a person) like BlueIris's training exercise.

You guys aren't getting it. I KNOW build orders, I CAN do them. It's just everything turns to shit when I have to build my economy, an army, and attack at the same time.
