Posted via RS Mobile | dont tech too early, most newbs try to do that. u cant mass just one unit, even if its a tier 3 unit.
never have a lot of money in the bank unless you're protoss and you plan to warp in and entire fucking army (make sure u have enough warpgates to keep up or enough probes! LOL)
scout... scuot scout... if they're going early tech, counter it. if they're massing ground units, counter it.
u cant just stick with "one" plan.
don't suck.
win.

Key thing in this game (this shit is important and if you want to win or get better)
- Scouting : know wtf there going !! its easy to tell what there going or plan to go by there building set up (ex. if they have 2 gas factories early game. expect them to have less grunt units like marines etc, there most liekly going to go units such as tanks and shit... )
- Expand : always makes expansions!
- Use choke points/hills : this can make the difference between winning and losing. (ex. 2 armies that are identical fight on a hill/choke area, whoever that is on the top of the hill/choke has a BIG advantage)
-Watch your replays!: learn from people who pwn your ass and learn from wtf you did wrong.
- Use the help menu in game: If you dont know whats good agianst what, click on the help menu top left during the game. It branches out and gives you a review of all the units/buildings. Gives you info like this unit is weak/strong agianst this and this...

I only played 2 games so far, and they were the ubern00b 1v1 first-steppes level. Both times I played random and got terran and played against zerg. Both times I got air pwned; I tried to counter the second time with vikings and battlecruisers but as soon as I beat off (shut it) my attackers and pursued to their base, there were more opposing units than I had expected.
I know I'm a n00b and haven't got ahold of the new tech trees and all that, but...I still feel like I'm more of a retard than I should be given that I didn't suck completely at SC1. Posted via RS Mobile | |

yeah watch your replays
so many times im like "wow if i attacked him now i woulda won" or vice versa
its cuz we didnt scout properly
or i beat 2 of his bases and im like.. uhhhh didnt know he had a 3rd and we were both raping each other's bases but cuz he had a 3rd i lost.
protoss dont need to expand too early unless u n eed a shit load of gas.
ive beaten many people that have 2 bases and i only have 1. as long as u keep pounding them and they keep wasting minerals replacing buildings and units u will win.
scout. build units that counter his units.
see them go roaches, go a few z's couple stalkers/sentries and go immortals
immortals are strong. i usually go early void ray. just 1 or even 2 can change the tide of battle.
u send a small army to the front fuck their army up a little while 2 void rays and a warp prism warps in zome zealots in the back
once u have the advantage its easy. cuz u can slowly tech while he's trying to make an army.
once u get DT's it can be game over if he's dumb and has few or little detectors.
i have the most trouble vs terran if they mass M&M's.
cant do jack shit  i'd go psystorm but by the time that happens i already have a shit laod of them raping my probes.
