I started off with a one base cheese when I first started playing starcraft 2.
I later worked on my macro game pretty seriously for a number of games doing serious 4-5 + base builds and winning a decent amount of games but not ranking up super high past silver really.
I am currently have pretty bad micro, as in I don’t divide units very well or blink very well consistently.
Other concepts I have been enlightened to hear that I am new to are hotkeys, moving units back and forth and returning small armies instead of wasting them against bigger opponents.
Once concept I discovered and practiced somewhat is effective scouting, effect proxies, but also scouting out opponents secret sister bases early on saved a good few games.
Any other competitive concepts in Starcraft 2 you would like to share? Btw, my apm is very low but am working on it gradually.
Builds themselves don’t matter as much as people think. What matters is consistency and ‘common sense’.
Common sense being making appropriate units at appropriate times. It doesn’t matter how good you are if you’re playing Terran and have massed marines and only marines all game into Colossus HT Zealot, that’s not smart and is a very easy way to loose games you shouldn’t have lost.
Lmao top topic has 2 comments in 3 days. That’s what happens when your system is designed to punish high effort. Twitch and youtube pay you for high effort and this place sends an HR lady over to your desk to lecture you that your post was “inappropriate” when the only thing you did was talk about how patent trolling affects the mobile game market. What is it that youtube and twitch get so right that places like this get so wrong? Ironically, patent trolls have a lot of behavioral overlap with moderation-trolls (people who abuse the moderation system for trolling purposes). No wonder they got triggered and spammed reports. Start of summer break historically causes social media engagement to peak for the year, and SC2’s peak is abysmally low. Oh well, RIP sc2 forums. You had a good run.
