Thanks for doing this man. I bought this game on release and I SUCK at it. You have helped me really enjoy RTS much more. I still suck! But I am getting better at it. I am seeing the attraction to SC1 and SC2 now. Thanks!
Your videos are great, but you should really think about shortening them. You spend a lot of time repeating the same things, in this video, for example, you use 6 minutes to explain key shortcuts and shift-queuing, and I'm afraid your viewers will grow impatient. :)
I wasn't good at the first star craft. with SC2, I am actually trying to get good. Your vids, in conjunction with help from my friends who are good at SC, I am slow, but surely getting better. Thanks for taking your time to help others who don't have apm that equals 500.
Great video! Totally builds on the concepts you've been introducing in the past and is just another piece of ESSENTIAL information for beginning players like myself. Thank you!
My mind was blown by Control Groups, and while I'd LOVE to switch to Grid, I can't bring myself to abandon my "A" key for attacking. I do however have a 5 button mouse, and I have a feeling I may switch a few "unit abilities" to my mouse since that seems easier than memorizing hotkeys for specific unit abilities.
@NwebYT , I'm considering switching to grid, but I really don't like to keyboard dance with my fingers too much. I'm very much a "clicker" no matter what type of game I play. Although I'd really love if there was a hybrid between normal & grid, where you could devote a single button or key to spells/abilities. I'd love to have stimpack as a mouse button for example.
@MEMANIAsama you get used to it, i switched to grid not to long ago but if you do decide to switch to a different race for once it will help out, but i know what you mean, im not a big button person when it comes to games like this. i like using my mouse but this is SOOO much faster and probably be able to win just by using these shortcuts
Love these videos...I like watching the big games but as a player, I'll never get better watching them. These tutorials are great and there are not enough of them on the net. Thanks!
I have my building hotkeys down, have had for a while. But i sill use the mouse clicks to train units. I guess you can use this same exercise for that too!
@TheThinkingGamer love your video's I played SC1 years ago so it was awhile before I got the hang of RTS games again... I use the Grid system and the queen larva hot-key stuff all the time because of your videos. Hell I might have found Yabot because of you? I can't remember but You rock!
I still play SC1 from time to time... And I'm so used to playing with the grid key system that it always screws me up when I go back to Brood war... LOL
while I love the commentry that HD and Husky cast, as a newer SC2 player, I love the fact that TTG goes through the VERY basics of game play, I mean I haven't seen a hot keys and command groups video better then TTG's, Thanks man it's heaps appretiated, time to practice those hot keys :P
@chainerd Agreed, I watch Husky and HD videos and I wonder how the crap they can play so good. Looking at TTG I can see that its all down to the basics.
already missed you ... thank you very much for your tips ... now just need to practice ... I hope you upload more videos for us newbies ... greetings ...
Thanks.

Pressing T for attack only seems like a huge deal until you play 3 games with it. Been there and done that.
