[killerboy4441]

[Badhabitsjay]

@killerboy4441 Sorry to out grammar nazi you but colossuses is in fact a perfectly fine plural for colossus. He did however spell it incorrectly.

Bro.

[Tobi9the9random]

Not trying to be mean but you leave way too much guess work.

[Jay57366]

[TheJCwarlord]

They shuld teach tis at school.it wuld be more intresting and we wuld actully learn something helpful.

[ShadewraithX]

This video is great. I'm just starting out in the Starcraft universe and multiplayer scares the crap out of me. Gonna be studying your guides all weekend!

[jlkos]

The zerg build suck!!!!

[671lattestone]

thanks for explaining this thoroughly

[mrgod499]

5:07 "Now what I like to do as soon as my first pylon goes down is I'll pump out a few scvs and use chrono boost on them."

LOL

[BillYiOn1]

SO YOU'RE ORB!! XD XD XD 

[Hamzer4321]

Thanks 4 the tips. I'm new to starcraft and all rts games, (I only have 2 starcraft 2 and warcraft 3) I always get my ass handed to me in online.

[jordonvh91]

Terran is nice to learn on in my opinion for the main reason that the building names sound like what they actually are. Barracks make infantry units...who would have thunk it. I mainly play protoss and terran

[flikka1985]

omg ive been patching sc2 for like 30min now when does it stop lol?

[kanesizer9]

I turned video off at 4:00... Terran is for real men. Protos and Zerg are for baby men who don't know how to play.

[thegreatninjaman]

@kanesizer9 what the hell you talking about, terran are easy to play. zerg is by far the hardest to play

[SuperDumbCow]

@thegreatninjaman I totally agree, zerg is the most difficult race to play. Thats why I play terran, people who says otherwise are just stupid, don't listen to people like him :)

[WoWStenberg]

@kanesizer9 That was the dumbest commen´t I have seen in a while.

[WoWStenberg]

@WoWStenberg comment* lol

[kanesizer9]

@WoWStenberg That was the truest comment I have seen in a while.

*Fixed

[WoWStenberg]

@kanesizer9 Please, explain why!

[rendros88]

@kanesizer9 You are either a troll or a bad sc2 player.

[kanesizer9]

@rendros88 Nah, you're just jelly cause terran is the only non-suckish class!

[rendros88]

@kanesizer9 class? You are one of them WoW fan boy SC2 trolls, eh? Pretty dumb people.

[ding1500]

For zerg... after you build the extractor (9/10), then your new drone comes out (10/10). Why not just cancel the extractor? (11/10)

[MucMonsta]

one question. when should i build my second refinery? thanks.

[MucMonsta]

thank's man, your alot of help.

[PhaboiakaDaartist]

thanx



[Cra5hnatural]

I never had a good relation ship with multiple unit strategy games....But since i tend to get disappointed by the gameplay, updates blah blah. i think i a gonna turn into this type of games...btw nc video it quite a good guide.

[J4ke483]

Thanks man I'm a noob and found this video really useful :)

[CvijaFaQ]

New player here, can't you just block off the ramp using a sentry by casting Force Field and having a couple of Stalkers for ranged support?

[LastForReeses]

how you play against computer with only 1vs1? I can't find out how to so can anyone help?

[0DarkVader0]

DO U HAVE TO PAY EVERY MONTH OR JUST ONCE AND ITS FREE TO PLAY ONLINE. CAN PLZ SOMEONE MESSAGE ME

[xmetacorx]

@0DarkVader0 You buy the game starcraft 2 one time, and you're able to play online for as long as you have internet.

[Comblit]

I am kind of a noob but I find the best way to expand is build a command center in your base and fly it to where you want to expand.

[FS11111]

hmm.. probably its just me but i would prefer to send out a scout much earlier, one of the starting workers just as the first worker is being completed. more chance of slipping through wall ins and force the enemy of either defending the harass or looking at their build.

[kapoo18]

zel-it

[XmissingmanX]

with protoss how do u send probe to go make something then while hes going to do that make him come back and get more minerals or make another building after hes done his first objective or w/e?

[GROGOLOG]

@XmissingmanX protoss can build structures without a probe being at the building, once they are started they build themselves essentially

[smokengunz1]

Why do you put all your builds spread throughout your main? I always see players bunch their build up around their base.

[MrCoyConrad]

Thanks for explaining this I just got the game yesterday and I found it kind of stressful with all that stuff going on but it makes more sense now ... Keep up the good work

[spirosalamanos]

Thank soooo much!!!! Helped me a lot.....i was loosing from Hard Ai but now they are too easy with your Guide!!!! Thank so much!!!

[Raptor18able]

so wat is good build orders for zerg? new to starcraft 2 finished the single player i am now playing against the ai to practice some help would be nice

[reloocoo]

@Raptor18able That depends on what u want to do. If u want to face a more macro intensive game then u should do a 14 hatch or a 14 gas 14 pool. But if u want a more agressive game maybe a 10 or 12 pool would be nice. But remember that the zerg are kind of a reaccionary race, we have to adapt to the other players and counter them. It's fundamental u always scout, either with a overload, drone or changeling.

Hope it's helpful :)

[Raptor18able]

@reloocoo its helped a little bit working on my build order and micro/macra right now which one do u perferre?

the aggressive or macro intensive

[12345678910bas]

I've seen several videos where one SCV keeps building supply depo's around the base, without clicking on it every time.. could someone please tell me how to do this?

[reloocoo]

@12345678910bas Well, if you hold shift on the keyboard u can put a lot of supply depots on a row if thats what u mean.

hope its helpfull ^^

[left4pivot]

Is starcraft 2 a free game? Where do you get it? Is it worth the money (If it's not free)?

Someone please answer. Thank you. (Don't be a dick about it like "OMG UR SUCH A N00B.")

[spirosalamanos]

@left4pivot Its not free and many gaming sites voted for it as the best game of 2010.So its worth buying it...

[reloocoo]

@left4pivot You really won't regret buying it.

[IceNineX]

@left4pivot StarCraft 2 took 100 million dollars to make. Would it really be free?

[BloodkillMajere]

@left4pivot Google is your friend

[yolkjj]

supply depots go down at 10 for standard build orders =P

[deathray797]

just one thing i felt like i should mention: when u get to 15 supply as terran, you only get the supply depot if ur a lower level player and feel like you need to wall in in case of a rush. generally, at 15 you wait until your racks is done and right when it finishes you should have 200 minerals, just enough for the orbital command and a marine. then u finish the wall in with the next 100 minerals.

[Callanizy]

Your voice is better than drugs :>

[TheClapid]

Wow the way you said zealot...

[warhamer]

for toss vs toss i dont recommand 1 warpgate and then cybercore. get 12 or 13/18 a gate make 2 probes and make another one with that make 4+ zealot for defence or if u want to attack and hit his economie then go with 3. but dont send after it it got 1 purpose destory his economie at least that is what i recommand also u save time if u build close to your base if u not vs zerg but keep scouting against rushes like cannons u will be able to hold cause u get stalker and zealot/immotals fast enough

[IcomLOL]

This Guide made me starting to play SC II

[destyrian]

As a Protoss player, I'm always nervous or a reaper rush. How can i protect myself vs a potential reaper rush without slamming down a Forge and photon cannons? This puts me in a bad position if they don't use reapers, but if they do and I don't build cannons, I find that my army can't catch them and they can roam around in my base killing all of my probes, loling at my slow zealots...

[hokns]

@destyrian Its always useful to get an early stalker when you're facing a terran opponent as Protoss. Even before the patch you could get a stalker relatively easily before they get their first reaper in your mineral line but now since the rax is delayed even more it should be even easier - Stalker > Reaper

[destyrian]

@hokns Yeah makes sense, thanks. The problem is really cliff jumping, you never know where reapers will come in to your base. They normally go straight for the resource line though, so I could post a couple of stalkers there. Thanks

[M16A1srawesome]

@destyrian Fast stalker, stalkers can kill as many reapers that they throw at you.

[RaDleySkidbeater]

a good tip is build a protoss maze at the choke point putting two gate ways in the front and have 1 space going down so u can have zelots and build cannons behind 

[smithcm14]

Impressive! This is a great (expert approvable) guide for beginners.

[mikejclark]

Thinkn about buying this but question. SC1 runs fine on my PC but does SC2 demand a much better system? I have a Toshiba Satelite Si1 with 4gs of RAM and its like a geforce 8600 x2 cards. I do have frame rate issues with games like Crysis and games at super high settings.

games like World of Warcraft run with 0 issues at all.

Should I see any issues?

[L33tWaffer]

@mikejclark probably not, but u might not be playing on the highest graphic settings. If u do, u might see slowdown, but generally u should be fine.

[MEMANIAsama]

Did you have times to 2v2 with your friend?

[stenchweasel]

Your Zerg build is terribad. I think you were trying to do the extractor trick but failed.

Just go:

9 Overlord

14 Extractor

14 Spawning Pool

16 Overlord

16 Queen

18 Metabolic Boost

Depending on what you want to do once u have started your metabolic boost you can either take or leave your drones in gas. Don't forget to scout early 10-13ish IMHO

[gene4everXD]

5:11 - 5:12 - SCV's? XD isnt it probes

[RoryRemele]

check out this vid, tutorials on how to become a better sc2 player with strategies and build orders - youtube.com/watch?v=SNMAYSP8ze­0

[DerOrk]

a girl playing Starcraft? wohoo

[eyeballear]

I wish he didn'tt smack and slurp spit around the whole time hes talking....

[Shout4meh]

i see a problem with this though... a good zerg will rush you before u can make a zealot

[tuuskee]

by the way, i've heard through supposed fact that the extractor trick actually puts you below optimal resource gathering, of course i havent tested it myself but you can do ur own number crunching and digging ^^ just food for thought.

[Vid00]

@tuuskee

It's only a temporary thing until your overlord comes out. It helps you get 1-2 extra drones out while just waiting on the overlord to spawn. It's especially useful when you realize that you are supply capped and forgot to create an overlord earlier.

[McJellow]

Do they have FMP in SC2 ? I loved it in the first SC and owned at it :)

[Mrextremeo]

can u do co-op like with a person next to u?

[Shout4meh]

@Mrextremeo do you mean a 2vs2 battle? then yes you can play teams

[Mrextremeo]

@Shout4meh no like with ur bro right next to u thats wat i mean can u do that?

[Conquerorehe315]

will you beat the campaign on hard for me so i can get the kerrigan portrait? lol

[pulesekk]

I do appreciate the videos, but your cottonmouth swallowing really creeps me out!

[blitzac2005]

4:17 – Protoss

8:01 - Zerg

[bearclawsix6]

I haven't bought SC2 yet, but I did find your video informative. I'm not exactly the best RTS player and I prefer to play with friends, but I'll definitely keep this video for reference until I pick up on the nuances of early game.

[PicklesRTasty]

Wow, you have the Kerrigan profile portrait. I love you.

[Zenn3k]

I don't like your zerg build order much. I think its better personally to go 10/10 - Spawning Pool, 10/10 Overlord/Overlord/Extractor, you should have enough to Queen right as the pool finishes, and then you go do whatever from there.

[theescrappy1]

@Zenn3k well it all depends on what u r goin for. if you want speedlings ur going to need gas especially for the banneling/speedling combo against terran.

[pxxner]

It is more efficient (in terms of larva management) to get an overlord at 9 supply.

[Makaroniveli]

This is the same thing i read in the strategy guide, but being a newb, I didn't understand it. After watching it visually it really helped, thank you !

[sherbearington]

I love your videos!! I'm new to Starcraft and they've been helping me out tremendously :D

[D34tho]

Thanks a lot! , your videos are too good they helped me a lot :D

[zAkAtAkx]

Overlord before gas. :) It allows you to get more drones out quicker.

[karavatas]

thanks for the tips

[Traynor106]

When is the ideal time to expand, is there a time or a supply number should be doing it at, or as soon as you have the extra minerals with steady income?

[TheThinkingGamer]

@Traynor106 Good Question!

The best time to expand depends on many factors. Generally speaking Zerg should be expanding much sooner than protoss or terran.

One of the best times to expand is while attacking your opponents base. If you can manage to keep your opponent contained you can expand with near immunity.

[Makboub]

@TheThinkingGamer Imo it's actually better to expand just BEFORE you attack your opponent. I've found that if my attack is successfull in crippling either his economy or his army, i can finish building my expansion in peace while focusing on keeping up the pressure. And if my attack fails, well i can always cancel the exp and put the ressources into units.

[destyrian]

@Traynor106 You'll also want to make sure you have at least a few units to protect yourself, but try not to expand after you already have a large army. When I play zerg I can usually expand within the first 5 minutes, but it's very risky. (but worth the risk potentially with all that extra income) Bottom line is to balance between your army and econamy. make sure you can afford to expand, and then do it.

[destyrian]

@Traynor106 Of course when I said "try not to expand after you already have a large army" i meant that you should try to expand before that. You should obviously expand after you have a large army also, but I meant that the first expansion shouldn't be made when you are running out of resources at the first or have spent every penny on your army (unless you intend to rush)

[MuTeXSc2]

@Traynor106 i use a build where i go 14pool, into extremely early 16expansion. Its extremely based on economy, but its the safest thing to do. especially on maps like blistering sands and jungle basin where you have sneaky ways to get into to ur opponents base through the back door.

[Fouge642]

Zealot can be pronounced ZEE-lot or Zelll-lot.

[abidan2006]

I'm a noob at starcraft. In practice league. Is it smart to use a reaper to scout/harass really quick.?

[smellyc]

@abidan2006 Great idea! Reapers are perfect scouts

[onecentnickel]

@abidan2006 if you know they didn't go fast stalkers/roach. if they went zerglings/banelings, you can micro around the queen, and it works really nicely against Protoss if they dont stalker

[KrazyAznPig]

you're not suppose to get that early of an extractor for zerg

[oR00o]

@KrazyAznPig a good way to start zerg is to cap at 10 make an gas extractor make a drone then cancel the gas and now you have 11/10

[Ryuujin1988]

@oR00o you can do that with 2 extractors, there is enough time to mine and morph 2 more drones and cancel your extractors. and youre going to be up 2 =)

[oR00o]

@Ryuujin1988 ya what i usually do tho is take the drone thats spawning and as soon as he is spawned you have enough for him to make a pool

[mcbrite]

@KrazyAznPig I was about to ask:

Where the hell is the point of getting the extractor for the pure sake of it, if you mentioned NOTHING in the video that uses ANY gas at all? Extractor takes 4 (!!!) drones of mineral which is a serious gimp. And the earlier, the gimpier... (Hurray for word-invention) :D
