UPDATE ON ME

I am truly sorry for my lack of respect for this site lately.

In the beginning, I wanted to create a FREE environment suitable for all people – hence ‘free gaming swag’.

My $7 eBook is basically free, more of a donation than anything, but… I am disappointed in myself over the lack of content.

I plan on reviving the site VERY soon, with a much more sleeker look, faster loading speeds, and much more FREE content!

Please stay tuned, and don’t give up on me yet :( .

Upon request, I am here today to make a complete Beginner’s Starcraft 2 Guide.


What classifies you as a beginner:

# You type excessively in a game

# You ask “What are [unit]?”

# You have no Control Groups, or a bare minimum

# Your resource count goes above 500 within 5-10 minutes of gameplay

# You don’t know the maps


So what can you do to improve these aspects of your gameplay? I will give a step-by-step guide on what to do early game, and a few key tips for late game.

Starcraft 2 – How to Counter

I now give you – How to Counter v2.


Original post got deleted for some reason, so I’m going to try my best to make a copy of it.

Knowing your opponents strategy is a vital part of any game, whether it be online or not. The same rules apply to Starcraft 2.

Want to know my opinion on Starcraft 2 pros? They aren’t pros because of their apm. Heck, I have 20 less APM than one of the best pros there is. They are pros because they know how to counter each and every single build that their opponent makes.
