Hello there.
I've just started playing SC2 and i must admit i find it quite fun, even considering the fact that i loose pretty much every online multiplayer game, which i play.
And for that reason i have decided to ask for a little help, since i'm conviced i will find this game even more entertaining once i can actually compete instead of getting destroyed each game.
Now, for your information i play Terran (basically because it was the first i was introduced to, and the most simple for me atm), and i have gotten to the point, where i have realised that it is very important to always make sure your units are in constant work. I heard the term ''Macro'' or to have a good macro, which basically means a good use of your economy along with a good production of units what so ever.
Furthermore i've learned to ''Wall-in'', isolating my base, which have given me more time once in a while and also kept scouts away from my base.
Speaking of scouts, i've heard many say that it is very important to have a look at your enemies base/bases, so you have an idea what they are building and therefore will know how to counter or deal with this.
And here to comes my greatest issue. I have NO clue at all about how to react to what they are building. I never know, wether i should go for a quick attack, or stay back and maybe expand quickly. I have no idea about what the diffrent buildings or structures do, along with many monster types.
I know most of this comes through experience and playing, surely. On the other hand, i wondered if there were some kind of guide how to know what to go for and so on.
That being said, i would love ANY kind of advice of how to adapt to the game more quickly. Good keybindings to make, good early game decisions. - Whatever works good for you guys, basically.


In case you've read my whole message and find some time to share your experience and advices, I would appriciate if you keep a more or less simple language and not too many shortcuts, as i'm not very much into the terms yet.
Thank you for your time.

k gd sir.

I did watch streams and youtube vids, but they don't really explain down to earth. It's too quick for me at first.

if ur some newb looking for help, go teamliquid.net
check some streams, see how they play and try to get some buildorders from the stratergy section

have you tried watching a tournament streamed game? usually they explain some basics now and then

also there are tons of newb videos on youtube and tutorials probably

Cheers!

if u play terran expect 2 lose alot but plz dont play zerg or toss....its a fisher price race and i would watch youtube videos or vods on sc2 2 learn more

SO it's harder to learn?

protoss is easiest, then terran. Zerg is hardest by far

start learning to play as easy race protoss, to get the basics, then switch to op race zerg, get masters, and you'll have the experience to switch back to terran, and get gold leauge.
oh wait, this isn't wol anymore.
