Hello,

I'm looking to find some solid information, whether it be a forum, website, Youtuber, whatever it may be that offers content on how to improve my skills at Starcraft Broodwar such as my micro/macro for example, or tips on improving my APM (my APM is currently between 90-110) and other types of strategy.

Note, I'm already an above-average player who plays Fastest Possible Map, in that I'm not looking for 'beginner' info. But rather, some information that targets more advanced skills in looking to take my game from intermediate/experienced to expert.

If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be much appreciated as I want my Starcraft Broodwar relapse to be even more enjoyable

Cheers

what race do you play? liquipedia brood war section matchup meta section with all build orders is something of a bible for the game.

https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/Portal:Beginners/Strategy

me and two friends (north east NA) play each other seriously on competitive settings for years now. i met them playing WoL in 2011 and now we've long quit SC2 (david kim tire iron rape) but brood war is still the shit. if you want to play 1v1s and improve with us we'll help. we play current and old official maps from the ladder.
i play zerg, my buds one's terran other's toss. we have a near complete understanding between the three of us of the early/mid/endgame for every single matchup. we pigeon-hole ourselves build wise and practice mostly common macro play or the most effective cheeses, but anything goes. we do like to fuck with each other.
we're not amazing, eat supply blocks now and again, make huge blunders, but we've all gotten to a point where the pace of the play makes broodwar much more addictive, especially wanting to keep going re. in a short hectic game we may have 250apm, in a long, extra-peaceful game maybe 140. apm comes real quick after you master the build flow into mid, then endgame.

feel free to hmu if you ever wanna game. we got discords. we're in a TBC raiding guild / also playing a lot of D2:R hardcore online with them.

if you are looking for more depth and quality of detail for the core things, and don't want to read the Portal:Beginners on liquipedia, dive right into day9's video content

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgmCLtUkEutKY8IlwyVCUFoRtgQe3LCf1

he speaks quickly and well, doesn't miss anything, and has everything from hotkey setup, unit abilities / building familiarity / basic concepts micro vs. macro / time management, up through analysis of old South Korean OSL finals to break down what "perfectly played" matchups may look like - be it mirror (TvT,ZvZ,PvP) or not. also all the micro tricks that aren't that hard (or that fun) to learn.

at the end of the day one of the best ways to practice will be to make sure you can read the build orders you want to use on liquipedia, and then if you have a second monitor leave them up while you play.
