Havn't played in years. Watched the first terran video, played and lost 7 games. Watched it again, now with some better context after playing, went "aha" and did much better afterwards. Can't get good by just watching apparently :) Love the series!
i would like to make a suggestion if you don't mind, can you invert the camera for your keyboard and mouse, it feels unnatural to see an upside down keyboard
I'm learning every race. Started the game this week in my 30s after seeing freinds come and go playing this and everyone loved it. Now I know why. Love Co-op. Love the 1v1. I have a great time with a new game since years. Thanks for the guide
Tip for everyone on repairing: send 5 SCVs, put on auto repair, and then shift queue patrol. They will fix everything and THEN patrol, bam no idle workers and everything repaired. Oh and queue it so the patrol a bit behind your army, and won’t be caught when you box units
I am happy the algorithm hooked me up with this again..I am going to enjoy these vids..I quit playing because I was overwhelmed to many times with smurfing..I am an easy target I guess..I had fun for a little while because it improved the style I play..But I don't play correctly so a high diamond or higher can easily Smurf me.. perhaps these tutorials will reinvigorate me. Thx!
@@bensosnowski1128 there is no lev improvement when your spirit is crushed..and it is about fun for just about everyone I know..In fact it is fun for those smurfs...

Well you got me to play ranked again. I got placed in Gold....and have been steadily dropping in MMR ever since. I'm down to like 1800, still haven't done those 25 matches yet, but I'm getting close.
1:29:02 As a math enthusiast who's sick and tired of hearing people complain about math in unfair ways I honestly really appreciate your nuanced take on the real reason many people aren't fond of the subject 😂
3:28:30 I was introduced to SC at my first professional job. One of the players, who seemed so good when I first started, I later learned always had one hand thoughtfully stroking his chin while he played mouse-only. He was not good.
The boost cool down is important because as Winter said, you normally want to save boost for leaving. With the upgrade, you can boost in, drop, and have boost ready for leaving. Plus when the boost runs out, most units won’t catch you
props to winter for drinking water while doing his rather sedintary day job. it would be too easy to exist as one with the mountain dew or something. so good on him. im lowkey inspired.
I play maybe 1-5 ranked Pvp matches a week as random. Currently sitting at just under 2400 mmr. Terran is by far my worst race. Thanks for this series.
2:35:00 yeah I've had a few games where I was very far ahead in Tanks and feeling invincible until my opponent unleashed his saved up BCs! Nice unit when the opponent doesn't have enough countermeasures, as you said.
Question for the next Q&A of terran: "why bio OR mech? Would it not make sense to have a part with bio for map control and then a big chunk with Mech? Obviously is not being done but why? It reminds me of the time when no one used widowmines and focused on micro marines to counter banelings
I cracked GM last season placed at 161, funny to look back and remember the struggle. Sitting at 4.8k this season, too lazy to try again and put in that many games.
When you decide to commit to mech after your 1-1-1 add on 2 more Factories, going up to 5 eventually. There is an early 3CC build that is popular with mech but probably not a great idea below Masters.
13:00 Not sure if you mentioned this, but the problem with lock-on autocast is that it will never cast more than 1 on a single unit or building at a time.
Low APM challenge failed multiple times. I would rather see a loss than an APM spike for the sake of a dub, otherwise it doesn't really help us noobs. Still love your vids, your commentary and watch you religiously
@@blind_mel0n Not for everyone. If it's so easy, why does this challenge even exist? Obviously 80 apm isn't really easy to achieve for the majority of players in these lower leagues.
@@nathangamble125 but many of his opponents have significantly more apm than he does, and the ones that match his are almost always when he goes over the limit
Great Series "BUT" - most of the time when needed the Pro within him comes to shine and spikes back to 200+ APM: then resting so the average drops down to 60... Better name for that series "Low APM when Resting" it's true that games can be won with low APM when practicing efficient actions.. but that imho is just half of the story..
Hey Winter and all! How do you defend against mass VoidRays with a bio army? Are Marines enough with mixed in Vikings? Had a game where I was running around with Thors from one base to another to defend against them, which didn't work out quite well.
1:11:45 exactly why i don't build them in low leagues and exactly why my TPM is so freakin high. It's the low league meta to one base turtle with BC then doomtele
I disagree with Supply-Hunting beeing inefficient :) If you see a huge Stack and you can nearly safly kill it, it can hit quite hard on your Opponents mental Side. Beeing a Buisance and getting him crazy, is a good way to force him into Failures.
Everything you do in live and learn you can and will use on other things you do, that how you as humanbeing grow and learn to use utilize you personal toolkit in life.
May be a stupid question but in one of the earlier games in this vid his viking is scouting, and comes across 2 overlords. Why didn't he just pick up some free kills there?
Probably values information over the overlord in that instance. I'm not that far in the video. He could also probably collect the damage on the way home too.
"Normal I could quite literally play on a ddr pad" Lol no argument there, had to play a casual game a week ago and it was painfully boring, used unupgraded tychus and thats it
I just get shit load of times plus two or three tanks with a couple widow and lots of drops ships still upgrade rines max don't need viking unless colossus
I`d like to imagine that the poor lad, who played against you in the last game of the stream played his heart out for the entirety of half an hour, while you casually meander on and on about MMR and placements, not really paying much attention to the game. It's cruel. but funny.
Honestly I quit playing because every time I play. I do some ranked games, it puts me in platinum 1. I then lose 15-20 straight games and it didn't demote me. Try again next week, lose another 20. Still didn't demote me. How the frick am I supposed to even practice when I lose every game inside 10-15 minutes badly
These videos did make me play the game. Lost 4 in a row, got mad and it took the rest of the afternoon to get over it. Great game!
Same.
He doesn't tell you that 4vs4 are fun. But you still need to contribute lol
Try 2v2. It’s a lot of fun and diffuses responsibility for sucking.
Watched the First Part. Concentrated on my macro, doing things slow and in appropriate order.
Today i won 6 of 6 games played. Thanks winter!

this series actually made me play the ladder quite a bit.
..while, and after, i tanked my random mmr down to bronze 3.
That "D click" to separate loaded medivacs from empty ones is so useful.
Thanks a lot.

Remember you are playing against yourself, not your opponent.
It’s about improvement not winning

Liked for the piano statement of keeping your own song while occasionally slapping your opponent. Stayed for the lessons.
4 hours of solid SC2 gameplay, super excited to continue binging the Low APM Challenge vids
2:43:45 That's one hell of a supply block right there. He's so flabbergasted by the probe he even supply drops and still doesn't build a depot for like a minute.
Much like Chess this game scares me. But watching these videos has absolutely improved my AI games. Soon we'll start que'ing for rank
just think of it as an AI that gets angry when you beat it

You actually inspired me to start playing SC2 again
Really making me want to play ranked games with the chatter at the end Winter.
Super excited to watch these nightly. One of my favorite series in all UA-cam. Thanks for the consistent content Winter!
Just finished this week’s work and the low Pam challenge comes! Great!
3:28:30 I was introduced to SC at my first professional job. One of the players, who seemed so good when I first started, I later learned always had one hand thoughtfully stroking his chin while he played mouse-only. He was not good.
Love the voice of the commentator saying “no more minewals”
The canoe analogy was actually perfect lol
xD
the smart servo ad got me - and then the real ad break...

3:17:20 wow. I mean... WOW. That was profound.
I did not know that Alt+# control group thing to quickly separate units from main army control group. Thanks for the knowledge Winter :)
I loved how about 1k of marines took out like 4k of voids
Yay! Upgrades!
2:12:18 That saxophone is OUT OF CONTROL
The new series is amazing
I play maybe 1-5 ranked Pvp matches a week as random. Currently sitting at just under 2400 mmr. Terran is by far my worst race. Thanks for this series.
Almost identical to me!
2:35:00 yeah I've had a few games where I was very far ahead in Tanks and feeling invincible until my opponent unleashed his saved up BCs! Nice unit when the opponent doesn't have enough countermeasures, as you said.
Double starport BCs courtesy of Gumiho is my 80 apm D3 special
I did the math, 3 SCV per mineral patch yields 18% faster minerals.
"The numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you!"
1:44:00
Those are some of the funniest bits i watched instead of sleeping.
Thank you for your guides. I watch all of them and find them really helpful.. I have a lot less stress now when playing the ladder
Hot damn, I didn't knew you can repair a tank inside a medivac, holy moly.
Snuggle up, it's bedtime after a hard day's night of SC2. The sun's coming up!
YAAAAY I’m loving this series keep it up
Loving this series.ty Winter. Never watched anything this long before. Can't wait for Protoss part 2.
Part 2? The art of the cannon rush....
that double stargate cracked me up good :D
Maaan, that's just great, nobody explain those things!! Thank you!!

27:00 sending your workers require less micro, and also they scout.
I never liked sc. But playing piano while slapping someone from time to time made sc very interesting for me.
I lied I do like sc
I'd really like cheesy build order guides when you get to masters or so. That'd be dope.
I cracked GM last season placed at 161, funny to look back and remember the struggle. Sitting at 4.8k this season, too lazy to try again and put in that many games.
How many factories/Starports/Barracks should you aim for when going mech? Also how many gasses can sustain Mech production and upgrades?
Watch Part 1 again. He plays a mech build there. Pracriced it for some games now and its working out great!
When you decide to commit to mech after your 1-1-1 add on 2 more Factories, going up to 5 eventually. There is an early 3CC build that is popular with mech but probably not a great idea below Masters.

I was bronze ones . Now gold . Thanks winter
The comedy is gold.

Nice thumbnail
how do you purposely play slowly? doesnt that affect your overall skill when trying to play fast again?
Guess marines would be too op then with drops ships as well
But winter! Why play off race when I can watch low apm for races I dont play?
What in STARNATION is going on here, winter?
void rays are like canoes!!!!!
I saw the probe wander in and wondered that you didn't see it. Then I chuckled at the excuses.
switching into terran gave me the unpleasant realization that playing silver terran needs so much more critical thonking than playing plat protoss
my protoss mmr is higher than my terran and i have about 40 toss games and 1000 terran games haha
