Learn to play Starcraft - Terran Beginner Guide #1 - Updated (2017 LOTV)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 тра 2017
- A new and hopefully improved version of my guides for each race where I go over as many basics as possible while doing it live :) I strongly believe that a super structured guide style is not very helpful compared to watching/playing the game actively. Feedback is greatly appreciated. -- Watch live at / wintergaming

"BEAT YOURSELF AS HARD AS POSSIBLE" Directions unclear. Keyboard now sticky.
57ashdot I
I've read that in Abathur's voice.
I now have a different view of StarCraft 2 - thanks a lot
@@MarceloYuri
Directions unclear.
Command board now covered in essence, highly inefficient for swarm control.
I can say that this is by far the most practical introduction into what I am going to call "how to not lose." I've been a SC fan for years, started playing myself a year or two ago. I've done the campaigns, dabhped in co op mode a bit, but I never quite got the hang of melee games. I never considered myself a "noob", but I just never seemed to be fast enough to keep up. That changed today. Even with my sub-par average APM of 35, I now feel confident enough to at least hold my own. The key, for me at least, was determining the proper number of production facilities needed to spend my resources at an appropriate rate. I see what you mean about marines, marauders, medivacs and tanks being the bread and butter of any competent Terran player. It isn't exciting, but it works.
On that note, I want to know the actual numbers on how fast you accumulate resources from a fully saturated base. How long does one base of income last?
From what I can tell, you need about 2.5 bases to max out your army in a reasonable amount of time.
Once again, thanks. Your guidance has given me the tools I needed to hold.
But, will the Zerg pay for my wall?
In silver/bronze. Yes, with the blood of many zerglings and roaches. Much, Much blood.
And honestly, what more could you ask for than the blood of your enemies delivered to you on your doorstep.
Well, zerg units are somehow made out of minerals and gas, so technically they do deliver their body containing those things to my doorstep
FUCKYOURSELF GOOGLE we are made of carbon and nitrogen :D
I see what u did there :D underrated
"what are you banking all that money for? are you starting a new branch?" haha, that was hilarious!
"You're not playing Nova in Coop, this is the real world"
Time stamps (still recommend you watch the whole video)
TvZ 2:02
TvT 15:09
TvT 29:29
Q&A 42:40 (brief)
there's no TvP however this is starter and goes over many basics that carry over all match ups.
15:33 the scv ready bass drop sync unreal
Underrated find, that was awesome lol
not gonna lie I was a bit put off by that 45 min long video but I'm sooooo glad I watched it
Ditto
The drop was good with that "SCV Ready" in the background at 15:32. Someone should consider making thos SC2 remixes. Honestly
Los Poulpos legit read this comment the moment before it happened.
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHA comment of the day
daaaamn ahahahah
Wow!!! hahaha. Went back and heard it after reading your comment! Very true!
Even if I can barely follow what you're doing, I still think you're the coolest teacher. I don't get how you manage to do so many things at once and still be able to voice your every thought. Impressive.
That sentence about beating yourself being more important than beating your single current opponent is what made me try ranked again since 2011
Man I like the way you talk man. Feels like an actual veteran Terran layin down the core fundamentals. Great vid.
What are you going to do get stim pack with your 7 marines? Do you have fucking green berets in your army?
J C XD
TLDR:
1) beat yourself as hard as possible(not with the keyboard)20:43
2) pimp the crib 17:00
3) play like a dehydrated potato19:00
4) your mother is unable to tilt over 25:45
5) my control group layout 30:43
Only 5 minutes in and he's already addressed mistakes I make all the time. Thumbs up.
Wow your TPM on this guide was amazing!
Rawkit_Surgeon i'm amazed how he didn't bring it up in this guide, tpm is the most important stat gold and below
Turret per minute
It could also mean Tips Per Minute cause he was spitting knowledge at a record breaking pace. His TPM is only slightly lower than the Koreans, which is impressive.
I have to say, I've only watched the first 15 minutes and I'm already immensely grateful. Just seeing the basics in action clarified so much for me. Like, continuing to make workers and buildlings and everything, actually spending all of my resources... that's something that didn't click for me until I watched you walk through it at a speed I actually understood.
that look ma no hands followed by the victory was the most gangster thing I've ever seen winter do
You are the most entertaining and clear teacher I've seen in my hours of research.
This video and all explanations are thorough, easy to understand (even for a beginner like me) and you sound like a funny, sincere guy.
This is quality content. Oh my.
Very nice guide Winter, and I gotta say that the "1-2-move" at the end of the 3rd game was BEYOND GLORIOUS!! [Kreygasm]
I started playing Starcraft 2 because of your "for beginners" video you made. I usually don't play rts games but you got me really interested and as a visual learner your videos are great!
Your videos have helped me out a lot since I took a four-year break from Starcraft. All the events stuff like splitting and knowing what to build seem to stay but basic mechanics are the hardest part when you getting back into it. Thanks a ton for the tips
Thanks this guide I started pimping my opponents base while beating myself hard and got Diamond in half an hour. Thanks Winter!
"You can't eat steak untill you learn to eat your damn potatoes, alright?" Absolutly got me there!
Picked up SC2 since it went F2P and been watching all your vids to learn how to play. Thanks for all the info it's really helped with the learning curve!!
Oh. My. God. You can tab through different kinds of buildings. Now I can comfortably use Robo Facility and Stargate while still having hotkeys for warp prism and oracle. I have played nearly 900 games in Starcraft 2, which isn't much, but it is without comfortably being able to use more than two building types. I have to thank you so much Winter, I have learned so much about Starcraft just in the past week from watching your videos.
omg, I can't believe I never knew that!! All of production is on one hotkey, and you can tab through them! That will significantly improve my ability to macro, as I had been putting each type of production on different hotkeys, and having to reach down to the zero key. Plus the F2 -F5 camera locations is going to help me a lot too. This was an amazing video, I knew I had to come back and watch it again after stream.
I'm also going to have to pause your video 100 times to see what you use for your hotkeys on your production. I wonder if you could list somewhere your entire hotkey list.
I have the same problem, but haven't been able to find that in the video! Do you remember which game or the time stamp???
you can do the same thing with units. Say for example you have marines and ravens in the same control group, you can tab between them to stim while you auto turret!
+Jacob H (SushiLaser) you can also hit Shift+tab to cycle backwards. So if you want to go from your starports to your factories. You can hit shift twice, or hit shift+tab. This comes in handy when you have all your mech and Bio on one hot key
I didnt get it, how to you put all production on the same key?
click on all the buildings u want on the same key, then bind them. When you want to use them cycle through them using tab key
Hey man, thanks for the videos. I love SC2 and I've played for a long time now and its always nice to see someone else play and learn from them. I love Terran and Protoss and you've helped me alot. Thanks man.
I didn't know that about the wall, will deffo use that - I am already glad I started watching!
I have done the first 5 or so campaign missions, and have focused on learning the Terrans to get used to the game - I have also played a few of the versus AI matches to train myself
First time I thought i'd put bases on like every available resource area and drain the map, took too long and wasn't a good strategy for me, plus I got bored quickly and it was a mess - so next match I stuck to less bases, but focused on being more efficient with my economy, and drained the resources from abut 3 or 4 areas while quietly building things like barracks on the side. Unilke what you said though I added more barracks asap and had each one dedicated to a specific soldier type and built up an army of like 70, made up of various soldiers
Anyway - the first time I attacked the enemies bases with my army and crushed them was an amazing experience man - They didn't know what hit them and I think I only lost like 2 marines in total! I know that I did it basic style, but I am still learning every time I play a match atm and every time I play I learn how to advance my game and equipment..
Anyway sorry for the story, but if you're new, don't be put off by people talking pro-talk and saying things that sound confusing, stick to it and just keep playing it is an amazing game - I never would have played a game of this genre before but this one has me hooked - love it
I came to your channel from lowko but you're much more entertaining, Subscribed!
same
I love both of them they are like my favourite 2 youtubers even though I am subscribed so like 13 people
same :D
Lowkos fail to pay attention to map awareness sometimes can be cringy. I perfer winter.
@@xholyacucmarinex Wouldn't be surprised if Lowko's car didn't have mirrors.
Recently started playing SC2 Your guides are amazing.Thank you for being so helpful.
Thanks for the tips. The tip to hover on supply to see army and worker supply (24:34) was very helpful and totally new information. :)
Vigneish Kathavarayan I'm a high diamond player who's been playing since brood war and just learned that in this video
heres the bait AND THE SWITCH. That was satisfying
Hey winter. I've always been intimidated by SC2 but always wanted to get into it. I really like the cut of your jib man the video was informative. Cheers!
jib :)
"Build more shit than your opponent"
That's me, with metric fucktons of marines.
Divided Reality lol. In WoL 2v2, the whole game I sat in my 1 base and built +10 barracks with reactors. And when I got 200, I went out to crush the protoss, but sadly he had a colossus army on high ground. . Good times.
"You're not playing Nova in co-op anymore, this is the real world" bwahaha that one gets me every time
Can you do a video covering all the details of the Maps? Which are big/small? Just important stuff regarding the maps? Would really appreciate that. Nice Video btw.
i think this exists somewhere on youtube, not by winter but by someone else
it pretty much comes down to the ramps and chokes and the walking distance to the main of the enemy so its kinda self explanatory
ah and where there are cliffs for reaper jumping, where there is air only terrain and stuff like that, but i think it goes more in-depth than that so im gonna look for it now
You are my saviour I didn’t fully understand how to use control groups but now I do
After years off I'm trying to get back in. Thanks for the refreshers!
Really learned a lot, thank you very much! It's great to have a plan on how to play to understand the game better.
man ive only started playing starcraft and i find your videos the most helpful out of all the twitch streamers and youtubers and for that i thank and hope you keep uploading good videos like this but my question to you is ? am i to late to start playing starcraft ?
He acctually answered this recently because he gets it so often. Short answer No game is still very alive think about it this way i just go on and there were 12000 games being played. everygame is 2-8 players so even if all of the games were 1v1 or coop (which blizzard has released proof that its not) then thats still 24000 people on a weekday when all the kids are still in school and alot of the older folks are at jobs.
Also if you are concerned about matchmaking i played 5 games yesterday at 6 am and my waiting for match time was about 5 seconds everytime.
thanks man coz i really like the game and really want to learn how to play it well enough tho enjoy it and not get stomped every game
If u play on EU server add me and we can play some, Fufewaxe tag name.
Thank you! I just won my first Terran game, saved me lot of time! It really gave me an edge prioritizing my macro and of course "micro-ing your macro" :D
Thanks for the video! I found this very helpful. Just started playing SCII with my friend and I played SC when I was lot younger and loved it, same as RA2.
I learn so much from these videos :) Keep it up Winter!
this has been incredibly helpful, even though its a year old. thank you for making this.
"more money, less problems" - Winter 2017. Words to live by.
After watching this video I won my first 1v1. This is just what I needed
Great video helped a lot even a year later. Keep up the great work.
It would be really great if you could link the videos for the hotkeys in the description :) Other than that great SC2 content as usual winter. thanks for being awesome (Y)
Thank you very much for the guide, it is really useful. Looking forward for the protoss one.
Aye im a fresh new starcraft 2bie and this is my first vid of yours ive watched. I had to sub cause this is the first time ive ever watched a tutorial this long, yet entertaining with NO EDITING. Youre a funny dude lol. And lowkey, you look like the fbi agent from ozarks im sorry lol
Thanks for explaining the weaknesses of the cyclone. On paper their damage sounded really good
as a completely brand new RTS player there's a lot about the game i still don't understand but the final game with the bait and switch finale was pretty cool to watch and finally understanding certain things happening is a good feeling
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G guide. Very helpful. Pls continue
I played starcraft wayyy back like the sc1 shareware days. I used to go by blackice and make mods for it too. As the time passed and I got older I stopped playing the game because I felt like it for too complicated for me at my age and APM! I am not a person that can probably keep up with everything have 100 apm non stop. After watching your videos today I feel like trying to play starcraft again even though i'm starting from scratch! Thank you for all your videos it has got me motivated to to try again and not be intimated to play it.
Perfect timing.. I Literally was messing with Terran Last night for the first time.
I love how you talk, its amazing
I like how easy u play, keeping speaking, sometimes visiting game menu. Looks so easy.
Winter I love you bro no lie. And by the way I'm your newest fan. You are too funny, this video, too funny, you had me laughing out loud when you "pimped" your opponents "crib" with two engineering bays, and then once again when you started comparing rines/rauders/medis to "the instant mash potatoes in your life"! Lol! I have been studying your Terran tech and I wish to become as good as you. After hitting diamond I've decided to watch pro build order before making my claim for Master's bracket... and my irl friend told me you were the go to guy, I understand why he believes that, your knowledge of the game is deep brother! In this video alone I learned to multi hotkey production buildings and tab thru them, and I also learned about camera position hotkey, and I'm only half way through the vid! Haha. I'm serious when I say I wish is to become friends with you in Starcraft 2!! :D if you want to grant your newest fan's wish Add DarkHorizon@sc in game. If you do end up looking at my profile please understand it still says silver 1v1 and plat team until next season registers this season's plat 1v1 and diamond team placing
Idk if its accurate anymore but I literally just made marauders and medivac against protoss and basically walked my way up to gold doing so
Love your videos man, keep up the great work!
got plat 2 in a couple of days after watchin this - ty winter
"They're so heavy, just like your mother"
Thanks for Video, absolutely brilliant! Yeal, 1st Battle, during Brood War SC 1 that's what I did on an open Map with no great Blocking opportunities. 2 to 8 Marines, and two quick siege Tanks! My study is over now, I got it together even though I still haven't played StarCraft 2. It took 35 to 40 Zerg Videos, but i saw it all I think. Just saying, The Terran rule in StarCraft 2 too! Theory -permanent validity regardless of fluctuations in theory. Although I'm not seeing faults with Default Values, it's like a Chess Game, White get's the 1st move only advantage but make a mistake and accidentally place a Piece in the wrong position, and Black's chances of Winning significantly improve. I like an open playing field and it's inherent status. You're the Best, keep taking advantage of Errors and wishful thinking! Good Luck (If I ever decide to play this game then I'll Subscribe. However, I'm not opposed to 'Wishful Thinking'.)
Hey this guide actually helped me a lot! Tx winter!
That last attack made me smile!
I can't believe I've been playing starcraft for such a long time and didnt know you could change the settings to be able to select enemy army or buildings...
love the guides, i personal just got to diamond thanks to your guides : )
Great video mate. Was dabbling with the idea of getting into starcraft 2 multiplayer. Love how honest you are about strategies and how much you are simplifying things. Other streamers just like to make everything over complicated. You are crisp, direct and clear in your explanations and honest.
Just one question thou. You seems to very easily overcome your opponents, like you can tell they;re miles behind you everytime. How come? since you;re in ranked, shouldnt they be at a similar skill level?
I think ranked match making is reset at the beginning of every season (I'm just guessing though, I just switched from arcade/campaign to versus, hence the reason I'm here)
A good thing to know if there is a tank standoff is that there attack range is greater then there vision range. Get a viking or any flyer u happen to have available for that slight extra vision range and low lvl players will rage and think u are hacking the game becouse there tanks cant fire back.
He does everything so efficiently and quickly... Like by 9 minutes he has sooo much, that would take me like 20 + minutes probably even more....
EternalCodez That's kinda bad considering he was hovering like 80 apm lol..... I think you need to work on ur apm my friend
OMG that tank bait, was AMAZING!!!
LOL "Look ma no hands" just earned u a like and a sub LOL
xD thank you for this (almost 1 year apart ) started playing and been really educational! xD i had to watch it sometimes half speed to get things right
that last game with those siege tanks tho
BOOM BOOM, BABY
Best caster! Thanks for making me spit out my drink.
I saw some comments from people who do not yet own LotV. I recently purchased the content and haven't looked back. As someone previously pointed out, the early game is significantly more enjoyable and fast paced. Most new units are either extremely fun to play, vital to make and break some interesting combos and offer more flexibility for all races (e.g. Hydra into Lurker). And for those who, like me, are very hesitant to play against other players: I promise you will enjoy the campaign and coop missions. The decision to spend money is up to each and everyone of you. I for my part only purchased LotV after the game's price got reduced.
"WHO KNOWS? MAYBE HE DIDNT MAKE ANY OVERLORDS" hahaha
Very helpful videos dude, much appreciated.
never knew about camera hot keys, very helpful.
i am playing sc2 because of u again,amazing vid thanks
18:35 best conversation about potatoes and starcraft ever
Really found this video helpful! Thanks a lot man :-D
That marauder-your mother joke made me laugh more than I it should have
Winter was such a savage to that Zerg
20:50 and then there's the Zerg guide one. "Play with yourself before every ladder game". The analogies never end.
Awesome video. Please do more of these.
Thank you sir! You gave me a guideline :) Kepp up the good work and gl&hf
Hey Winter! I'm hoping you will do a similar guide for Zerg. Your 'real talk' style for the lower leagues is really helpful, none of this hundreds of apm builds for every flavour stuff.
Great video, a lot of useful tips and less stupid talk than in other people videos. Learned a ton, now I need to play and implement all of that. Getting my butt kicked during custom games with friends.
Waiting for zerg and toss guides)
This one is cool as always.
You have the best voice for playing terran
Love your videos thanks Winter!!!!
hey man super useful but Maybe explain what might happen in different scenarios say he's rushing ultralisks and those giant zerg mammoth things? Or air units? also you didn't explain what time you should be upgrading your base. How many scv's did you build before you did that?
Winter - Teachin people to beat themselves since 2017
Wow just wow... never seen starcraft before, your'e very tactically efficient.
Great video, thanks Winter
I just started playing about a week ago. I can understand what's happening in a very very general level, as I have never ever played an RTS before, but man. 40:30 that shit was so satisfying to see.
26:05 you look at his base for less than a second and somehow get all the info you need. That must come with experience I suppose
the last TvT fight was amazing when you changed your tanks to siege and destroyed the enemie's army
