Had my first game yesterday, I was absolutely obliverated 🤣 the guys was like "u new?" and I said yeah, my first gsme and he told me good luck and left the game so I got the win 🤣 now watching this I realise all the things I did wrong 🤣 and how much harder this game is than I thought haha thanks ! Great vid :D
LOL, what a nice guy! Thanks for sharing, and I hope you have fun with the game! It can be overwhelming at first but focus on learning instead of winning and you'll be set! 😀
What a nice story
I had my first online game today and got destroyed too lol. I wanna play online but i'll probably have to lose A LOT before I can get my first W.
That’s not why it’s called “all in” 😅 it’s called “all in” because you are staking all you have on one gamble
same i got completely deleted by some zerg and then he just left 😂
I only started playing starcraft 2 a week ago and your videos have really helped me out just figuring out how to play. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad I could help. Good luck with the game and have fun! 😀
*Micros a reaper and get 3 worker kills*
*Banked 1000 minerals and gets roachrushed*
This is such a great video! Trying to get into SC2 but it's scary and difficult ^^
Thank you so much! Totally agree, it can be scary and difficult, but don't give up! It's super satisfying when you start to feel improvement! :)
Zerg master race
For realllll. There is a huge barrier of entry
I am trying to get into sc too, i just play while im in a call with Friends or just vibing to some musics. I dont really win a lot but its fun
@@bas3547 you im in the same boat. you learn any gems for beginners?
"Harrasment is powerful" words to live by right there. Jokes aside thanks the series man most people focus on popular and new games nowadays
I am a new player. I am learning the basics of macro, and using these basic tips I was able to win my last three ladder games. Thanks Altercate!!!!!!!!
Awesome! Glad I could help :)
@@Altercate 😎
Keep grinding king see you at ladder👑
This is awesome! Please keep these up. I'm trying to get my friends into starcraft for *years* and this is really going to help conceptualize things for them!
Thank you so much! I've got more videos coming for sure. :) Good luck with the game and getting your friends into it.
I cannot believe that you have
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. ❤
This is a well explained general idea of ladder on starcraft, remember, starcraft is a hard game. Its for some people and not for others. Try it and see if it feels good to you, the art, the music, the feel of the game. GL HF!
Really good video! This should be watched by every new player :)
SC2 is a great as ever with the recent DH Valencia and the ongoing GSL.
Keep this up! You've got a great RUclips adventure ahead of ya. Thanks a lot for these vids man.
Thank you so much! That's so nice of you to say 😊
Hey Man, I am reviewing the basics and your video is so awesome, the knowledge the vibe, and your style refresh my learning experience. Thank you so much for the content, just keep going, with this kind of quality you will go a long way.
Thank you so much for your kind words! :)
This is a great video. I've the type of person that always need to understand the big picture in everything and getting a final concise recap at the end saved me from having to rewatch it and make notes
Incredibly well made video! Info is super organized and flow of logic is easy to follow
Thank you so much! :)
Very helpful and high quality tutorials. Keep'em coming!
Dude those videos are so helpful and pleasing to watch, i love it ! Keep it up :D
Thank you so much, glad I could help! 😀
thanks for the video and i see you get over 400 now~
Haha, yeah, December was a very good month for me! :)
Another great video of yours!
Great video!
Great beginner playlist man. You deserve more subs!
Thank you! 😍
I’ve watched people(friends) play Starcraft for a while and I just started playing and I must say your videos are super helpful
Thank you so much! Good luck with the game, I hope you enjoy it :)
@@Altercate it’s really fun, I find it funny when I watch players at like your lvl and there doing all these crazy things and then I’m struggling to build things in general
@@seedlesspumpkin3654 Haha. I've been there for sure! Keep practicing and you'll see lots of improvement! :)
2 years later and you are at 10.3k subs. Must feel good.
I was a kid when WOL came out my strategy was as simple as this.
Terran: Spam Thors or Battlecruisers or both.
Zerg: Spam Ultralisks
Protoss: Spam Carriers
It always works...
Vs. AI.
Lol yeah it’s a totally different game versus people!
Haven’t played in over 15 years and wow are people good! Very intimidating to play for beginners I can see and someone just getting back in. Every game in the end when you lose opponents will criticize you and say you suck, learn to play, you aren’t very good, and just the meanest things. But there is hope out there. Been nice to run into the few who say GLHF! It’s all fun for me and used to be my favorite game. Glad I’m getting back into it. Getting better each game!
Sorry to hear you're running into some jerks on ladder! If it's any consolation, it tends to be the worst players who behave like that. 😂
Good on you for sticking with it and improving! Focusing on the joy of learning and getting better is really the key to enjoying StarCraft imo! GLHF!
Thanks man! Beautiful video 🧡
Thank you so much! :)
This is fantastic content. Very informative video. Great job!
Thank you so much! 😀
Great tutorials!
These videos are really high quality!
Thank you! 😊
@IamMe 😂
Pairing your vids and Vibe's B2GM is the complete starter pack for new blood in this game. Great content.
I'll be sure to recommend these to peeps I'm getting to play.
@@josegertes2732 Thank you so much! And I agree, Vibe's stuff is stellar, especially when you have a decent understanding of the game already!
Thanks! Nice explanation.
Very educational. Very useful. I'm happy to subscribe and have done so. I also learned a lot from the fundamentals video. Thank you.
Thank you for your support! Good luck with the game 😀
Great content, thanks a lot!
Thank you! 😊
Congrats on 6k!
Thank you so much! 😀
watching another one of your videos man
Thank you! 😀
Started the game a month ago, 13 years after I wanted to. Your speech is precise, I like it.
Impressions of the game : it's so good. It feels good, it looks good, it does not seem old at all. It's so hard. The macro is so unforgiving. I used to play Warcraft 3 18 years ago. The rate of macro actions you need to do in SC2 feels like 4 times more. And I sucked at it in WC3. Aand to the point of sometimes it feels like work, in a way, haha.
Also to me SC2 is more entertaining to learn than chess for example. Actually, it's addictive.
love your videos. thank you!
❤
Great break down keep it up!
Thank you so much! :)
Again, another clear and helpful presentation! When is the next SC2 video going to drop?
Thanks again! I'm editing the next video right now and it'll be out in a week or so! It's going to be a guide/tutorial for scouting. 😊
Absolutely loved this video. Keep up the amazing content! You're gonna do great
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me to hear 😍
@@Altercate oh hi! I wasn't expecting you to read my comment. I meant what i said, your content quality and clarity is insane and I absolutely enjoy watching it. I played a lot of starcraft 2 back in the day and I can't even play it now but I was getting curious about how it worked in more competitive settings and your videos definitely helped me. I'm binge watching all of your content right now xD. As I said, keep em coming!!
@@rivonnewarwickshire1607 One of the benefits of being a small channel is that I have time to read and reply to all the comments I get. 😂 Glad my videos were useful to you and thanks again for your kind words!
bruh, your actually telling me you made this good of a video at 400 subs, gj man hahaha, thanks for learning me so much!
Haha yeah I think I had like 350 subs at the time...
Glad you liked the video! :)
Great video I just got in to sc 2 and wondered how hard it would be to play pvp, might actually go for it tbh
Go for it! It's a lot of fun. 😊
It's interesting coming into StarCraft 2 as a seasoned Dota 2 player. I am pretty good at microing units (I use Grid Hotkeys because they map out closer to Dota 2 style hotkeys) so skirmishing with medivacs, stalkers, adepts etc comes totally naturally but macro is a huge pain in the ass. I'm so used to only having to focus on microing one or a handful of units and not having to worry about economy
Thanks for sharing your experience! My feeling is that Dota's focus on one aspect of the RTS gameplay format is the reason why people enjoy the genre so much. IMO that also means that to really enjoy an RTS you have to kind of lean into that "extra stuff" i.e. the macro elements, and find ways to enjoy it.
Btw, cool username, I'm gonna steal that for a location in some D&D campaign. 😂
@@Altercate Thanks lol, I literally just combined the MTG cards Batterskull and Dragonskull Summit
@@batteredskullsummit9854 Haha awesome, gotta use that technique next time I need to come up with some cool names!
hope you keep making videos, i just landed
Excellent analysis and informative video. Very happy I watched.
Thank you so much! 😀
one thing i can recommend, its something i do on act of war a lot, starve your enemy of resources, altho in AOW you can just capture or kill vehicle crews and pows but here, just kill workers
Congratulations on exploding through your subscriber target! 😀🎉
Lol thanks!
I follow LS so hearing you break down this game, I understand the things he talks about.
I don't have hands so I didn't really try to play, but I enjoy the intellectual complexity of the game
LS = LastShadow? That's a name I haven't heard in a long time!
Thanks for commenting! I agree about the intellectual complexity about the game. Since I haven't had as much time to play these days, I also mainly follow the game "from afar" and it's a wonderful hobby even as an observer. The level of play has increased so far over the last 10 years, and the skill of the players is utterly astounding at times.
the progression to sc ladder continues !!!
Well explained :)
Glad I could help :)
Fantastic video. Good job, I wish I had that when I started out. But it's awesome to review the basics
Thank you so much! :)
Make more content about Starcraft 2!!! Hopefully we'll meet on the ladder!
Wow! Good video :)
Thank you! 😀
great!
Thank you so much! 😀
This vidéo is to well done ! Maitreclasse
Great video 2023
you sound like your from norway, but your voice is good to listen to makes watching your videos easier, keep up the good work man!
Thank you! Close - I'm from Sweden. 😅
I always wondered why Protoss at the highest level do that thing at 9:56. I know it is harass but what does it actually do?
Great vid btw kept it up!
Thank you! So, basically every mineral patch can only have one worker mining from it at the same time (MULEs are an exception to this). That means that if your probe spams right-click on an enemy mineral patch at the right time, it will slightly interrupt your opponent's mineral gathering. Also, if you actually manage to mine a mineral, you'll remove 5 minerals from the mineral patch, which your opponent won't have later in the game.
This kind of harass is EXTREMELY minor so it won't really matter at all except at the very highest level of play (unless your opponent overreacts in their response and messes something up). :)
11:10 if you’re getting crushed, run away 🤣👌
Good advice in real life too
I love StarCraft but I am terrible at it. I thank you
Thank you! Keep it up, you'll get better! 😀
This video I searched a lot
Glad I could help! 😀
First ever online multiplayer was Starcraft, now I'm a decade late playing this
Never too late to start! Good luck and have fun 😀
Awesome I learned so much from that I,ll surely beat my opponent up in Starcraft 2 next time. shriek !!!!!!!!!!!sorry just a zealot dying heheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh
Sigue haciendo videos wey, si llegas al 1000 de suscriptores...
Thank you! I will :)
Is there a mechanic that lets you verbally abuse your units?
Unfortunately not - hopefully in a future patch! 😀
3:08 yep, thats me
🤣
what MMR are you yourself?
what is that map in the beginning of the video
The one at 0:20? That's Eternal Empire!

"my goal is to reach 400 subscribers"
I see it worked pretty well 😊
Lol yeah it worked out 😂
Hi i want to play StarCraft but do you think 72mbps can run this game without problem?
Should be no problem :)
nice video but yeah timing attack, harasment are also a thing in Red Alert 3. however in Red Alert 3 you have easier time to harass
uhm... I'm more into WC3 Undead player which I don't usually expand my base cause as Undead that race is hard to expand but it's OK that's exactly what I wanted... I'm having some hard time to control multiple bases anyway it's quite overwhelmed
in WC3 I can harass easier than in SC2 because as Undead I often rely on my heroes to dish out damage
in WC3 I often banked up my gold and lumber cause I wanna save those gold for buying more item from shops OR I need those gold and lumber to rebuild my army
in WC3... they prioritize MICRO than Macro,
uhm... the cloest style of that fast expand it would probably Human thhey expand like Terran
can you make a video about transition from WC3 to SC2 ?
I loved that about WC3, how you could basically "start the game" as soon as you had a hero. Creeping, harassing, etc. In SC2 usually it takes a bit longer to get going offensively.
I think a video about transitioning from WC3 to SC2 sounds really interesting, and I'll definitely consider it, but to be honest it's been such a long time since I played WC3 or watched pro games that I would have to do a lot of research before trying to make that video. 😂
@@Altercate yeah I'm looking forward to seeing that video
uhm... so far from my experience I'm not a pro so my experience might not be as valuable as other pros though so uhm.. my own personal experience might get dismiss or overlook a lots I'm Protoss+Undead player
but well I'll list my idea about transitions
1. find your own main race
so far this is my transtion about race to race
Zerg = Undead + Night Elf but more into Night Elf cause the units
Terran = Orcs + Human but more into Human
Protoss = Undead + Night Elf + Orcs but the playstyle I felt more like Undead cause...
Shades = Observer
Ghoul = Zealots but cheaper price...
Statue = Sentry
Fiends = Stalker + Immortal combine
Destroyer = uhm... this is tought guess High Templar + Tempest + Void Ray + Archon ? + Mothership
Frost Wymn = Tempest + mothership + Carrierr
Abomination = Immortal + Archon + Zealots
Meat Wagon = Colossus
Gargoyle = Phoenix + Void Ray + Scout(SC1)
Banshee = uhm.. Adept but with Battery Shield ?
Dreadlord = Zealots + High Templar + Oracle + Mothership ?
Death Knight = Zealots + Battery Shield + Sentry + Mothership
Lich = High Templar
Crypt Lord = Immortal + colossus + Zealot
NOTED: I'm not sure about Zerg and Terran so I didn't really list them as detailed as Undead = Protoss
2. you could mention about the pacing of BOTH game like the game time, APM, Building Build time,...etc
3. Micro(guess I'll leave it to you) but Micro in WC3 is quite intense cause you control less units than SC2
4. base expansion like how many base is enough in SC2 like good amount for you not being overwhelmed by too many bases since in WC3 even Humans they usually have like 2 bases
@@ArthasHastingsMenethil Cool, thanks for the analysis! I'll remember it for the future. 😀
@@Altercate uhm... and I forgot to mention one thing BUILD LAYOUT
in WC3 build layout can hlep you out a lots example Blade Master harasment in yourr backline which you have to wall off and in SC2 I felt like Build Layout is kinda underrated or overlooked so that's why I noticed that majority of pros play in SC2... they got harass a lots in their backline like some drop off
yes in WC3 they can harass in backline but tha'ts harder to do than in SC2.. I found in SC2 the MOST Vulnerable part of all base is their backline AKA where the mineral and gas and workers are
in some of ppro video I've watched in SC2... they OVERLOOKED base layout so so much that they got harass from Reaper, Battlecruiser, Liberator, Phoenix, Stalker, Zergling, Swarm Host,...etc a lots
@@ArthasHastingsMenethil Good points, thanks for the tips! 😀
except it'S NOT a strategy game for 90% of the playerbase
it's a management and control game for those, first and foremost
strategy comes into the picture once you know and can control most of the things necessary
I might just stick to co-op lmao
More I watch these the more I realize SC2 isn't the game for me, as much as I want it to be. I need a pause button or the slow pace of single player.
I totally get that! It's definitely not a relaxing or chill game to play! :)
Yea took mi mob tym to progress til I got d guide wic made it mob easy, u guyzz check it out
Im so nervous to play my first game against a person lol
12:20 - your 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 economy

Love it or hate it? 😂
a comment
Just make sc2 videos, then whatever comes after sc2
I'm looking forward to seeing what Frost Giant Studios puts out 😀
Or you can cheese the life out of opponent.
macro is cheating
bro macro can mean more than one thing ok
@@h3xagon488 following a build guide someone else come up with is cheating too
all forms of macro are cheating for all games
@@TimBorg -_-
Macro
1. a single instruction that expands automatically into a set of instructions to perform a particular task.
2. refers to higher level strategic game considerations. Macro skills therefore do not depend on granular twitch/reflex based control of game elements
using the first one is cheating the second one is based on skill
@@h3xagon488 yeah sure that's why your username is hacker
last guy i played with on this game told me he was using HAX software to spawn extra races he controlled in pvp ... after i saw him do it ... he had both Zorg and Protos
@@h3xagon488 I do not believe that any of the PRO Players in pvp have any skills whatso ever
using cheat software or following a build order isn't a skill... but they think it is which is why they are a big pack of losers who have ruined this game for everyone... I am sure they are why Billizard has dumped development on this
