"Starcraft is not about losing or winning, it is about beating yourself"- Winter2017
Wisest words that you have ever said.
as soon as he said that, i saw your comment and i COMPLETELY agree!
I beat myself every night
That’s not saying much
tried SC2 for the first time yesterday. It blows my mind how much shit you have to pay attention to. I played co-op with a friend and after 3 hours my brain was fried.
If you played sc1 before things would be much easier. I also played some other rts game like aoe, warcraft 3, and those old games didn't have that much macro assistant like sc2
i mean, you harass for a couple of minutes and buum! 1200 minerals, workers inactive, and your enemy already is destroying your supply at your natural!
try command and conquer red alert 3
It will get better:). At osme point when you learn shortcuts/use control groups it gets much better because you do much stuff nearly simultanously.
MarathonInfinityHalo spend your money while you fight!!! I tell all my friends when they first start playing the game “the first 100 games you play, don’t even look at the fight, just send your army in and continue to build more workers/army.” There’s no reason to micro all the way up to diamond
- The warp prism is essentially a flying pylon. -
SUPER pylon my friend ;)
Oh, are warp priss like super pylons? Didn't know, quite new to SC2 that's quite useful to know if that's the case ^^
it is , thankfully :)
their warp in speed is the same as a pylon next to a nexus/warp gate
Warp Prisms also regenerate Protoss shields while they're inside of it, can pick up units from a distance, and can power buildings. Overall an incredibly useful unit that has only relatively recently been receiving a lot of pro play. In particular, the double Archon drop, because Archons have a massive shield pool and little health, they're great for hit-and-run attacks on enemy mineral lines. They're also exceptionally powerful against light units and even have a small area of effect attack.
Hope this helps! Always happy to see new people picking up this wonderfully deep game.
AceofBlades X what is the exact shield regen we are talking about here? I'm a newbie as well
@@hoang2312 all protoss units have a shield but and its important because protoss lack health any kind of health regeneration
so ideally your units only take shield damage and the health is just in the case you take a bad fight
this video taught me so much and i've been playing(/struggling) for years. thank you!!! so many videos teach basics but move camera and units at an APM of 100+ and i can't begin to follow or understand how and why. so thank you!!!
Watching your content for a good six months and finally decided to try and play the game. Guides like this are unbelievably helpful. Cheers Boss
Love how you comments while playing, the jokes, how you play and great of a player you are. These videos are amazing, please keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for your guides! My friend recommended me to watch them and they are really great! Gonna watch more videos after this one. Thank you so much again.
Winter I want to say thank you. I saw you stream for the first time last week and Ive slowly been getting better. Just wanted to let you know that before I watched this guide I was winning roughly 40% of my matches. Since I saw this a day or so ago and been following it like a bible and adapting to situations my win rate has gone up to roughly 70%. Thank you!
P.S you dont get into late game options very often and i understand why. Because you simply kill them before late game. Im having some problem with late game terran and the big mech bots. any suggestions?
Great video! Really love these tutorials! Keep up the good work, cant wait for part #2
Hi winter! I like your videos really a lot, this is the reason I started playing sc2, and you inspired me to actually start doing youtube videos! thank you for your effort!
Dude I like ur tips and guides, your Zerg guide helped me alot I use to be a sloppy Zerg player. But after ur guides on true Zerg power I have a blast playing Zergs rather I lose or win I still feel like I at lease gave it a better go this time so thank a bunch bro and keep up the awesome work.
Have had it downloaded for awhile cause my friends wanted me to try it. Got into it for the first time tonight with them and I chose the protoss. Just watching this has helped already can't wait to apply it.
Great guide! Just what I was looking for, thanks my dude.
Last year I bought starcraft II and for almost an entire season I got my ass kicked by silver 2's as a Bronze 1 Terran. Thanks to your tutorials, I'm now a Plat 3 Random. This is really some of the best stuff on your channel and I thank you for them greatly. You inspire me to keep getting better. Keep being awesome man :D
Thanks a lot for the clear, easy to understand as well as amusing guide.
Was having trouble with my build order so this should help.
Dude, that’s just impressive how your mind works. I’ll be using these tips for sure.
Thanks Winter got into SC2 after seeing it was free 2 play randomly a week ago and have really been enjoying it, used to watch you and Husky alot wayyyy back because I thought the game was sick when I didn't have a pc to play it on.
Thank you for the tutorial videos, they were really helpful and got me started into 1vs1 games. After placement matches yesterday, and 16 more games i just got promoted into platinum 3 :)
Congrats, I've played over 200 and have not gotten further than silver 1
Plat zerg reporting who has not once played protoss outside of campaign here to thank you for getting right to the point and explaining some of the more nuanced things I was looking for like building placement, chrono boost, super pylons, etc rather than explaining all the basics of the game.
Wow perfect timing on this video I have only been playing for 3 days and just started watching your vids yesterday and so far the only thing I've really played is protoss
I LOVE THIS TYPE OF VIDEOS :)
Thanks Winter for making it easy for newbies!! :)
I'm still not ready to play vs another person... I get too nervous and it seems everyone's better than me (specially when playing co-op) :(
I feel the same... I can understand most of what Winter does, but when I try to do it... It's hard to keep everything on tracks
Giving up is not gonna make things easier for you. Keep going, and aim to improve, not to climb the ladder
Thanks so much Winter, this gave me the structure to switch from AI to the ladder. Has made SC2 way more fun!
Dude, the tip about hovering over your supply to see workers blew my fucking mind. This was worth watching just for that.
Winter you truly are a great person! You mean more to a lot of people than you think you do!
I've been playing SC since 5th-ish grade (almost 30, phew), this may be the best video I've seen Starcraft-wise.
This is the stuff I was looking for. Many information like "how many workers" and "how to add stuff to your hot key groups" etc
I played Broodwar growing up and loved starcraft. I haven't played SC2 at all. Don't even have a PC that can run it these days but... I really enjoy these videos! Thanks for the content, Sir!
Dude ive been watching you for 3 weeks and enjoying really much thank you keep it up
Winter streams live for about 8-10 hours a day at twitch.tv/wintergaming so you can go there if you want to watch more (and interact with him in chat as he plays). Only a small proportion of the content made there gets uploaded to youtube by him. The video archives there have many years worth of videos of him playing starcraft.
Love seeing new players get into starcraft and winter! :D
i know but when he streams its about 3 in the night around here so im sleeping D:
welcome to the winter fam :) and the Protoss fam :))
You have a natural talent to teach SC2. Gonna watch all your videos.
Can someone please list the songs ?
The music from your videos is extremely good. Your eloquance, humour, masterclass teaching skills, passion and generosity are much appreciated. You're an artist.
Your videos are really useful! Thanks for make them!
3:30
*Fun fact:* Pylons still have a kill counter even though they can kill anything any more.
Love this. Absolutely. Watched the vid 3x times to get into it more deeply ^^
Thank you, Keep up the great work!
beginer guide "they're cheap as your mom" lol
hehehe dumb kid coaching with those texts... ofc i make report of this video XD
Hmm “3one84”
Talks like a robot... ^thats gotta be a bot
@@kriegscommissarmccraw4205 Fine, free. Whatever.
@@filipeamaral216 I honestly can't believe I wrote that.
@@kriegscommissarmccraw4205 I'm as surprised as you are.
A lot of good info here helped me alot but so many ppl just rush some of them are actually pretty interesting
Thank you. I miss being in HS and playing SC (1). I still hate your music but I love your content.
I love your gameboy + pokemon yellow analogy. It doesn't work 100%, like you said, but that just makes it better somehow, man.
Thanks for doing this.
I had no idea about super pylons or ctrl F1!
Superduper! Thanks for this! Really helps and motivates! :D
Thanks for this guide, love your videos!
Winter....my God, you are just awesome. So I tried a similar build against a terran as a protoss. It wasn't even fair. I didn't scout cause I'm not at that lvl yet but I completely destroyed him. Stepped my game up a lot. I learned to send workers from multiple nexi instead of mass producing at one.
Drinking game : Take a shot everytime he says Pylon
1 word alcoholpoisoning
Keep doing more like this. Awesome!
Thank you very much Kappa Ross - thx to you i definitly understood how i should start treating the Protoss
thanks for the video just got into starcraft and this was really helpful
Hello @WinterStarcraft
Thanks a lot for this guide! I was practicing your suggested "begining build", and yesterday i've decided to play my 1st ranked game 1v1. To be honest - i have no idea what happened there. It was PvP - 1st enemy tring to make tower rush - luckly defended before 1st canon appeared. Then 2 oracles attacking my probes - thank's to your suggestion about shield generatiors in bases, my losses were very small. And then, we want "all-in", but we missed eachother armies (his went from south to my base, mine from north + summoning 9 zelots on back of his main). I was able to clear his probes faster, and came back to base, leaving summoned zelots to "finish the base" - fight was pretty balanced, but in the end i've won :) But what suprised me while watching replay - his army was slighty stronger than mine, so i have no idea how i've won. It was like 3sentres+ 3 beams+3immortals+19 spiders (0upgrades) vs 13 spiders+3 immortals+3-4archonts + 3 sentries(+1 weapon). When i was watching replay (and noticed 2 of my archons were on the back of army -.-) i was VERY suprised that my army won the duel. Could you advise me, where to upload replay? As this would be an honor for me, if you would take a short look on the replay one day and suggest, what should i change/ improve and why the hell my army won :D
Thank you, this helped me lots! :)
managed to defeat very hard A.I. thanks to you, keep it up bro!
Hey, I'm about to jump into starcraft after this video and it's my last year of high school, what a coincidence :D
You remind me of Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory a lot. Awesome video, awesome channel, awesome guy. Subscribed and liked.
Liked before watching :).
I would like to see another guide for players in platinum-low diamond as well.
this
that's not the point of the like system lol
They are cheap as your mom :)
Started playing SC2 when I was 10, found Winter about a month ago watching videos, absorbing his knowledge. Hoped back on SC2 for the first time a week ago. Ranked Silver. Improved in a 5 year absence to the game
Me too, went from bronze to low diamond
started playing yesterday, am gold cus i watched winter for 2 days straight
lol
I went from grandmaster to immortal
Nice man! The jump from Silver to Gold really isn't all that steep! Here's hoping your climb goes well!
yes winter helped me jump bronze to silver3 in a week
thanks man great Video hope to see more in Future
just picked up sc2 since its free. keep up the good videos
this type of videos explaining the mechanics and how you should be thinking is what can actually make you better then once you master this you can concentrate on different build orders but you need all the basics down
You are a god, thank you so much for these videos.
Thanks for the great guide
Placed Plat2 after 2weeks, still battleing with the hardest vs of AI Thx Winter!
This helped me so much, thx
Thanks Winter. This video got me to gold league!!!
Such a great video. So helpful.
I have to say it really points out everything I hate about SC2 though - that it's a 'battle of macros', a mining game instead of a wargame.
Or maybe I'm just bitter because I suck.
The thing I like about Protoss is that the probes don't fuck around. they just place the shit that they need to place, and move on. They don't spend 5 hours building it, and they don't have to sacrifice themselves to create something. All hail probes.
Those videos are great. The best tutorials for bewginners since apollo´s. one thing im missing in your tutorial is actually finishing the wall in the main ramp, and facing a proper zerg rush. It might sound esay but im kinda noob with protoss.
My oldest brother is in the Gold League. He is best with the Terran. His name is SwoleMarine. That would be cool if you and him played a game and you made a video of it. He introduced me to your channel by the way so I could get tips. Because him and I tried playing a 2v2 online and I was beat within 4 minutes.. lol. I play as the Protoss and I'm not good at all. Your videos are very helpful. Subscribed.
I believe that the missing drone at 36:30 was picked up by an overlord. The overlord can be seen at 35:22.
That must have been the slickest getaway vehicle ever holy shit
Thanks for Video, you're the Best!
"and focus on upgrades" 0-0-0 :'D anyway nice to watch these videos bcas i can learn a lot. i just started to play as a protoss some days ago but playing SC2 since a year as zerg.
love the day 9
Very well done. 👍
Holy crap! The tab hotkey changes everything!
Ive never played StarCraft but this game looks like fun
This guy can be a HighEnd teacher if StarCraft is a subject
you are the best teacher!!!
If you want some more linkin park. "waiting for the end" and "burning in the skies" both are a little bit softer than their earlier music but lyrically are pretty deep
Definitely better than your early guides
You made me want to go back to play Starcraft :3
I liked the tip of holding my breath when watching the replay each time i´m supply blocked or not building probes but I think I would just die.
I had no clue you could use a warp prism to spawn units with the gateway upgrade.
My jaw hit the damn floor when he pulled that zealot move ;-;
It's always good to go back to the basics. After a good rate of winning, you can lose them quite easily.
now with this free to play i am learning starcraft
Tip for quickly spreading/splitting your army right b4 a battle?
Please make more guides like this
THIS IS GREAT!!!!!!!
i'm new on this chain does he do live on twitch or smthing ? Because those videos are rly good and i'd like to see more :D
You are the man!
Love the video. I have a question though. The triangulation of the pylons around the nexus is it necessary now that MC have been removed? Only thing i can think of is expanding build radius while maintaining super pylon radius.
Verry nice vid !
Gracias amigo!
Pls, update terran guide! Love your vids btw
Does the warp prism warp in like a super pylon or a regular pylon? Love your Twitch and your YT videos Winter, keep it up!
John-Eric Clements super pylon
Thank you sir, appreciate it!
The most fun race to play with but the hardest!
Ur awesome! Hello from Brazil :D
8:00 those Artosis pilons make me nervous
Thanks!
Thank you! Hopefully you enjoy the low APM challenge as well!
Now this is what I call good helpful content
Thank you
winter daddy at it again making plebs like me GM like him.
I might've missed it, but do you/does WinterStarcraft have any video to explain how to use all these quick commands? I'm simply doing campaign so I haven't been able to pick up any of those skills besides stutter stepping with right click > a + left click. Or any video to explain the best way to group units maybe? Just a new player trying to do things quicker and more effective.
