Studythe replaysWatching StarCraftreplays for fun is absolutely ok but if you want to learn and get better, youhave to study those games. Get a lot ofreplays where one of the players plays your race (are you playing Terran?watching Protoss versus Zerg replays won`t help you that much).Start watching them,but do not hurry study their build order, unitselection, strategies, tactics, timing.What upgrades are they using?When are they expanding?Replays are betterthan videos at this point of course because you can watch any place on the mapyou want, set the speed as you want and track whatever you want (my favorite isProduction).Normally, the more skilled players you watch the better. Butthere is one exception imagine you are an intermediate gamer, play Terran andstruggle with defending against mutalisk rush. Watching how pros deal with thisthreat won`t help you because their micro and multitasking abilities are beyondyour reach. So in this case it makes more sense to get some replays of playerswith similar or slightly higher skill and take a look how they manage tocounter mutalisks. Watchreplays with only one player visionThis technique evenimproves the efficiency of watching replays. Just switch off the vision of oneplayer and leave only that one who plays your race. Now you can easily see hisreactions, decisions and changes in playing style and strategy.For example he has just scouted that his opponent is going to rush him with Dark Templars how did he respond?You can reallyunderstand the player`s thinking by watching replays this way. Watchyour own replaysThis point is one ofthe most overlooked and underrated ways of getting better at playing StarCraft2 so get an advantage over the others!Whenever you lose agame, watch the replay and find out why you lost you will be surprised what you see! Very often you will find out that youcould have won that game with a slightly better scouting, not making somemistake etc.I developed a habitof watching replays of most of games I lost and some I won you can too. These are justreally simple hints but I can guarantee that from every replay you watch youwill get a lot more information and knowledge than you got before.
