, the upcoming strategy game by revered game developer Blizzard Entertainment, no doubt you wondered how the game would play like. There are various videos and beginner guides available but none of it compares to complete strategy guides I read and followed the last few weeks.
Starcraft II strategy guides are designed to help both new and experienced players find out the exact tactics and strategies professional players use to dominate the tournaments and win games over and over again. They are full of helpful and insightful tips which explain the pros and cons of each race, unit and building in SC2. All these guides contain info specific for all three playable races: the Terran, the Zerg and the Protoss. Each race plays very differently than the other and has its strengths and weaknesses and these strategy guides fortunately tell you exactly what those are.
Apart from teaching you how to play each race, Starcraft 2 strategy guides contain information on the best build orders which tells you in which order should you produce units and make new buildings to make it as efficient as possible. Defending your base and attacking your enemy tips are also often included and are invaluable to keep in mind in every match. Additionally SC2 strategy guides have numerous videos showing you the tactics explained inside so you can see it in action for yourself. And best of all, all guides I read so far come with replays of real matches, so all you have to do is start one and see exactly how the author played and why his strategy worked great.
In short, Starcraft 2 strategy guides help immensely to familiarize yourself with the game and skip having to play hundreds of matches yourself to figure out the easiest ways to defeat your opponents. I highly recommend getting one of these guides even if you have some experience in SC2 because it's a very handy resource to have whenever you have questions about the game which most forums won't be able to answer, or pro players will not want to answer.
