Micro Management
Micro management can be one of the hardest things to learn in any real time strategy game. What is micro management? It is the process of utilizing the skills and talents of individual units. For instance take a unit who can use grenades. You can greatly maximize the damage output of this unit by using it when you want them to on large groups of enemies. Some abilities can be used automatically, but the AI most of the time will use it whenever it sees fit instead of the best time. If you can learn to use the abilities yourself in these situations then you can perform it much better than the AI.

Each race has its own strengths and weaknesses. If you know the strengths that your race has versus your opponent it can make the match a much easier win for you. You will even learn how to fight your own race, for instance Terran versus Terran. There are also different strategies that each player my use for each race and naturally there will be a counter for every strategy. Knowing these counters is essential for victory.
