subject: Starcraft 2 Mastery Guide [print this page] I've been playing strategy games since I was a kid. I had always been a Blizzard fan, I played the Warcraft series and the Diablo series. When I head the StarCraft 2 Beta was coming out, I decided to apply to be in the Beta. I got in, and tried it out. I won 2 of my 5 placement matches and ended up in Bronze league, which wasn't as well as I'd hoped to do. I quickly realised that StarCraft 2 was unlike any other strategy game I'd played. You need so much concentration and APM (actions per minute) to stay competitive.
I floundered in the Bronze league for the whole length of the Beta, and when the retail game came out, I decided I needed some help. My friend, Alex, recommended that I pick up Shokz Guide. He had tried it in the Beta and he got into Diamond league in Beta phase 2. So I decided to try it out. It's only $37 and has a 60-day money back guarentee, so there was little financial risk in getting the guide. When I got it, it exceeded my expectations. It's a constant subscription: every update made to the guide you get for free. When the metagame changes and new builds are popularized, I am quickly updated with new content. It's great!
As for the strategies themselves, they are top notch. Within an hour of buying the guide I could already pull off the basic builds and I started to improve my macro a LOT (macro is managing your economy, building units, etc.) I was originally placed into bronze league before I got Shokz Guide, and I started moving up the rankings really quickly. I moved through Silver and Gold league with ease, and I'm currently in the top of my Platinum league, almost into Diamond! Shokz Guide has improved my game so much. I use the same builds as the pros do in top tournaments and I'm really enjoying myself a lot more than before.
So let me be your Alex. Let me tell you about this great tool that will really take your game to the next level. Like I said before, it's only a $37 one-time charge and if you're not satisfied, getting your money back is really easy. Other guides out there charge you monthly for their updates, but Shokz Guides only charges you once and still gives you valuable and essential updates. So do yourself a favor and go pick up Shokz Guide. You really won't regret it.
