Because most strategy gamers have many traits in common like deep thinking, far vision, steel minded and always hungry to learn more.

Next, I will show you 5 helpful tips from my gaming experiences and other top players in the world. They helped me a lot. And although I can't beat every gamer on Earth, my winning percentages increase significantly when I apply them. Now, it's your turn to crush your enemy!

Tip #1: Memorize the maps of the game by heart

There is a fact when you go playing online with other gamers.

They use only a few maps to compete on. And it's your job to know every corner of the maps. By doing so, you will gain a significant advantage in the game.

In Warcraft III for instance, creeping is very important. It will help level up your heroes and equip them with better gears. If you can memorize the creeping spots and predict where your enemy is at some points of the game, victory is certain!

Tip #2: Be good with the basic strategies

Strategy games are all about strategies, right? Not really, but they play an important role in every game you play.

In Starcraft or Warcraft, you will see many basic strategies such as fast expand, tower rush, mass unit, etc. But don't let the word 'basic' fool you as they're very effective and usually do serious damages.

Only move to 'more advanced' strategies once you master the basics first.

Tip #3: Watch replays

One of my favorite tips is watching replays and I know it helps!

What is your favorite player? I’m talking about top players of the gaming world. It doesn’t matter what your answer is, just learn from him!

And the best way to do it is through watching replays. I've found out that almost all strategy games nowadays offer this function. Make good use of it.

Tip #4: Practice makes perfect

It doesn't matter how much you know. If you don’t take actions, you will never become better.

It’s even truer with PC strategy games with many skills to improve. Micro skills, map macro, strategy reading, base building, etc. If you just take a small amount of time everyday practicing them, you will see a big difference over time.

But you must start it!

Tip #5: Arm yourself with good gaming gears

You know what is the winning factor when two players are at the same level? It's the gaming gears
