Three StarCraft 2 Keys to Victory

StarCraft 2 has been selling well after the anticipated 10 year gap since the first game came out.

First, having a fast knowledge of build orders is essential for dominating your competition early on and just like the first game is one of the major StarCraft 2 keys to getting an advantage over your opponent early on. The build order is just that, the order in which you build up your forces. Each race has their own set of units from basic to advanced so each race is going to have a different build order and within each race there are different ways to go about building your forces depending on what kind of tactic you want to pursue whether that's air attacks, ground attacks, etc.

Setting your different forces to hotkeys and having a fast working control over them is important for being able to macro well or maintain quick control over your entire forces so you can quickly pick and move different units immediately just by hitting the corresponding key as well as react to threats. Speed is obviously one of the most essential StarCraft 2 keys to develop also just like the original, if you don't have a good grasp on build orders and key keys, your opponent will have the edge on you the second you fall behind.

It's also important that you focus on one race to learn their ins and outs. It's more important that you be skilled with one race if you want to be competitive rather than being decent with all three. Once you've mastered one race, try the other two so that you can learn the basics about the kinds of units which they have and use so you can better defend against them when you play as your own race.

Also, use a guide to learn micro specific tactics like playing 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3 and so on and with each race match up as you can learn lots of things from the elite players of the game to learn tricks and tactics as well as other StarCracft 2 keys which you can't learn about easily on your own without extensively playing the game yourself. The user made guides are typically the best because they focus on not just the campaign mode but the best tactics for taking on opponents, again regardless of their race and style of play.
