Managing Your Resources
If you have closely observed any player in pro StarCraft 2, you will discover that most of the times their resource bar is always near zero. The reason for such is due to the fact that they tend to be making use of their resources in building or upgrading. As soon as they meet the requirements for building in terms of resources, they start building and upgrading. It is either your enemies are producing something or you are the one doing it. If your enemies are building it before you then it makes you to be at a great disadvantage. One good sign that you are not doing bad is when your resources is near zero. This is because it shows that you are making very good use of them.
Constant Scouting
Majority of the battle in this game will come having to gather necessary information. You have to identify the units which your enemies or opponents are trying to aim at you. This is one fact that you need to be aware of so as to increase your chance of winning. This is perhaps one of the major reasons why you need to scout often as well as early. If you want to determine their unit types, then you may need to scout for the building types that they are putting up.
You can also be on the lookout for expansions. After some time, you will discover that you have become very familiar with their builds. Also, you can predict the plans of your enemies and how to counter them in the best way possible.
Using Hotkeys
The more you understand how to make use of the hotkeys, the better you will be able to play this game without much hassle. It could be having to create units or even moving them from one place to another. The game menu is where you will find hotkey list to make use of. Most of them have customizable options. It makes you spend less time moving over from one place to another with the use of your mouse. In a nutshell, you will become more effective using hotkeys.
Build Orders
Each game comes with its own meta and StarCraft 2 isn’t an exception. In every race, there is a build order. They all have specific purposes and functions which they are performing in the game. For instance, 1 Barracks Fast Expand can be found in a Terran Build which is popular. This can be used in an effective way on maps most especially when it comes to ramping natural expansion from main base.
Building additional Harvesters
Harvesters have got some general rules which are three (3) per geyser, three (3) per mineral match. This will be able to total about 24 for every standard mineral field size. If you add the geyser (3), it should lead again to a total of about 30. Expanding to a new base will require you having to construct additional 30.
The workers which you are required to have doesn’t have any maximum number. However, if you happen to be harvesting from over two base, then you may need about 70 to 80 workers (harvesters) to help you maintain enough room for the adequate number of armies.
