At some point, this will be your bible for beginning SC2. At some point, I'll come up with a better name for it.
For now, it's the in progres manual for players just starting out with StarCraft 2 to use as a resource to begin to structure their practice effectively and how to learn effective strategies as well as efficiently track their goals and progress. Laddering for the first time can be a daunting experience, especially after you watch pro players like Idra, HuK, MVP, Puma and Naniwa and at what can be thrown at you, even at Bronze League level (read: constant 3-rax, 6-pool and 4-gate), and I want to create a document that will help allieveate the concerns of new players, as well as giving them a good chance at success quickly.
Building on that, I want also add supplementary articles with race specific tips and strategies. Naturally, as I am a Terran player, these will take a Terran-focus to begin with. That said, I will hopefully be able to source some content for the other two races, whether it be written by myself or by one of the very experienced players we already have in the community.
At the moment, it’s just three summaries of Newbie Tuesday Day[9] Dailies on ‘How To Get Into SC2’ and two on Stealing and Refining a Build. The plan is to summarise more Dailies to give players a digestible format to take in the information without having to watch the one hour+ daily itself. As time goes on, I'll begin adding information from more sources, hopefully ending up with the full on start-to-finish guide from picking up the game at the local store to getting out of Bronze League and on your way to ladder greatness.
The latest version of the notes can be found HERE (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n5ZP__63tVpNdtFPFu8xFDEKdcwEa_gFK5vzWXnrXD8/edit)
As always, any comments on how to improve the guide would be appreciated. Also, if you feel you could either summarise a daily or contribute an article to the guide, either post below or PM me.
