Starcraft 2 Strategy Guide

By Boris Steber


Craving to Buy a Guide to Starcraft 2? Know What a Decent Guide should Contain First

You should know that only some Starcraft 2 guides were actually written by the pros. Most of them are bad or just imitations. The professionals condensed their months and years worth of experiences unto a Starcraft 2 guide for "noobs" to move forward to the Diamond league faster and easier. Almost all Starcraft 2 players ranging from beginners to advanced may benefit from most guides.

If buying a Starcraft 2 strategy guide comes into mind, this article will provide you the essential elements of a great guide that will help you find the best. Put in mind that these guides wouldn't instantly transform you into a pro. Understanding more and practicing often is what is needed for one to be a champion. Do also keep in mind that constant practice and joining competitions are the tools that make you better. You must learn and understand the basic principles underlying these strategies and more importantly use it; for it is not possible that one becomes an expert by just reading guides alone.

Here are some good tips which could be helpful in choosing what type of guide suits you.

1. Find out about the author. Investigate the person behind the guide. Answer the question: is the author a professional who played in the Diamond League? For instance, some writers are well respected as pro at other games. This is a sign that you can trust the author.

2. It boils down to advanced versus basic guides. Let me tell you that not everybody can write advanced guides, but anyone can write basic guides even a neophyte writer can. If you're a beginner, you might want to have advance strategies as well as basic ones in your guide.

3. Another important thing you need to consider is that if these guides would help you develop your own strategies. Some guides would only offer strategies but better guides help you create your own.

Starcraft 2 is always evolving. If the author can't keep up with the updates, don't buy his guide.

4. An organized guide with step by step lessons coupled with videos and screenshots is a great guide. You should try it.

Last but not the least, before finally deciding to buy a guide, you must also consider having access to a "members only zone", the likelihood for chatting with professionals, events, forums, etc.

Nowadays, there are more and more guides on Starcraft 2 emerging in the market. But which among these have the greatest strategies? When searching the net for a decent guide, you end up finding millions of guides and end up being immensely confused.
