Starcraft 2 Protoss Strategy

By Cedric Szechun


If there was a game of the year, Starcraft would be it for every year. It is the only game to have multiple tv channels based on it with various leagues which feature live matches. In South Korea it is a national sport which has many professional teams and is considered a multi-million dollar industry. In recent years Starcraft 2 has has spotlight attention as the sequel to the famous Starcraft brood war. Like in South Korea its successes in North America and Europe has been comparably to it previous counterpart. Now millions of players world-wide are playing Starcraft which has been a mainstream and de facto international e-sports game.

Although Starcraft 2 is the sequel to Starcraft brood war, it's characteristics are far from the same as the later. In many ways there are very close similarities but there are also very distinct game mechanics which defines Starcraft 2. As shown by example from the famous Terran emperor(Boxer), Starcraft 2 is a completely different game because even though the has been many world renown leagues such as the GSL;Boxer has not won any of them.This is the same Boxer who has won world championship 4 times running and has made Starcraft the e-sports game it is now.

The original Starcaft was by design to be very easy to learn and very hard to master. In many ways Starcraft 2 was also implanted with the same design philosophy. The original starcraft though featured wierd pathing issues that required you to understand the tips and tricks of each unit to work.

Therefore you cannot assume that strategies and tricks from the original can be sptransfered over. What this implies is that the game has to be rediscovered; this is exemplified by the recent main stream build orders which has been created. These build orders by the way were completely different from the original. Many strategies and tricks that have been found are also hidden away from mainstream players. This is where guides come in, these guides are written by dedicated players who constantly test out strategies. By using these guides you be ome up to date with the game with very little effort.

In game theory which is the study of how games are won, knowledge is a key part in winning your games. But often knowledge is only gained by the dedication to the game. So even though your opponents are not in the same skill level as you, they may still win due to the amount of time they put into that game. With Starcraft guides though, this factor can be eliminated.By giving you the knowledge you need to know, you can win your current games and allow you to be placed in the division which actually your skill level not the time you put into the game. Thus allowing you to enjoy the game even more.
