I don't know if this is the right place for coaching, but anything I could have done differently?

Hi, I’m conducting a study on the experience of toxicity (insults, intentional feeding, grieving, trolling, etc.) in diverse competitive online games - one of them being StarCraft2.

I’m wondering whether you experienced any change in the level of toxicity since the COVID-19 pandemic. I would really appreciate your input! The survey is short, taking max. 5 minutes to complete. This is also the secound Iteration of this survey so don´t participate if you have already. Background: The study is led by Dr. Katharina Emmerich, a post-doc researcher at the University of Duisburg (in Germany) and her research focus is on digital games (yeah, turned the hobby into a profession ;) ). The data collected in the survey will be used to write an academic paper about player behavior in online games (no commercial use!). Link to the survey:

Thanks for your support :)

Hello everyone! Im the one who posted about requesting help and tips for a new player like me. So I just played my first three 1v1 games (as Zerg) earlier and I havent won a single one. Its totally fine with me but I would like to ask on how to deal with "rushes"? Or how can I do the same thing in my future games (to experience even a single quick win) ? I didn't expected it to happen on my first games tbh because it didnt happen to Vibe's first game in his bronze to master series.

​

To give context: here's what happened in my three games:

1st game (vs Protoss)

- at around 30 secs after the game started, he had a probe in my base and started building pylons and cannons, i expanded to my 2nd base already but he just did the same thing there. The game didnt last for 5 minutes because i had to surender since i really dont know what to do in that scenario.

2nd game (vs Protoss)

- game went well and i had expanded around 3 bases. then i tried attacking his base bc i was at max units. then after a while i got attacked by a very huge ship (its the mothership iirc) and my hydralisks just get blown up XD soon after, my expansions was teared down too.

​

3rd game (vs Terran)

- it was much like the 2nd game where i had expanded to 3 bases too but i got attacked earlier, where i had only around 100 unit capacity. i hadnt even had a hydralisk den right there so i couldnt defend the attacks (he had small flying ships that idk the name), he targeted my overlords so i couldnt spawn any units.

I was wondering if you guys could give me any tips regarding these? I had been following Vibe's first video on his bronze to master series and i think im starting to get the hang of learning macro. But I dont really know what to do if at 30 secs of the game there's a probe building pylons and cannons at my base or a VERY LARGE SHIP THAT HAS SHIPS INSIDE that i cant defend :(

I know I sound so stupid in this but pls know that these 3 games are the very first SC2 games I have played (i havent even played campaign). Your help and tips would be very much appreciated!

Hello everyone! I am a new player to StarCraft 2 (the game is downloading as i type atm). I played Brood war but that was way back early 2000s. I'm planning to quit a game I have been playing due to its very toxic community and go back to my childhood game. I haven't played a single game of SC2 in my life and when I watched videos of it, I couldnt understand a thing.

In line with that, do you have any tips to give to a very very newbie player like me? Anything that may help as long as you think an ex brood war player could understand would be very much of a help. Also, if you have, can you guys recommend someone to watch that has guides or is educational? Thank you very much!

My best friend and I play co op missions together he plays abathur since that's his main in Heroes of the Storm and I play Swann and I know I play a more of a defensive character but I feel like I'm not pulling my own wait during missions so any tips for my swann play? I think I'm level 10 so I have all the buildings unlocked

Hello.

My name is Tom, I'm 26 years old and been a competitive gamer for the past ten years.
I've been struggling with dysthymia and PTSD and have recently had to quit my job and my studies, so I'm looking for a way to make a little 'pocket money' online and I figured I would try to combine my interest with my needs.

I've been seriously playing SC2 since sometime in January and I have so far managed to get to the upper end of Diamond twice on NA and EU respectively, both as Zerg and Random.
Though I am fairly new to StarCraft, I have thrown myself into the universe with the extra time I've had on my hands recently, and this combined with my leadership and coaching experience from other games, I will deliver high-quality coaching sessions.

Given the circumstances, I will of course offer extensive coaching sessions at a low price with payment after the fact; If you don't learn, I don't earn.

If you are a Terran or Protoss player, I would be happy to coach you, but please note that Zerg is my main race and Protoss is my off-race. There is a lot of things to teach that are not race-specific, but please do keep this fact in mind.

Before we set up a session (or sessions), I would like to have a short talk with you, so we can make a clear plan on areas you would like to talk about/work on during the session itself, get an idea of the number of sessions and discuss a price.

Due to corona and my health, my schedule is fairly flexible, so I will make the session(s) work around your schedule.

So in short, if you're new to StarCraft, Platinum or below and you want some extensive coaching for a cheap price and at the same time help out a guy in need, please contact me and we can make a deal; if our first session doesn't meet your expectations, you can walk away without paying me a dime.

I only coach in English or Danish. Your timezone doesn't matter; if you're e.g American, I will make it work on your schedule.

You can DM me here, add me to discord, battle-net or send me an e-mail.

Been a longtime since I played. So I want to review what I learn before to see if I can get back into it.

Hi everyone

So I returned to sc2 after playing during wings of liberty. I'm watching quite alot of streams but still have some questions about the - for me - new units:

Liberator: When should they be used - or what are they good for?
Cyclone: Same question - is there some basic understanding when they should be built?
Hellbat/Hellion: Is infernal pre-ignter not a thing anymore? When should I use hellbats?

​

Hope, you guys can clear that up for me! :)

As the title says - this terminology pops up a lot and I don’t know what it’s referring to. I’m a noob obviously.

I would appreciate if you could fill this survey which may take you up to 10-15min.

Requirements: you need to be at least 18 years old; you have watched an e-sport(s) competition(s) online at least once in the last 6 months.
