Starcraft 2 Desert Strike Basic Tutorial - Gameplay
I'm just going to do a basic tutorial on how to play desert strike custom map, this game is new to me, actually this is my second game and I only seen it on top of the popularity list this week. I'm still a bit of a newb but the build I'm using worked out pretty good so far, so I'm just going to show you the basics and game play. I probably will make a tutorial on different strategies once I play this game a bit more.
You can pick different races for this game, and you get units base on your race, so far I only try Terrans. So this guide is just the terran build. I start off building some hellions, I mass up on them first because they are great for all ground starter units. Then after I get 6 or7 of them, I will build a barrack, one barrack is enough because you don't want to build any barrack units, you just need it so you can build a factory. Once your factory is up then I will get vespene gas, which increases your income, but also when you are upgrading this, you will have a time freeze on your income, so make sure your army is big enough to counter or hold your opponents units before upgrading it. Once your first gas is up, you can either expand your army or you can continue upgrade the other two gas, only do so if your army is countering your opponents easily. Make sure you upgrade your command center so you can have ravens and science vessels, once your opponent has invisible units.
The basic build for terrans is hellion, tanks, wraiths thors and later on battle cruisers. and you adjust the amount of units base on what your opponent is making. I normally go with hellion, some tanks then go wraiths before mass up on thors and battle cruisers later in game when you have a more steady income.
Terrans also get this special attack from the supply depot which is raining nukes and is able destroy most of your opponents units on the map, it cost 4500 minerals so you can only use it later in the game. I'm not sure if you can constantly make this supply depot or if it's a one time deal. I only used it once and I accidentally use it out of curiosity on my first game. The effects is very cool but I never have a chance to use it in this video.
Also for this game you have one boom, which works like a nuke and able to destroy all your opponents units. You only have one of these so don't waste it unless you absolutely need it. The boom you can use it for defense or offense. Only use for offense if you think your army can take out his desert fortress and win it, other wise don't waste it.
One last thing, you should build your structures neatly because later on if it turns into an epic game you will need as much space as possible for your army, other wise your opponent will out number you.
That's all for this video, when I get a few more games in I will make other videos on how to play with protoss and zergs probably, anyways hope you enjoy the rest of the video and thanks for watching.

Starcraft 2 Colonial Line Wars Custom Map Basic Tutorial - Strategy Guide
Today we are going to do Colonial Line Wars, this custom map just reach up on the popularly list this week, and it is one of my favorites. It's pretty much just a simple version of nexus wars and with out the lag. Nexus wars is a good scenario but the lag is just insane. The point of the game, make counter units and destroy Your opponent's construction plant. Once that is destroy you win. So this game is not a one man show, you need team work to win, so if someone is loosing their lane you need to head over there and help them out a bit if you can.
How to play:
You get minerals every 30 seconds, and you also get minerals every 10 seconds for each beacon you hold, the beacons are the circles in the lane, and you use those minerals to either make more of the units you have, or upgrade to higher tier units or upgrade your beacon income. your upgrade building is hot key at number 2 so you don't need to look for it.
There are 3 tiers of units, you need to use minerals and upgrade those units in order to use them. you also get one plea for help which is almost like an nuke, it will destroy all your opponents units that's in the lane. You only get to use it once so you better know what your doing with it. you can use it for offensive strategy or save it for defense if your loosing the land.
Basic strategy:
To start off the game, I normally go zerglings and make 4 of them, then I upgrade to hydralisk in the process and make 4 hydralisk, but you can go marines if you like. Depending on your opponent's build, I go with different units, so you need to learn what counters what unit. After I get 4 dyralik i either upgrade to tier 2 unit right away or i load up on some more hydralisk. and it is always a good time to upgrade beacon income when you have the upper hand on your opponent, because that will come very useful later in the game, so take advantage of it when ever you can. But make sure you don't over upgrade your income because then you will fall behind on your army. A lot of people do that mistake and end up loosing the game. :/
When I go tier 2 units, I go firebats if they have a lot of zerglings, or i go marauders if they go a lot of marines and roaches. I also get sentry if they go air or they go massive range units. I normally just go with 1 or 2 tier two units but of course that depends on what your opponent makes as well. For tier 3, ghost is a very very powerful unit and it's very cheap to make, so I normally go ghost first, then I go with immortals, ultralisk or void rays.
Also how you place your units on the land is very important as well, normally you want your melee units like zerglings, ultralisk in front, your short range units in the middle and keep your air and longer range units at the back. So when they come out to fight, they are already in good combat positions.
So that's all you need to know to play this game. The rest of the video is just game play, Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching.

Starcraft 2 BattleCraft Strategy Guide Tutorial
This is a 2v2 map so your survival depends on you and your ally, if your ally suck then I guess you're screwed but this game you will see my ally suck and died so they 2v1 me but I still kill them any ways.
The point of the game is build units to counter your opponents and destroy his pylon. The more units you kill the more income you will get. there are 4 unit structures and they are hot key from 1 to 4 1 is terran 2 is zergs 3 is protoss and 4 is your elite units, tab 5 is your pylon and in your pylon there are many features you can use your gas to trade for minerals or increase your income rate or use can you armageddon which destroys all your opponents units while leaving yours still on the screen. That's a very powerful feature and if you use it properly you can easily win the game with it or it can save you from being destroy right then. There many many different strategies involve in this game and if you can party with someone you know and coordinate your builds, then you can really have advantage over your opponents.
In this video I will just talk about the basic strategies to increase your chances of winning. First wait and not make any units till you see what your opponent is making so you can make a counter unit but if he don't make any units as well you will have to start it off, and what i normally do is start off archons or queens just to see what he will counter with, or if you want to be cheap use zerglings or zealots. Or you can wait till you have enough minerals and start off with a neutral combo that is good against what ever unit he might pop in. for example i like using Colossus stalker and marines to start it off. you do not want to wait till 1000 minerals to start attacking your units because he can use armageddon on you. Later on in the game when you have 3 gases what I normally do is trade that for minerals and if i have over 1000 minerals i throw in a fairly big combo of units, i like to use colossus, immortals, stalkers, zealots and marines. this combo works fairly well against most unit combos if you h ave more money, you can use thors, immortals stalkers Colossus zealots marines and some void rays or make a combo to your liking. I have a certain combo I use all the time but I'm not going to shares that here ha ha I'm still playing this game and don't want people know my combos. but with the combos I mention you will win most of your games. i play this game more than a thousand times already and I only have very few battles that lasted longer than 10 minutes. and I won most of them. even when it's 2v1. So if you want to get good at this learn the counter units first. That's all for this video, I might make a video later on with more advance strategies. Thanks for watching.
