StarCraft 2 Low APM Challenge 2022! Terran Rank Up Guide - Bronze (Ep. 1)

Impressive that Winter has been playing SC2 for 12 years, when he is clearly 17 years old.

The intro is so inspiring I think I can cross the street without holding my mom's hand now.

Haven't watched or played SC2 in a few months, low apm was always one of my favorite series though. Can't stay away for long!

Had the game for a long time, but never played outside of campaign (play on a laptop with trackpad). Your tutorials have helped my game play with my laptop. Excited to turn a new leaf and play online after schools done.

It felt so strange seeing winter stand for the intro. I've been watching him for longer than I can remember, but I don't think I've ever seen him stand (except for the TEEEEEERAN!!! emote)

Oh we are blessed! Yes, it has been too long. Will try to learn and play again!

Super happy for the revival of this series. Was great to watch back then, happy to see it again!

That intro was inspiring. This is timely, just started playing with my 8 year old! The next Raynor is incoming

Another low apm challenge, at long last. I promised myself as soon as this released I’d finally start the ladder. Looks like that time has come. <3 Winter keep up the great content!

You’re instructional videos are all excellent. You have a very straightforward calm way of presenting your material and it’s really easy to pick up what you’re putting down. I appreciate your work on these, they’ve helped me come a long way in my skill level and made StarCraft a lot more fun for me.

I am super excited for the large quantity of long commentary videos coming up soon! Been listening to the 2020 low apm challenge ever since it came out, it will be great to have every race represented as well in the individual series, though we both know itll take a long time. Thank you Winter!

That opening monologue. Winter's turning into Kevin Spacey more and more every day. And yeah... looks like I’m gonna be playing SC2 again, LOL.

Hi winter. I am that one Terran you got to play a game of starcraft. That game was in fact my first game. I made my barracks and started making my marines. Then a reaper jumped in my base and started murdering me. As advised I didn't panic and it lived there for a moment while my marines where builing (it killed the first three). I thought "Well this guy is likely not building workers while this reaper runs rings around me so I will max out and murder him. I died to a tank in my mineral line a minute later.

Winter, you'd make a hell of an inspirational speaker. We'll need you to lead Earth's armies when the Zerg arrive.

I never knew you could use tab to choose different buildings in a control group!!? Thanks winter!

As a new player back in 2020 with no familiarity with RTS aside from making maps in AoE 2 my starting APM was around 25, but once I knew what was going it did average around 50. Trying to grind out of silver and on good games I will hit 90 but usually around 70. Good Numbers!

The last low apm inspired me to play and got Terran to Plat 2. Looks like I need to get back on the ladder again 👍

YAAAAAAY the bronze league hero we didn't know we needed

Thank you for doing an improved version of the low APM challenge. As a metal-league player, it gives me a sense of what I should focus on in order to improve.

Listening to those questions at 1:30:00 - 1:43:00 - you have so much patience. Quick summary: How do I counter a (dubious North American) build? 1. run the replay through a build order stripper 2. Practice the build as the cheesy (North American) 3. Create a new account on the European ladder 4. Play the build for your placement matches If you go 5-0, bring it back to North America and get #1 on the ladder. If you get crushed on the European ladder, 1. run the replay through a build order stripper 2. Practice the build as the European 3. Always win against that (North American) build as long as you identify the dubious build early by scouting.
