Starcraft 2 Terran Strategies in the new Patch

Bringing you guys another Terran post here. Today I am going to show you guys how to pull off some of the Starcraft 2 Terran strategy basics. A lot of Terran folks out there tends to focus on how to pull off some amazing strategy they just discovered while watching a commentary or replay. Today I am going to talk about some of the pitfalls of this approach and what you should do instead to master the skills of the Terrans!

Rush for that Strategy

For a lot of Terran players, they love to go for some kind of super unit or strategy. An example of this would be to rush for the Mothership, Mass thors, get battlecruisers. Its true that these units and the strategies involved are very POWERFUL. However, the game of Starcraft 2 Terran and especially for Terran is adaptability. Being able to adapt to the enemy's unit and tech choices. That is also why Scouting is so important in Sc2 as well. Being able to scout the enemy allows you to adapt to the enemy's strategy.

Build your SCVs!

The second thing I want to go over is macro mechanics. You need to build workers at all times. This is a rule of thumb that should be done throughout the course of the game. Often times, I hear players complain that they get swarmed or overwhelmed. Check the replay, chances are you didn't produce enough workers and didn't muster up a large enough force to defend yourself. Remember to get at least 3 workers per minerals. For Terrans, you just want to keep producing because once your expansion finishes, you can transfer half of your SCVs to work right away. This will allow you have a jump boost in mineral gathering fast.

Learn from the Pros, don't try it at home

Most people watch commentaries and replays on their free time to learn a trick or strategy from the pros like SlayersBoxer, TLO and QXC. Those pro player indeed have very interesting strategies like the thor drop or microing your marauders perfectly. These guys PLAY THIS GAME for a living! They practice endless hours in Starcraft 2 to master the timing, apm, execution! Therefore, it is not a good idea to follow it word for word. A better strategy for you Terran folks out there is to simply learn the idea of the strategy. Understand why it works and use it while you play.
That is about it folk, I've just listed 3 Starcraft 2 Terran Strategy for you guys. Be sure to learn and adapt to the enemy rather than learning some build to be cool.
