Explaining WC3 (while playing) To SC2 players - WC3 - Grubby 

It's tricky because there is more randomization in warcraft so weighing the value of weapon/armor upgrades always depends. Better is better but double upgrades (like a double ebay or Evo chamber) is too resource intensive

he is really bad at explaning the game to be honest. he played for too long xd he don't have root and gets to the point. he should talk abotu how to make keybinds or if you click on your barrack and then on your hero, the units will autoamticlly go there when they spawn,... things like that. also when he played he often focus too much on micro and not on basics like using resources imidietlly when u have them etc. also wasting a lot of energy and wasted movement

@@Dualities he explained it to someone who is already familiar with SC2. So keybinds , way points etc is known. For my part I think Terran is equal to Human, Zerg either NE or UD, Protoss equal to Orc. How easy each WC3 race can expo wouldnt be my criteria. I'd rather compare buildings structure and units.

​@@Dualities you're really bad at absorbing information, aren't you? He clearly stated that he is explaining this to someone who's not new to RTS, but new to WARCRAFT 3.

@@Dualities the drooling wojak with a missing brain meme applies to this fella

So secret 17 rifles, presumably the oppo must be actually entirely blind not to notice that build up.

In case Grubby never makes the video you request: I highly recommend ViBElol's youtube channel, well specifically his B2GM series, he does one for each race in SC2. But you should get to know the basics of the game first. Races: *Terran* (human) - Easiest for first time players, but 2nd hardest to master. Jack of all trades. All units are ranged. Good mixture of weak and strong units. 2nd most mobile race. *Protoss* - Highly advanced aliens with psychic abilities. Slightly less intuitive than Terran for first time players, but easiest to master. Tend to have strong but costly units and are frequently outnumbered by races that have cheaper weaker units. Least mobile race. *Zerg* - Biological only alien race (even their buildings are biological and living) with some units having weaker psychic abilities that have swarms similar to how bees and ants operate. Most difficult to learn the basics, but tend to win most tournaments these days. Have weak, cheap units, but lots of them. You have 2 resources, Minerals and Vespene Gas, Minerals are you foundation and everything has a mineral cost. Gas is required for powerful or specialized units and all of your upgrades, but getting gas too fast is a common noob mistake. SC2 is all about _spending_ more than your opponent, which means you have to make more than your opponent. Basically, more stuff beats less stuff. Macro > Micro, you can get to Diamond league without microing at all - which shows how critical it is and how much players still struggle with it. Speed always matters, kind of like having a lvl 5 hero at 5 minutes vs 10 minutes. That's why very tight build orders are part of being competitive, but you wont' need to worry too much about that until you have the fundamentals down. You can get to Gold with only loose build orders. The complexity comes from reading your opponent, from what I can tell WC3 is more forgiving with being aware of what your opponent is doing. Basically, if your Army is bigger than theirs, but their economy is bigger than yours, you're on a timer to deal damage to slow them down so that they don't grow faster than you until they can kill you. If your economy is bigger than theirs then most likely their army will be bigger, which means you need to focus on delaying the game without taking damage so that you can cash in on your economic investment. Once you're on the higher up on the ladder, 30-60 seconds of not paying attention to what your opponent is planning can end the game.

My recommendation if you want to play competitively: 1) Play for fun all 3 races while you figure out the mechanics and unit counters and the basics of the game. Campaigns can help a lot with this. 2) Once you have a race you prefer, stick to it. You'll also figure out what play style you tend to do. Do you wanna start fighting as soon as possible or do you want to build a massive army? 3) Once you have that figured out, pick *one* build order. You can play that build order fairly loosely until Gold. If you only play on the weekend occasionally and it takes you longer than 6 months, go to step 4 Note: Aggressive build orders will help you climb quickly, but you're more likely to plateau, greedier macro build orders will have a steep learning curve, but will set you up with a better foundation in the long run. Both are viable. 4) This is when you want to watch the B2GM series for maximum effect - or if you're struggling to get to Gold. I recommend watching at least Bronze to Diamond 3 no matter what level you're at. 5) Focus on getting that build order as tight as possible until you get to high plat or low diamond. Then you can start learning 1 or 2 more build orders. If you started with an aggressive one, then you need a econ macro focused build order. If you started with a macro build, you need an aggressive build order. Any player can get to Diamond if they learn the fundamentals of the game well. Too many players stagnate because they try to learn advance techniques too quickly. The rankings are like this, imo as a Diamond player: *Bronze to Gold*, is little league, we're just happy they're having fun, but half the time they score on themselves. *Platinum* is Middle school. They know the basics of the game, but not well. This is when the Dunning-Kruger effect will hit hardest, so they're tempted to try advance techniques - it's a mistake! *Diamond* is Jr. High. They know the basics of the game quite well. They can start trying advance techniques (like micro), but their macro tends to suffer - the mistake is thinking it's worth it to get the benefits of micro. Macro > Micro. *Masters* is High School. They have great macro and good micro. *Grand Masters* is Collegiate. They rarely make mistakes with their macro even while they're microing. Their micro is advanced, but not perfect. *Pros* are Pros

@@xitaris5981 thanks so much for this!

Ikr so weird

As a SC2 player and WC3 noob, I strongly disagree. When I was a kid, I played WC3 like I played SC1, but now looking at how good players play WC3, it feels like a completely different game. WC3 seems like playing a MOBA while playing an RTS at the same time, but somehow the MOBA part is more important?

10 ofc

He clearly has a different definition of what good is.
