Heyo nerdlings, just something from me about the guides/educational content. I would love to be posting more, but in that area suffer from some impostor syndrome. My anxiety comes from feeling incapable of doing a better job that I already have it the past (very humble I know) with guides and tutorials, and feeling like if I don't do better it's not worth putting out there. This truly isn't fishing for compliments (okay is 90% not fishing), but an explanation as to why I haven't had as much "Learn Starcraft" focused content in the past months. With that said I am pretty happy with how this series is going, it's a lot of fun once I work myself up (or down) to it!
Side Note: I know Vibe has been putting out a pretty popular Bronze to Grandmaster series recently and have heard very positive feedback! Since I'm not in need of metal league training all I know is he focuses on the basics of building more and better stuff than your opponent, which I agree is the best strategy to improve by far! If there are any similarities they come from both of us having years of SC2 experience (sometimes against each other) and learning painful lessons we try to help people avoid.
Hey winter your amazing!!!! I love your content and now you're definitely worthy!! :D
How did you fuck up one "you're" and not the other. Also thank you
Winter, you've been my top favorite starcraft content creator.
I've learned so so much from you, and honestly all you can do is just keep going. We'll get new generations of kids and young adults playing starcraft. And they'll stumble upon your channel.
They'll appreciate your entertaining personality, and your guidance. Your good natured attitude eased my ladder anxiety when I was struggling to even do an opener.
Never lose hope.

I dont feel like you´re repeating yourself. I learn something new each time you post these kind of things. Also I like your content the best because of your humor :) Always cracks me up
@@WinterStarcraft I'm just glad you didn't spot I spelled know as now xd
I hit masters league 5 years ago and i just today learned from watching this that mousing over the supply icon shows you how many workers you have
Maybe you got masters by cheesing :D
@@kamilpaka4301 yeah, and pretty darn good with cheesing too, ahem sewer mermaid
@@wayne3650 I am pretty sure Sewer mermaid can't differentiate between numbers to use this feature
i only learned this from your comment i couldnt see what he was doing
I'm pretty sure this wasn't a feature until recently.
Been playing on and off since WoL beta and blizzard likes to sneak little "quality of life" changes like this in all the time.

Winter: I'll be selection my race at Random.
StarCraft 2: You've Selected Zerg.
Same shit happens to me every time I play random. It’s always Z
I think this is because "random" is hardly random, but seems to use a normalization algorithm that seeks to get even numbers of T, P and Z players on the ladder. Since there seem to be fewer Z on EU server it ends up in more Z than anything else when selecting Random...
Always🤣
Played three games vs a mate the other day random vs random got zvp all three games
Not sure why I watched this, I've never played a single match of starcraft in my life, and I'm not entirely sure what is going on. But I enjoyed it!
SCII is free on Blizzard! and is 100000% worth the try :D
Cryptofascism
Alot is going on actually. Very interesting game try it. Starcraft.
It's free jump in
The absolute Madman
So you sit here, wondering if your guides are actualy helping players, and there em I, playing SC II multi for 3 weeks now, after finishing campaign couple of times, and guess what... I've took my time, played slow, played normals, tried to play makro games istead of cannon rushing my opponent, looked up on ma pylon and probes counts, then went on the ladder and now belive or not, after "just" 180 games I have acquired a Diamond 3 on Toss, and currently P2 on zerg!! By no means I dont think I'm good at the game actualy, but just from your videos and advices that you give, it became possible :)
Hey man, that's awesome! Congrats on your climb!
@Kompot1 why would you plat campaign multiple times? the best part for me was storytelling, and it didnt help with gameplay becuase unless you played wings of liberty, you can just a move most of the time.
@Kompot1 also wow 180 games to diamond 3. congratulations! you have a gift for this id say.
ree I've played the campaign 3 times on from casual to hard. The main reason why though is those cinamatics and story telling you can watch with enjoyment and learn something new each time
Played 100 games, still stuck in silver 1 :'( Just started watching those coaching videos.
3:12:00 me: "Oh good, he's finally playing terran. It's below my level, but maybe I'll pick up some fundamentals."
Me 20 minutes later. "So the key is to be on 10 bases. I may struggle with this."
The line you're looking for is "A victorious general wins first and then goes to war; a defeated general goes to war and then seeks victory"
Have to say Winter you don‘t have to be so judgemental considering your guides. No matter how repetitive, ppl nowadays can‘t focus on many times while learning and each repetition of things helps everyone catching something one quite missed.
I got back into StarCraft 2 because of your guides an sarcastic analysis and it never gets old. Keep it up u and beauty are by far my favourite StarCraft 2 streamers.
i mean they deifnitely can focus
*Obligatory complaint about lack of Terran games*
thats obviously because terran is WAY harder to play than other races and you could NEVER play it with 100 or less apm, those PLEBS MUST play zerg or OP Protoss to win x')))
(For people without common sense; this was sarcasm)
@@synka5922 I play Terran and I barely get 80 APM. And I'm pretty good.
@@fakechloe207 I even wrote down that this was sarcasm for people like you who are too braindead to understand, but even that was apparently not enough for some peoples stupidity.
Also, who the fuck responds to a 1 month old comment...
@@synka5922 lmao if you responded to his response to your 1 month old comment, it seems that doing what he did is not wrong
@@stefanlupsan5362 thats because I get notified when someone responded to me? I dont think that person got notified that I commented on a video a month ago
3:20:40 to 3:22:45 - Actualy made my whole evening
Probably more apm controlling stream than playing game
@@connorcrowley3264 That might actualy be true tbh LOL
Bronze to masters has been my favorite series that you've posted, im glad to see another!
the last TvT was so good looool the matching epic soundtrack, DJ time and everything, almos cried
As a person who does 30-40 APM, this is by far the series I enjoy the most and need to see the most.
how'd it go since then? did you quit, are you masters division now?
Bro, I haven’t played SC since broodwar AOL days, and just picked up SC2 and found you for guides... but that epic display of effects and sheer glory during that Terran game was absolutely epic and made me so happy to stumble upon your channel.
Winter: “I need an army that can fit into tight spaces”
Also winter: *builds Thicc Archon/Immortal army*
Nice love this low APM series.
The Winter Crab Rave never fails to make me smile, laugh, and/or dance.
22:10 I remember back in WoL my first placement match when I'd just started, I scouted because that's what day[9] told me to do and looked around to see any of the things he'd told me to look out for . . . and didn't see anything useful because my opponent had as little idea about what he was doing as I did; so I built 10 slow lings (forgot speed because first time MP jitters) and just killed him and then we had a nice chat, it was his 2nd placement match, he'd won the first one lol. While scouting I remember thinking, a lot, "is he cheesing me or is he just bad?"
@sirgaz scouting can sometimes just not work for that reason in lower leagues xD.
"i scouted because that's what Day9 told me to do" yup, yup. That sounds about right. Scouting doesn't really become useful until your opponents becomes competent. You can just put 1 decent unit(not a zergling) somewhere in front of your opponents base. If it dies, that means he's coming across the map to kill you. I guess you could also spot a dark shrine. So there's that.
Winter with the super high tier strats. That single LOOOOOOOOONG distance mining SCV to lower the potential minerals of his opponent. Brilliant.
Im honestly impressed you dont let in on the temptation to just say "oh its on" and going full apm to stick it to cheesers :D
Wow! Gosh, I loved your previous low-apm series (frankly, I've watched them several times) and learned a LOT! It's so cool you've decided to reboot it to stay up to date. Thank you so much!
41:13 "Heavy Units include your mother." LLLOOLLL!!
"There are massive units, but she did not make the cut"
Woah i love the light spreading effet on his keyboard
Well i m terran and i m watching this video, i see 2hours and 40 minutes for a guide.... and i found only a failed cannon rush.... fellsgoodman
Now your ready for that anti cheese
Aren't we all terran? Literally
"More shit counters less shit." - Josef Stalin. 1945
ok, i wanna say awesome thanks winter, i watched this went on sc2, won 2 games in a row even as i was being cheesed.Thanks a lot my man
The whole bit in that last TvT, before he jumped all those battle cruisers really cracked me up.
I just found your channel and this series "Learn... Low APM" has taught me a bunch so far. I appreciate this type of content. I find it amazing that you can talk during your playing as I feel like I don't even blink when I play. Thanks again for this content.
Ive played starcraft since 2004 and every time you post a new guide i always learn something new or a better way of doing something old, plus you have some of the best commentary of all the sc2 casters. Winter your truly important to the community and i for one always appreciate the hard work you put into these guides. So thankyou for your service! Also more pro castings please i love them. Favorite caster by far
Hey Winter, thank you for posting this, this video has helped a lot with my play styles. I watch your angry coaches, but found this series to actually help a lot, this episode specifically helped a lot because you're playing marginally slower than your normally do, and you're explaining in depth why you make the decisions you do and when to build what. Attacking timing helped a lot, along with how to defend more efficiently
I love these kinds of series!!! Low APM showcase is one of my favorites types of videos!
Ive enjoyed this series so much that this is my 2nd time watching it from the beginning, top notch entertainment thankyou winter!
Great video, I love these series. I'm back to playing after a multi-year break and enjoying it thanks to your tutorials. Keep it up.
I'm just getting into SC2, and I typically play more casual games. Just wanted to say this guide has been extremely valuable, thank you for the awesome content and keep up the good work!
I love whatever you put out, your unique personality is enough, let alone your interesting takes on challenges.
I know this won’t make you stop stressing about achieving more than previous but hopefully it’ll ease you a bit.
The DJ session was absolutely amazing :D I loved it!
Great stuff! I play SC2 with my son and we are learning tons of stuff from your channel, especially the low APM series. I just wanted to say thank you :-)
Leaving a comment for the algorithm, used to watch your twitch a lot 6/7 years ago, glad you are still around.
This just happened to be one of the best sc2 videos Ive ever seen. GG! Onwards to part two.
I don't know why but your pasta analogy made me think of WingsofRedemprion wanting to go to Egypt but not to see the pyramids or something like that instead because he wanted to eat at the McDonald's near Giza
Thank you for this video. I havent played starcraft in ages and was looking to understand the game a bit more. This was really good for that.
I would watch these learn starcraft videos even without gimmicks like limiting APM, I mainly like the commentary during each game. Keep it up! :D
Love that you do these! Lots of value and great sc content.
Hope to catch ya on the ladder when you breeze through plat 😆
I learned a lot, Winter. I liked the talk about the advantage of going +1attack over armor. This reminds me of good old Winter days w a much higher production value.
so glad i found your channel mate. i am an old sc2 player and when i was playing i was at plat 3, years after i decided to comeback to the game but i found out that my mechanics had been gone for good :P
now i believe there is hope for us lower apm players
I'm 1h in, this is really good content, making me want to ACTUALLY start playing starcraft for once
Brilliant ending and brilliant speech! Timed to the sc2 music! Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! A heartfelt thanks from a desperate toss player who won 5 games in a row after watching this. En taro Adun! Forward!
I love your content man, your helping new players like me out a ton!
These kind of videos and motivations are the main reasons why I love you man!!! Please never change!
Great new vid! Love this style. please keep them coming.
I got back to SC2 this month and what I learned from this video is to master a safest build regardless of what the opponent is doing and go from there.
This video was great! I average 50 to 70 APM and seeing how to make those actions "higher quality" has already paid dividends.
Thanks for the amazing Terran content, it truly was the most informative game you played that day
The only thing I learned as a Terran player was how to be a wannabe DJ while making mass BCs.
Hey winter, after playing starcraft since Brood War, your guides got me to diamond. Keep it up man
Hay Winter, loving this vid. I watch a lot of pro-ST2 but only ever completed the story campaign because I've been scared of multiplayer. I would defo panic at a reaper... Anyway, had a rubbish day at work and watching this for a bit has really cheered me up. Thank you!
So these videos actually made me better at AoE2. Just the concept of getting more out of your actions as well as more stuff beats less stuff goes a long way in lower MMR situations. Thank you for making these.
3h49mn later : did i really watch the whole thing ? Yes i did and enjoyed it (:
Love your content dude! Only just found your channel. You're really good at explaining and teaching, but also hilarious! Keep up the good work mate!
I started to play starcraft 2 since 10 days, thanks to your guide I made through plat at my first time playing this strategy game, I'm grateful, Thanks! keep the great job.. btw (Thanks for lowering your APM so I could see how it should be played xD)
I just wanna say to WinterStarcraft that I have been watching on an off for over 7 years now. And I'm glad to see that he's always making new content and still supporting such a hard game by doing his best to make sense of it to us.
Awesome content, my dude. Loving it
I really love these challenges.
Wow you don't even look while sending your army to attack! This is a whole new perspective for me. Thanks to you, now i know where i was messing up.
Thanks so much for your guides, I got put in plat 2 because of you! I am beyond surprise but I appreciate your effort for putting in low elo strats. My ranked games were a little weird, I got probe rushed, cannon rushed, bunker rushed, the one game I didnt get cheesed I just A clicked the base lol. You are a funny person and very educational towards the game. Very cute on a side note. Thanks though for everything!
These are so helpful. Thank you for doing them!
I'm actually writing down a comment just cause it helps you with that YT things even tho I have absolutely nothing to say. Therefore I'm losing my time but supporting you. Nice vid bro
Your videos have helped me so much. I started playing with myself but I found myself not being punished enough for mistakes. So i started playing with A.I. the difficulty was on very hard because I had previously only ran BC rush cheese because I'm trash at the game. I quickly dropped to easy difficulty after being crushed. But I'm slowly crawling my way back up and I'm feeling much more confident. I start to fall apart on the third base at about the 7 minute mark where I'm making so much money I can't think of how to spend it fast enough. But that's a good problem I think! Still grinding. Thanks for the videos 😁👍
those ad subtitles are just pure gold, thanks for that winter. Dont let your memes be dreams!
Edit: Nice Video btw
I love this series cause it shows you can chill while laddering
Finished this series. Wound up in gold 1. After not playing an rts since wc3.
I love the demonstration of the power of basic macro by not even looking at the opponent's base when he does the final attack. Just attack move across the map and win.
Thanks friend Winter, very educational, inspirational and funny.
First game Attack move into the opponents main and go on a rant until 3 minutes later when we get a gg. Awesome man
My son and I watched the end of this together. He's 4 and adores the crab dance.
Thank you very much for the insights and gameplay demos you've done here..
Im still utter pig shit at PvP but with this advice im busting it on medium campaign lmao
This was awesome! Thank you very much!
Me: patiently waits until 2:24:00 for the first Terran game
Winterstarcraft: we all know Terran players are all try hards.
Me: confused cat face
And it turns out the game was a 3 min failed cannon rush xd lol
Good series. Great content. Love the learn SC2 videos
Loved this series starting to rewatch it
under 40? HA!! thats how i was during Wings in 2011. Never got me out of bronze until i got my APM to 60 and even then it took me a few years to get to plat finally. I look forward to watching you try though Winter.
Fun fact. 40 in Wings is actually more like 30 today. Back in Wings it was still in "Starcraft Time"....
Long story shortish:
Starcraft 1 shipped with 1 second being 1 second. It also included other speeds like Fast/Faster and Slow/Slower. The Koreans were like fuck this shit and set it on Faster all the time for esports. Faster was about ~35% faster than real time, meaning 1 minute in Starcraft Time was only ~40 seconds in real time. This continued into Starcraft 2 and up until Legacy of the Void. LOTV switched the in game timer to "real time" which is why all the upgrades like zergling speed that were 100 seconds before are uneven numbers now.
Summary: Being 40 apm in wings of liberty means you were even WORSE than I was struggling to bring myself down to for this series!
Boom roasted
@WinterStarcraft btw man, " Why did the Colossus fall over? Because it was IMBALANCED" XD
@@MLPDethDealr32 XD
That mass battle cruiser game was one of the best things I have ever seen.
Hey Winter. Just wanted to say your advice in this video got me my first legit ladder macro game win against Terran tonight playing as Zerg. You are dead right, more stuff wins. Thanks for the help! Big fan and a Twitch sub (y)
Winter, props to the editor of this video. I did my first the other day and damn.... I appreciate the work that went into this one. 3 Cheers for the editors!!
keep it up man I love the content brotha
I love this challenge. I have recently learned starcraft and am stuck at platinum. I know I make many mistakes but my opponents always have higher APM and low APM viable strategy is awesome for me, since I know increasing APM simply requires game time.
Hey. Calling out my Zerg play style accurately at 18:25 to 18:30 honored me. Thanks 👍
"If you skip ahead then... I hope I put an add here" hilarious
Thanks for this video! Good commentary.
Glad I hung out until the end. Thumbs up for the solar flare
I started playing on the ladder after you went off about ladder anxiety one time. Thanks to your videos I never even qualified to send in a true bronze league hero's replay. I also really enjoy how you sugar coat neccesarily harsher criticism with sarcasm. I think it works because it's hilarious. Long story short: there's 100 people doing everything on the internet. What you are selling is you. And people want to buy.
great music. Also, the idea behind this video is great!
Came for the quality play, stayed for the quality banter
Last game was hilarious. Admittedly, not high educational value. But entertainment value thru the roof.
Started watching your videos so as to get myself back into the game and better my game play. I re download the game and go in to look at my portraits to change it from previous I see that I have a Geoff iNcontrol pic and I was like sweet and then I seen it said in Memory I was like wait.. what? I then go to google and I find out that he has passed away at the age of 33 and instantly I was heartbroken. This man was hilarious and always did casting after his days of gaming in SC2 loved seeing him and listening to his humor. Here I am going into 2020 finally making a choice to come back to SC2 and I didn't realize that one of my favorite gamer has passed away nothing like coming back to the game to only be heartbroken.
That was Epic with the solar flare!!!!! Hahah!! Thanks Winter!
I'm so glad you kept rolling my race :)
18:10
I'm silver league and I can confirm the difference is intoxication.
41:11 certainly didn't expect that
