Narrating Build Orders in StarCraft 2

Hi everyone,

coming back to SC2 after a 12 year-ish break it is really fun and delightful to see that there are still people playing and enjoying this game! Especially in this subreddit the general vibe I get is very positive even though there is the occassionaly rant. :)

To improve my own skills I started to created narrated versions of build orders. I prefer to listen to a build order over reading it mid game. Don't know about you but my eyes are already busy enough checking all sorts of things when I am in a game. Ears however, not so occupied. :)

Since these narrated build orders turned out pretty good, I wanted to share them with you, so I decided to upload a first batch to Spotify. Check them out if you feel the same way about build orders the way I do.

Find the Spotify build orders;
for Terran here:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5wDoAVBT7nasxaBQkAH3pg
for Protoss here:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5IdqZ4kxxA0D92CtMD2F94
for Zerg here:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1JvID03kUesuS5hmzV8iGU

I either start the build order "song" on a second screen the moment the game starts and then hop back into SC2 or listen to the "song" over my smartphone on my desk. It is a wise move to turn down in-game audio a bit, if you want to try this. I am sure there is room for improvement when it comes to integration but it does the trick for now. Feel free to suggest solutions!

If you are confused about what I am talking, I also made a quick YT video on it. You can watch it here:

Let me know what you think about it!

Cheers,

Faux (not sure why I have such a weird username on reddit...I tried to change it.)

To the admins of this subreddit:

I have read rule 4 of this subreddit and, to my understanding, adhere to it. If you disagree, feel free to let me know what changes should happen, to make this post compliant with your rules. Thank you for looking over this subreddit!

I've finally beat the 11110 achievement barrier!

So, after YEARS of playing, finally got my biggest milestone so far as achi collector. Getting 10k was easy, after that, some of them are actually grindy/hard to do. See you all fellow achievement hunters, what is your score boiz? Post some in the comments!

I met someone earlier today on the ladder called MarineRush and that is all he does. As far as I can tell he woke up early in the morning today and has been doing nothing but proxy rax for at least 10 hours straight.

How do I fix these white border lines in models?

Good evening everyone, I just reinstalled StarCraft 2, and I decided to play the campaign, not competitive, campaign.

I set the game in default and send me to everything at High (I'm Spanish speaker as you can see in the photo). Now, my question is, why are in game models having those weird white lines, even during gameplay I can see a weird surface in the models.

I tried to activate the anti aliasing in the graphic settings but it doesn't work, so any tip would be appreciated.

I just honestly want to play the campaign in a decent way, my computer can handle modern games at 60fps, so seeing StarCraft having these issues makes me wonder if I'm touching something I shouldn't, thanks 👍

StarCraft2 wol campaign on hard

It's driving me Insane. Most of the Times i need at least five attempts to fullfil the Main objective. A few days ago i played the Missionn where you collect Minerals for tosh on the lave planet for 2 HOURS. Yesterday i played the Mission where you get the Siege tanks and i couldn't even collect the Bonus objectives.

Im close to Putting the Monitor Into the wall.

What if We gave soundtracks to the sub factions?

Like what if the Taldarim, Primal Zerg, Ceberus, Purifieirs and Umojans and stuff all had distinct themes from the base factions? what might they sound like, what tracks might you use for a custom campaign centered around them?

I can start with my Pitch for the Simulant/Mecha Zerg. The OST for Machines: Wired For War.

The number of players who instantly surrender because they dont want to fight ZvZ is insane. Does this also happen with TvT and PvP?

Tonight I think I had about 15 matches where the other player gave up immediately because it was a ZvZ. Wondering how unique this is to Z or if it's all mirror match-ups.

Co-op Missions Difficulty as a Noob

Heyo
I'm back to Sc2 after 10 years. Mind you i was a bronze noob even at that time.
Co-Op Missions are a lot of fun for me, playing Raynor.
I loose about 50% of "Brutal" Missions unless i get hard carried by some Master player who just runs around with 1 million units minute 3 (i dont even understand whats going on there).
At what difficulty do veteran players struggle with? Brutal+2? No Difficulty whatsoever? Its very hard to grasp whats referred to as "really" difficult as a noob like me
What difficulty isnt even achievable for someone like me?
(I got like 50 APM and use like strg-1 to 5 and can divide my army AT MOST in 3 seperate units, THATS IT!)

Getting bored of TvT tanks + vikings - how to annihilate?

Every TvT match that I play now is just the enemy slowly expanding with tons of tanks, vikings and marines/liberators which makes for a very painful and repetitive matchup each time. What is the best way to annihilate this type of enemy?

Best Protoss strategies in 2026

Hey guys, I recently returned to StarCraft II after 5 years. I play Protoss and it seems like every other Protoss I play against are going all Stalkers with very little variety. I never really see robotics or air units. Are Carriers and a Mothership still a valid strategy?

I play a lot of 2v2 with my best friend (Zerg) and we used to have a pretty good thing going where he was strong enough early game to basically play 2 on 1 and I was strong enough late game to play 2 on 1, but I haven't been holding up my end of the bargain. Just wondering if I'm rusty or if Protoss air units have been nerfed.
