You need to start a video game review blog, like that British fuck who talks at 6,500 miles an hour, I forget his name. Perhaps you are actually him?

I played a lot of starcraft 1 and warcraft 2 - 3 but I've yet to try SC2 but I suspect it's the same. Learn how to rush and how to defend against a rush is about the main things to learn honestly, at least that's been the case with all their other RTS games. I'm gonna have to hook myself up with a pc and start gaming on the pc soon. Xbone titles just aren't that interesting to me at the moment.

Ignore micro. Focus solely on macro (making units). You can pretty much hit diamond using marines alone, if your macro is on point.
Once you feel your macro is getting better you can include more units into your build.

PS: ALWAYS get combat shield upgrade for your marines.

gotta hot key your buildings to maximize how quick you get your builds out and then time that shit so you don't forget.

Kinda the same as how you'd time power up respawns in q3...

My best tip is to follow this series on youtube. Each video is around 20mins, but it's worth it. Sc2 is a game that takes a FUCKLOAD of time to get good at. I used filter's Wings of Liberty guides back in the day, and it helped me a lot.
