This is a 15 Minute "How to Understand Starcraft II" Video for people who may have no experience with the game at all. A second video detailing more complicated concepts pertaining to professional level games is on its way "Soon™". If you notice any mistakes in the video (besides the inaccurate Stalker HP number T.T), please let me know!
The Video, Script, and Reference Guides are all of my creation/compilation, using material owned by Activision-Blizzard (please don't sue me!). Feel free to copy, email, and print the guides as you so wish, both the video and the guides are good Barcraft material. Go build Esports!
