Starcraft 2 Mastery Guide Review
The Starcraft 2 mastery guide is one of the newer guides on the market, hence why it has taken me a while to write my review of it.
The first thing that caught my attention when I logged into this guide was a tab that said SC2 Videos. I clicked on it immediately and was presented with pages upon pages of Starcraft 2 videos.
Wow now this is really impressive, each strategy he has is presented in video format! Oh man! This is awesome, it is so much easier to learn new strategies by watching rather than reading!
Wow it is amazing, the whole guide is a video guide! Each and every strategy is a video example! This is superior to any other way of learning I’ve previously encountered! Do you know how much more difficult it is to read about these strategies? This is a fabulous resource!
He has a unit guide for all three races, and they are extremely detailed unit guides. What these unit guides do for you, is things such as listing all about the unit and its strengths and weaknesses, as well as the units best uses.
Another feature I liked was that if you click on a matchup, any like Zerg verses Protoss, he has games. These games are professional level games, and they are commentated.
So be sure to understand that you are receiving both commentated Starcraft 2 replays for each matchup, as well as for all these specific strategies. I saw a Zergling rush strategy, a Terran nuke strategy, a Protoss Void Ray rush strategy and a whole bunch of others as well.
The most important thing to know when your purchase this guide, well their are really two things. Firstly that you are not getting a campaign walkthrough, and secondly that you are getting the highest quality multiplayer Starcraft 2 strategy guide on the web. It is extremely organized, it would take you forever to compile these commentated replays yourself, so their is a lot of value here. But don’t expect a campaign walkthrough, if you want that try Shokz or Star2Pros.
Now I haven’t even mentioned yet the actual strategy guide e-book, partially because I just found it. Right when you log in their is a big message saying, “Click here to download the Starcraft 2 Mastery Guide”, a message I skipped right over. So I went back and downloaded it, and low and behold I found an over 100 page e-book loaded with pictures too.
Some of the images even have text overlay to emphasize points, this is a really high quality Starcraft 2 strategy guide. He goes over resource management, general and race specific strategies too. Then the rest of the e-book is detailed strategies for each of the races and unit guides, let us use one strategy for a case study.
So to give you a feel for his strategy guide, here is information on the Void Ray rush he presents to us. He discusses which game types and which leagues this strategy is suited for, then tells you why (which is important). He explains the most important goal of each strategy and important tips to remember while performing it. The strategy is then walked through step by step, starting with building Probes and your first Pylon.
As you can see this strategy guide is very detailed, easily comparable to Shokz and Joanas in terms of quality.
I am loving my Starcraft 2 Mastery Guide, in fact I’d like to go back to watching a replay right now =). So if you want this guide click on the book below and I’ll get you there.
