    All of the guides recommended here are the highest quality guides on TeamLiquid. As such, they all show at least a few of the following characteristics:

    • Contains detailed discussion on the subject.
    • Proven to work. Thus, most of the strategies discussed in these guides have been demonstrated in pro level games.
    • Well organized and formatted.
    • Written by notable, respected writers.

    Many of these guides also fall under general categories such as General, Build, or Style, along with further identifications (Timing, Standard, Non-Standard, Opening, All-in, etc...) and are appropriately labeled.

  • Bronze to Masters, Improving Mechanics by Filter
    Guide to Mechanics, arguably the most important aspect in Starcraft.

  • How To Improve Efficiently at 1v1 by Cecil Sunkure
    A must read for all SC players. Show you how to improve 1v1

  • General Basic Guide by Robbz
    A guide to the most basic things. Great help understanding common SC terms; everything from APM to macro, along with certain settings newer players may not realise they should use eg. health bars.

  • (Wiki)Starcraft Definitions
    List of all common SC phrases and words

  • How to Improve by Ver
    This is a Broodwar PDF, but many of the sections, particularly removing false beliefs and skills, are applicable to SC2.

  • Analyzing Replays by Plexa
    Explains how to go about analysing your own play. Great place if you have no idea where to start.

  • Designing Build Orders by infinity21
    Walks you through the creation of a build order; how to refine; how to test etc.

  • Worker Split Guide by l46kok
    Neat trick to maximise mining efficiency in the early game

  • How to Play When You're Ahead or Behind by infinity21
    Guide showing how to judge whether you're ahead or behind, and how your decision making/actions should be determined by your situation.

  • TL Strategy Portal by Wo1fwood
    A compilation of all the TL Strategy team articles and guides

  • Writing Build Order Guides by Blazinghand
    Contribute to the Strategy Forums!

  • Unit Production Calculator by Haploid
    Figure out exactly the number of production buildings you can support on a particular number of bases

  • Build Order Timing Calculator by CarbonTwelve
    Plug details in, then gives you the optimal timing for a particular build. Generally speaking the the calculator will be faster than what you can achieve in game, but at least it gives you something to aim for.

  • Map Distance & Travel Time by Orek
    Reference material for how long different units take to travel from 1 main to another (maps being added as they are added to the ladder pool).

  • ~8% Faster Gas Mining by Orek

  • (Build > Standard) Bomber's FE into 3 Rax 1-Gas by Jazzman88

  • (Build > Opening) Haessebust: ZvZ Baneling All-in by TangSC
    One of TangSC's all-in build This one (2 gas baneling all-in) is usefull to improve your agressive baneling micro

  • (Build > Opening) ZvZ: Roach/Ling All-in (Or is it?) by TangSC
    Another of TangSC's all-iny guides

  • (General) ZvZ: building placement by Direstrait
    A simple building placement trick to protect your natural's queen.

  • (Build > Opening) A Guide on Early ZvZ: How to Stay Alive and Set Yourself up for the Midgame by Mavvie
    Usefull to know how to defend a standard, non all-iny ling-bane agression when you yourself open with a standard macro build. In other words, how to defend the early, non-alliny agression with your macro build in the early game. This thread only talks about build orders, though, and does not go into the micro matters. Skip the part vs 10 pool, however, it's outdated.

Protoss all-ins are like a wok. You can throw whatever you want in there and it will turn out alright.

Here are the guides I wrote, not sure if they are good or new enough for a recommended thread so you can decide that. =)

- [G] Vandroy's take on ZvZ
- [G] Mini-guide: Roach/speedling aggression(ZvP)
- [G] Mini-guide: Nydus queen/roach all-in(ZvZ)

Anyway great that you're taking the time to remake the thread since the last one was so outdated.

Ok, I'm done purging and reformatting the original thread so it's more readable/organized. Some threads are still boarderline on if I want to keep them or not. Going to start adding new threads.

Pretty much done. You guys can recommend threads to add. I noticed there's a lot less terran guides than ones from other races. o_O

And so ends my attempts at internet humor, I should have bolded the terran guides comment or something. Idk, I'm tired and jetlagged and emp is stupid. Double forge builds are fun though.
