- čas přidán 8. 03. 2019
- Breaking down protoss build orders, decision making and priorities live while playing against a spread of mostly diamond opponents (100% winrate). For protoss it is very important to choose a tech path early on and understand the strengths and weaknesses of that path so you don't get caught flat footed in the mid game.

Thanks for the video! I can't wait to study it to death and forget 90% in a game!
PaleGhost69 I can relate to this on a spiritual level
Facts! The second your create first probe
hahahahhahahahahhahahahah
I always play better after watching Winter. The first game is better, the other ones fall off again :D So the best way to play is watch a video, play, watch, play etc :D I guess I'm so immersed in the video that I start thinking faster as well.
hahahahahahaha same here man your not the only one
1:18:29 Nobody is going to watch a one hour guide
Starcraft 2 Players : MUST WATCH MOAR
Starcraft 2 players: 1 hour guide WHO THE HELL--- GIMME A TWO HOUR GUIDE
it's like you knew I'm over here returning to starcraft, learning protoss again. Thank you so much for this and your videos and streams.
Same been 6 years for me 😫
10 haha it’s a rough time
32:39 damn that shield wall storm
nuts
Seriously tho
blessed by the RNG god to give us the protoss guide
32:15 That whole sequence was beautiful, just totally outplayed the guy. The force fields into the psi storm was perfect.
It was fuckin nasty
that terran just sucked HARD, not only clumping up on the forcefield but not even pulling back after 6 storms... this is a good example of Winter making fun of his friends
@@LeCheeZy even before that when he had the medivacs out of position and little more than 1 tank out there and a few units. But that's the advantage of the scouting Winter is doing here it can help you ambush Terran.
That select all army hotkey does more damage than good, notice how the medivacs just walk into death with no army to heal. Winter should suggest all new players unbind it.
Loving this as always Winter! This really helps entertain me, and almost gets me out of my shell to go out into the ladder of Starcraft multi-player, and play it.
Anxiety is a huge pain, and struggling to fight it off.
Oooh! Even more guides coming out of the starcraft mastah! Thank you for the daily uploads Winter
Finally a SC2 player who NOT sounds like "better knowing", but a really calm guy, who want to pass on what he knows about the game. I like your calm style and polite way of talking. I am SURE if you keep on this track, the succes will come sooner or later. I for sure subbed this channel and would love to see more tutorial and guides from you. Thx for sharing and be a good person at the same time. Lowko could learn some from you, in the way of speaking to people. Thumbs up
Actually wanted to start learning protoss recently, thank you Winter for showing the way forward.
Thats exactly what I was looking for like 8h ago and now it's been uploaded
its a spiritual connection like overmind beetwen us
at 47:00 with Winter talking about diamond, it really struck me. I was silver all through wol and hots (never played it seriously) and then I ended up played for a year every day. Well I decided to get good with innovations 2-1-1 from my time watching in HotS. While it isnt a cannon rush, I flew through the rankings often winning with those 16 marines, and then I hit diamond and fell flat on my face against people who knew how to not die to it.
I have been struggling a bit to become better after reaching Silver lvl1 / Gold 3 and have kept being promoted and demoted back and fourth and after hearing Winter saying maybe 40 000 times that unbinding F2 could help improve overall macro I actually took the decision to do it and boy was he right, of course it's super weird in the beginning but after a while it really helps you to see your units better and avoid just panicing and pressing F2 as soon as you get a terran counter-drop in your own base.
Just randomly posting this on a Winter video as I don't know where I heard it the 40 000 times but thanks for all the help :D
OMG Perfect timing XD this comes out right as I am trying to get back into StarCraft.
Hey mate, new viewer here, just wanted to let you know your videos are really good quality on all fronts. I've only watched sc2 content but its all great.
-some youtube junkie
happy to see this over the weekend
Great Video It was awesome to watch your Protoss builds
dude, you're a genius. i love the commentary. so helpful.
Hey dont say nobody is gonna watch an hour long video, because I did. You know why I did? Because, its fucking awesome and your guides helped me so much in last few weeks tremendously.
36:00 such a good one. Love Winter.
All videos are different with a lot of tips, thanks for sharing knowledge.
Just started playing again after years and wow... I suck. Thankfully you gave me an idea of where to start again
Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful. I understand your build strategy and order for you buildings but how do I know how many of what types of units to build ? thank you for your response
@WinterStarcraft is it worthy play in a slower speed to train and then rise it to fastest or it's better to just play fastest and try to follow the build orders? I'm struggling to keep up with the timing of things and muscle learning the shortkeys (moved from standard to QWERT). It so fast for me at this point that I can't pay attention to scouts (despite I send them) and I also do not yet read their strategy by looking at the buildings because my mind is trying to keep up with spending the resources usefully
Really nice clear direction man. Wow I get it now.
How did you know I needed some free coaching. GG.
Really cool hour, watched it completely :)
Love you videos AlphaStar! I've been rushing with 8 stalkers before the 4min mark and made my way to Platinum 3 haha, how would your build help survive my rush, I see only 3 army units, you said scouting a rush would be key. What would you do differently, not expand just yet? Thanks!!
I need some help im kinda newbie here I cant understand the build order and how it works?
YOU HAVE A PROBE FOLLOWING THE OTHER PROBE D: 12:20
didnt realize this was fuckin bronze league heroes
thanks your videos upgraded my gameplay a lot... cheers from Quebec city
I'm new to the game, Picked protoss, Glad this worked out. This will make for good basics for sure!
pissed the last two matches werent protoss tho lmao lmao
"thats about 100 hours of playing... but you must have missed that, i apologize" Killed me XD
Hes good but he doesnt have to be a dick about it.. I surely just found his channel today. And I've been playing sc longer than he been alive. Everybody dont come to CZcams to play games
@@julianthomas9764 umm you have not been playing longer than he's been alive, no one has
Julian Thomas lmao I can tell that not only are you new here, but you might be a bit insecure.
so when do you keep high temps as high temps vs morphing into arcons in pvt
The chance of getting the same race out of random 5 times in a row: 1.23%
Nah your math’s wrong. It’s 2,43% my dude please don’t talk out of your ass.
For me it’s more like 80%
@@shadowslicer9613 Seems alright: First game's race is a given. Then the chances of getting that same race 4 more times is (1/3)^4 => 0.01234567901 (1.23%)
Hey, so I’m pretty bad at this game and was wondering why Winter places his bases alongside the map border. I usually tend to take the entire corner of a map when building my Nexus’ but Winter seems to take a “side” of the map, if you know what I mean. Could someone explain the reasoning behind this?
Great guide Winter, enjoyed it thoroughly. Too bad we didn't get to see some super late game stuff with/or more air units usage.
Epic video thanks! What's that first song? Its just as good as the video!
54:31 I recognise Celldweller, but can someone tell me the song?
I just download the game 3 days ago, my APM is really bad about 100 and that is probably the spam atk move i do. Speaking of which I am practicing protoss, the easiest for me so far and when I go into micro mode I forget to make unit. I find it is easier to break it on Terran cuz I can just control group to make unit but with protoss I have to warp separate unit on pylon powered and I tried it few times and panic everytime. Any tips on training for this? Thanks a lot!
Love that crab rave is on his playlist!
Hi.. I hope u see this comment, from newbie.. Just wanna ask, what is it "plus 1 plus 2 advantages"? What is that thing?
What custom map Winter plays?
I have never got to a video so fast
What cool lobby mod is this? Looks great for drills.
Winter can you please do this for Terran and Zerg! 😊 Love the walkthrough of protoss and would love for updated other races!
You know he has other videos? xD
Also he literally he said he is going to do other races at 46:20
Started playing sc2 after years again. Only played broodwar as a teen. Got ranked master rank 3 😂 Thanks for the guide!
Did you not see the warp prism off your base b4 you attacked? When you were ZvP last match was at 1:26:00
Yas, I waited for this
same
41:21 your Cannons per minute goes crazy :D
Can a one-base all in banshee "rush" be considered a cheese?
What is the name of this arcade mode?
I'm Terran and my TvP sucks. So I've tried lately to make a widow mine drop against protoss but usually they end up out macroing it. The only strategy that works for me is the two base push. Any tips on how to approach the match up at +8 min? Diamond 2
Random d2 here.
About the mine drops, I suggest marine drops instead of mine drops as it both transition easier, and is a lot more consistent when I use it, and I die to marine drops a lot too. A toss can't "out macro" a marine drop as long as the terran doesn't lose the marines and doesn't screw up his own macro, and in d2 the drops WILL do damage unless the toss cut a lot of probes earlier than 5 minutes in.
As for 8+ minutes, range liberators+marines against templar (it's frigging difficult to play against with templar/archons being the priority target unless you have a lot of stalkers to buffer), and mmm+tanks against colossi (usually there won't be a lot of air/immo in a colo build, and you can just kite zealots forever with concussive shells). Anything else just kill'em with mass marines.
Zerg player here: watched the 2020 video of this and made my way to plat on toss. Watching this now because winter said most of 2019 still applies to 2020.. anything that definitely does not apply anymore? Lmk:) thanks for the vids!
what map is this?
I could totally 1v1 Winter
in an eating contest. Come at me bro.
I could 1v1 him in Starcraft 2. I'd lose, but I could at least join the game
Says everyone
@@mininjackowski same I can at least show up lmao
Can we see another one of these in 2021? Thanks Winter
"No one's going to watch an hour long guide" -winter at nearly the end of an hour and a half video. Well man, I did 😂
Will we see "Learn Starcraft Zerg Guide (2019)"? And how soon? Please :)
Anyone else notice the probe that’s just following another probe in the mineral line at 13:10 ish
I love the superviser probe
Idk if its my earbuds or your mic but some mid and high frequencies are too low and it makes you hard to hear/understand.
36:06 seemed like a kinda rude response to a question that seemed almost flattering. Did I miss something? XD
great video as always! How is he warping in units with no gateway hotkey? My bronze brain cant work it out :)
Warpgates are on the w key
great video winter it is just what i needed you outplayed everything so easily i am now a platinum after a few games
im silver but ive found double oracle very effective... is there a reason its not popular in the very high skill bracket?
it's 300/300 that is semi-countered by most standard builds...?
pvp ppl open stalkers and/or pheonix
tvp ppl open either a lot of marines or a cyclone, always with a starport ready by the time the second oracle finishes
zvp people have queens as long as they're not sure what the toss is doing (if they didn't scout the toss' tech) or if they know air units are on the way (if they actually scouted it).
waiting for zerg version of this
Question: how is he spawning units even though he doesn't have warp gates bound to any of his hot keys?
All your warp gates are bound to "W" by default.
You defeated Emperor Cao Cao!? How DARE you! (Honestly the best one you faced, gg)
Pro tip: you can't make good decisions if you never scout.
Archons...
@@treysenzobell3299 ...suck against Battlecrusiers and Skytoss.
@@Valhalla05 Except that they kill both of those before they get to critical mass, because it takes ages to build Battlecruisers and Skytoss... Unless you suck of course
Song 0:00?
Why forge that late?
This video got me to win diamond tourment
i just wondered across the video that how he got protoss all the time as random.
52:53 why is +2 attack better than +1/+1 ?
He mentioned on stream a few days ago that armour only really benefits immortals unless you're fighting vs mass marine bio or hydra/ling and since almost every protoss unit has a lot of base damage the ~30% damage boost that +2 gives far outweighs +1 armour. Something like that anyway!
Because you only want to survive marine shots more than killing them so they can't shoot as many times when you're zealot/lingbane heavy. No amount of armor can help with siege tanks, and if you don't kill the marines fast the tanks will shred you with or without armor. That, and medivacs.
Oh!! whats the name of that arcade game???
Bless you man for this exquisite guide! It's been 6 years since my last ranked and I just come back. Having a blast tbh, used to be plat. Started to play SC when SC2 came out. Btw I like the way you do your videos, keep it up! : ) I have a lot of fun watching your casts. Specially those were Has is in.
Btw: right now I'm chilling on silver XDD but all my oponents are high gold xD. I'm so confused, cuz I expect golds to cheese or go macro, but they don't tech like I do. Not saying they're bad not at all. But I struggle a bit and win. :P
Yeah Gold is a special League. xD I think in Gold there are the people who played a lot and therefore got better but still either dont have a plan on what to do or dont play to get high on ladder. Anyway focus on Macro and you will be Dia soon ;D
Got into the game late started 7 days ago my god your so fast my high brain cant keep up
thank you
What format is he playing? Is this a mod?
Jonathan Pugh
Old comment, but it's called peep mode in arcade.
When crab rave started playing I got confused, then remembered this came out in 2019 and people still make Starcraft content haha
I would not be confused when crab rave was still on his playlist in 2021 ....
"Protoss guide"
*200+ clicking and hot key speed*
Me: MY EYES!!! @@@@@@@
how does he check how many probes he has so fast?
Hover over your supply and it shows
Song at 7:30?
Noisestorm- Crab rave
Bro how in the hell are you wiping the floor with these guys while casually talking to people? Like fuck dude. You're op
I think the secret is this playlist
Holy, he is using colossus before archon?
What is with the Cybercore so far away from the entrance? Isnt it normally used for wall offs?
As I see it the cybercore is one of the most important buildings. I always place mine at the very back of my first base. If it goes down, you can't built any stargates, robotics etc.
If you haven't already you should really make videos for each race on what units counter what. for example if your playing as zerg, you could tell us what units to create to counter tanks. Just a thought thanks :D
He does it in like every second video/stream.
"More shit counters less shit"
I think it is in game somewhere.
why is he often over saturating bases with to many probes? 24/16 etc ?
Probably for the transfer/waiting for gas. Not sure which since you didnt time stamp
16 is most effective, 24 is still effective, over 24 is non-effective (yes people did study those things)
i love u winter.
WTF 1:18:29 Winter says "no one is going to watch an hour long guide" I DID WINTER I DID DAMN IT!
Richard Macias yup. Me too
terran guide next?
This move on force field omg
Is this guide still recomendable for a new player who starts playing in 2020?
Quite a bit has changed. I'd still watch it, but know that some of it is outdated.
@@ethanpenn5 thanks sir
What the game?
sONG AT 47:00 ?
I can not understand these compositions in PvP!
33:42-33-45 biggest water bottle ever xd
Crab rave at 7:41
