So far it's been good. I'm in the copper group (because I suck) and routinely get pounded for my lack of SC experience, but at least on occasion I can drag a fight out or even win, whereas if I were to play the really good guys, it'd be over in less than the already short times I have lost before.

you should watch VODs of pro/high level players, and just start emulating what they do. something that a lot of lower level players lack is rapid point/click skillz and using hotkeys. i don't blame people for not using hotkeys because english versions of bliz RTS games have stupid hotkey placement that goes all over the board, even though they actually tried to make it better this time, but if you do it really cuts down on macro time.

maybe the only advice i can really give is a warning about hotkeying production buildings together as terran. say, if you put a rax with the reactor add-on first and a rax with the tech lab next, then selecting that group of buildings by that hotkey you won't be able to make advanced units that require the tech lab. if you do tech lab first and reactor second, it'll queue marines/helions/vikings to each building one at a time instead of using the reactor's two-unit production ability. (you have two ports on hotkey, lab on first and reactor second, order a banshee first from the port w/lab, then order a viking from second port, then another viking... will go to the port w/lab and sit in queue). hope bliz fixes that, because it's pretty ghey
