Have you heard about the World SC2 League? StarCraft 2 is about to become the greatest esport ever. There are high price pools and it’s no wonder that thousands of players want to polish their skills.

Do you want to become a competitive StarCraft player and climb up the ladder? Then you have to start with basic str ategies: Your build orders. Let me show you some of the best build orders and how they work.

First of all let’s take a lool at a StarCraft 2 Zerg build order. It’s called the 2 Hatch Hydra build order and focuses on both a fast Hydralisk army and a economic advantage. Of course you can only execute this BO if your enemy is not going for a very early push or even a rush. Send a Drone to scout your enemy and switch your build order if necessary.

For example, there’s a StarCraft 2 Protoss build order that is extremely effective against fast expansions: The Void Ray build order. Since you are going to build a second hatchery before upgrading to Lair and building air defenses you would be unable to defend against an early Void Ray attack.

But not only Protoss have build orders that counters the 2 Hatch Hydra. The popular StarCraft 2 Terran build order to get fast Reapers is very deadly if you concentrate only on your economy and your expansion.

To make sure you are not falling for those traps you have to scout your enemy’s base and gather intel on his tech buildings and build order. Even missing units and buildings give you a clue. Imagine you have already played a few minutes – you enter the opponent’s base and find no Barrack, no Factory… but your enemy is harvesting gas like stupid. A hint that he is obviously hiding some buildings from you to make a surprise attack soon.

Still this build order is very effective and if you manage to pull it off you can literally walk over your opponent with both you economic and unit advantage.
