I recently got Starcraft 2 after a long wait. I played the first game but in a very casual fashion and mostly centered on single player and games with friends. Now that I have the sequel, I find myself wanting to learn more and become better, at least enough to understand the core of the game and have some solid skills. I have no real intention of competing in big tournaments or being the best there is, but I enjoy learning the game and getting better.

The problem is that so far I haven't found a good, solid site where I can start from the very basics and progress through various skills, learning more as I go. Most of the sites and forums I have found so far are very disorganised and don't present any linear plan to improve. Sure, if I wanted the exact details on a "3 tank push" for terrans or a "3 gate robo" build for PvZ, I know exactly where to look. But why do they work, how they came about, why they are logical, how do you adapt to changing conditions, how do you choose an opener and a build order, all of that is fairly vague and not outlined clearly.

Ideally what I would like would be Starcraft 2 101, followed by 201, all the way up to a Starcraft 2 GED or even a masters'. Input? Ideas? Links?

1. Starcraft 2 is designed around the rock-paper-scissors mechanic, learn each unit/building and how to counter.
2. Play ladder matches.

So this is just an ad for another site?

looks like an ad or spam or a topic made within 30 seconds and no thoughts.

I assume you haven't gone to TeamLiquid.net.
