Starcraft is a real-time strategy game developed by Blizzard Entertainment that sold over 11 million copies worldwide and became a professional sport in South Korea and Europe. Playing Starcraft well requires strong resource management, scouting of opponents' strategies, micromanaging individual units effectively during battles, and macromanaging broader base-building and tech decisions. Good Starcraft players focus on continuous learning by studying their own replay data to identify mistakes and areas for improvement between matches.
