Starcraft 2 Trial Code and beginner tips

[TheWhiteRapper]

So I wan't to try out Starcraft 2, and the demo doesn't have online play. My only friend who is on xbox right now already used all his, and my phone is out of minutes... So, if any of you guys have a Starcraft 2 Trial Key Code, PLEASE send it to me. Also, any tips for beginners/RTS noobs, and in your opinion what race is the BEST (Although they're all supposed to be balanced).

And I realise that this is just a sad attempt to cover up a request thread, but come on /r/ and /v/ failed me, and all the threads I googled already have the keys used.

EDIT: I just got a code, so there is no need to send me one anymore. This thread is now about beginner starcraft tips/races.

I know few people who would pick a "best" race. At most, someone might say one of them is underpowered a little in certain scenarios.

But the easiest to pick up on would be Terran; there are a number of simplicities in their unit management, and you learn from them in the campaign. Their most basic strategy, Marines Marauders and Medivacs, or MMM, is pretty easy as well.

Er. A decent enemy can just go around the cannons. If it's the only route down, he'll make a new route with air.

You shouldn't be investing too much in defensive buildings, because you'll spend a lot of resources on them that could go into units, and in most cases the enemy can just choose to take another route. Plus they never end up being where you need them.

Sure, I'll go find mine and PM you.

THANK YOU!

Day[9] has a lot of learning videos. Here's one:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJztfsXKcPQ

Some of them are aimed at newbies, some are aimed at not noobs. I'm not sure how helpful they will be because they're all really long but yea.

Good beginner tips:
1.) Don't "Float" resources (unspent resources). Always build things
2.) Don't queue multiple units.
3.) Don't get supply blocked (no more room for unit population)
4.) Saturate mineral fields with 2 - 3 workers before expanding. MULEs for the Terran ignore the 3 worker rule.
5.) Get used to using hotkeys
