Blurb:

Sc2gears is a general StarCraft 2 utility for everyone who is interested in the game (either a player or just a game analyzer). Its main features are replay management and analysis for both individual replays and mass replays (multi-replay statistics). It provides easy but powerful and efficient replay management and basic statistics for starters, and advanced statistics and time development charts useful even for professional players. It is also a great asset for tournament and league organizers in quick analysis of tournament results.

He sucks at Starcraft 2 so you don't have to! Analysis of his early games in SC2 with particular attention to what he did wrong and how to improve. Good for newbies.

i use these BO optimizers from time to time to check out some BO:

Main zerg BO optimizer:
Lomilar's EvolutionChamber: http://code.google.com/p/evolutionchamber/

Main Toss BO optimizer:
SCBuildOrder: http://code.google.com/p/scbuildorder/

Blurb:
they are programs that can learn how to optimize a build order. just choose whatever you want to know eg. how to make 7 roaches asap etc and it will run and optimize a BO for you. luminar's one can utilise up to 6 cores to do the calculation iirc

Yet Another Build Order Tester (YABOT)

This project is series of standard 1v1 Blizzard maps adapted to include a sophisticated build order testing system. The goal is to execute the chosen build while keeping up worker production and creating the largest army possible. The AI will execute a given build order or execute a random one. At the end of the round, you are given a score which tells how well you executed the build. Also included is a "Freestyle" mode, which monitors your play and displays the build order that you performed.

SC2 Replay Parser

https://github.com/dcramer/nibbits-shared/
http://sc2.nibbits.com/forums/12/view/343/nibbits-tools-sc2replay-parsernibbits-tools-sc2replay-parser

Blurb:

For the more technical minded, Nibbits have open sourced the code they use to parse SC2 replay files. It is a set of Python scripts that read the binary format of the replay files.

Note this is not a tool, more of a framework for making tools. It is not something your average SC2 player is going to use unless they want to write their own tool.

I put it up here cause that is exactly what I see myself doing in the near future (I'm a web developer experienced with Python).

Banks file editing tool by Nervosa

If you have ever tried adding new build orders to YABOT manually using notepad, your struggles are over! Nervosa has introduced a new program for Windows that will not only allow you to easily edit your bank files, but we have added new magnet links to each build order on sc2builds.com, so you can instantly load them into your bank files with a few clicks. Nervosa has prepared a short video tutorial to show you how it works:

Excellent forum everyone,well played.

May I make a small suggestion? There is alot of jargon and terminology which makes it less accessible to noobs like myself.If there was a sticky or reference that we could look up it would be great.

Really really sick micro trainer, has 10 challenges for each race, which mostly are recreations of typical multiplayer situations, only did the protoss ones but they are really good.

It has levels too for each situation where the enemys army gets bigger each level etc.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=237869&currentpage=3

Definitely give it a look if you wanna improve your micro

Are those builds not pretty old and redundant?

The graph concept is good, I saw it on Reddit, but like,there isn't one Marauder in sight :O

Afaik your high level Terran so I'll bow to your judgement, but it just looks " off"

Its only a couple of months old. The graph showing the protoss openings is very useful.

Would be great if loads of builds get added and the community assist.
I'll be trying to practice that DRG build anyways.
Maybe look at some replays and start doing my own.....I reckon Idras would be too Macro based and be about 10pages worth.
