Guide for medium level players

simple structure :


nr1: pick 2-3 heroes as mains and practice what you have learned.

nr2: there are some base stuff, builds, tricks etc:

this is a usual general build u should aim to master first and then u can see what u need and adapt:



Minerals:

Level 1-mana (R hotkey)
Level 2-mana, mana
Level 3-mana, mana
Level 4-attack, attack (Q hotkey)
Level 5- attack, attack
Level 6- attack, attack
Level 7- (at this level purchase your ultimate) attack
Level 8- (at this level purchase all your skill upgrades besides vision upgrade and attack range upgrade)
Level 9- attack, speed (T hotkey)
Level 10- attack, speed
Level 11- attack, speed
Level 12- speed, speed
Level 13-30 after this mineral guide is a no brainer. simply put points in attack until you can no longer put points in it! (maximum is 25) after you have done that put the rest into Health stat (E hotkey) or Armor stat (W hotkey).

or sometimes its good adding some hp minerals to increase surviability





Gas:

first back:
a: lower then 350 gas go farm more
b: more then 350 but less then 700 gas buy a mana card
c: u got 700 gas buy 1 mana card and 1 mana pot, proceed to kill enemy with mana pot, then farm gas tanks, creep and look where the enemy midlaner is so you don't get ganked
d: u have 1100 u can straight buy mana regen and mana pot
after that try to always carry 1 mana pot so u can kill enemies
get 2 mana regens (750 gas each)
speed (800)
x2 shield
portal
x3 shield
max mana regen




then health packs>1 shield regen>armor packs; mix pots cards lategame, very hard from here to have a straight forward build

also keep in mind ct is a very consumables heavy game (cards and pots)

health pots provide the surviability u need in teamfights, always carry 1 or more in lategame



armor or hp dilema:

if u need to carry go armor as it is better in lategame but weaker in the beggining when u get hp
also there are 3 major ignoring armor heroes for which u should go hp only if ure against them:
zeros with the big line (dts), arcane or quakers.


also 2 mechanics of ct having tutorials:

4 37 spawn:
if you kill 2 of the big marines (commando) before minute 4 37, you will get 1 extra wave of creep which will give
you 1 level of exp and more gas



nr3: id show u some of the best players of ct, watch the heroes u picked and see how he plays reacts to stuff etc, this helped me the most
