The Price of Victory: Managing Resources

There's more than meets the eye when it comes to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty multiplayer matches. At first it seems deceptively simple: collect resources, build an army, fight. Dig a little deeper, and you'll find that it's more than just deciding on the correct build order. It's about making your resources work for you and putting time on your side. Buildings and units have different costs, whether in minerals, vespene gas, supply, or a combination of all three. Factor in the time they take to build and things get complicated. Managing your resources is crucial to being able to build the units you need as you need them and failing to use them efficiently (or at all) can mean defeat.
For our discussion topic today, we want to ask: how do you manage your resources in multiplayer matches?

This is the video where day9 talks about expanding and time-sense.
There's a recent day9 video that talks about expanding if you can. Why not? It will give you the edge. When you can means thinking about timing and having a good sense of it.
in every game i go i always have a mindset for what im going to do for example if i want to go for a barracks heavy build (Marines&Marauders) im gonna put more saturation on minerals while if i go for a Mech build i will put some more on my gas but for me the key is to spend spend and keep spending
It would be very beneficial for the community if you could envoke a comment rating system similar to youtube's. This way members of the community can 'like' comments they think are the best , and that way the best comments can be highlighted and put at the top.
Thats 24 SCV's per mineral line, 6 SCV's for 2 Vespyne. You should never have more then 400 minerals saved unless youre getting ready for an expansion.
Use hotkeys and groups to build units, this way you can macro while you are on the offensive.
constantly build Scvs for a strong economy. slowly at first, so as to have enough money for essentials lika a barracks, depot, ect.
but hten more rapidly once you have money. i always build a reactor first so i can quickly combat any rushes. then simply liftoff your building and build a tech lab when nessecary
Good Luck C:
scout, find what your opponent is making, and build the counter unit. then build the counter unit for that counter unit! (he makes marines, you make roaches. prepare for airborn and make corrupters/mutalisks/hydralisks, for example)
