CnC Red Alert Master Class: Building 1

This post is the first in a series on how to play red alert at a pro* level. Whoever builds the most the fastest wins - Milo234 (2006). Building fast is the most important skill of Red Alert. Nobody ever consistently places their buildings down perfectly and probably never will (not even the very best pros). Even when training, it is very hard to do but in a real game with distractions it's currently impossible for humanity. Perhaps with some ai/genetic augmentation in future?

DeepBlue: About 12 years after the PGL tournament I moved to the UK, where I currently live. I've got a family now, and while I still love gaming it only happens as a secondary thing now. This naturally means competitive play is out of the question, as it requires a lot of dedication.

Lots of memories of playing with rivals Nukewintr and CnC_God in particular. N8Diaz: Why did you ultimately stop playing?
