Win Easy Games in Starcraft 2

When you start out in a game of Starcraft 2 you should generally open the same way. Obviously you need to send your workers to the mineral line ASAP and then start producing your first worker right away. Make sure to rally them on the mineral line.
Then you should open based on your race. Zerg players generally expand early since they will fall behind in their economy if they do not expand soon when facing Terran or Protoss.
Sometimes they can tech straight to Roaches or even Mutalisks to rush their opponent. This can work sometimes but as with each strategy you need to practice it. This way you get the timing down and know how to counter certain situations.
As Terran you do not have to expand for a while. You can stay on one base and expand around 9 minutes into the game which is generally the time your mineral line should be saturated. Some thing with Protoss.
Terran players should start out by building a Supply Depot, Barracks, Refinery, second Supply Depot, and then upgrade to an Orbital Command. This will ensure a strong economy because then you can use the energy on Mules to rake in about 300 minerals for each one of those robots.
For Protoss the opener starts with a 9 Pylon then a Gateway at 13. The chrono boost should be used to pump out Probes faster since this is their advantage with their economy.
You should be constantly be producing workers. Most of the time the winner will have the better economy. This is not just about maximizing the resources you bring in. It is also about immediately investing in useful structures and combat units.
If you would rather play more aggressive when your mineral line is saturated then you can stop producing workers and delay the expansion in order to mass up a good army and play aggressive with your opponent.
But if you would rather expand to keep up with the economy then expanding and continually producing workers is generally the way to go. It takes practice but after a while you will get your macro down.
Speed is something you should have in this game. It is measured by actions per minute. To make this increase you need to use hot keys which are keyboard shortcuts to selecting buildings and units. Practice these. Learn how to set control groups as well as the race specific hot keys.
