My friend's experience of Starcraft 2

Upon playing starcraft 2's  multiplayer mode, my friend felt it to be definitely more "newbie friendly" than Starcraft I. The A.I. levels could be adjusted according to one's skill level, so my friend could easily get used to starcraft 2 skirmishes thus allowing him to settle into his first Starcraft 2 Multiplayer match quite quickly. He found the in-game tooltips to be very helpful in getting him up to speed, and i observed as he built his base without much difficulty.However, as expected he felt as his first competitive multiplayer match was an entirely different ball-game. The opponents were ruthless and had lots of strategies up their sleeves, and were constantly typing rubbish in the chatbox, telling him how "noob" and "was a phail (fail)" he was.
I could see as he was abit offended by their comments but gladly he ignored them. He resumed building up an army but before he could even start tech up to more advanced units, his base was over-run by enemy forces. Of course, naturally he panic and tried to scramble a defense, but to no avail.
The whole time that the game was going on, he felt really uneasy as an opponent's army lurking around a cliff or waiting in ambush.. Well he lost his first multiplayer match against human players, but he  thoroughly enjoyed the smoothness of the game and its impeccable graphics. Well like all games if you were to be good at it you gotta grind grind and grind....
