If you want to stand on top of the food chain - you need learn from the best and get even better than them.

Hint: Some of these tutorials are focusing on competitive play in ns2 (6vs6), but they are still extremely helpful for normal pub-play! The main difference is that mistakes will be more forgiven on a pubserver. Even though some of the tutorials "seem old", they've been checked and are still up to date (or have only subtle differences)

More basic Information can you find on the official Natural Selection 2 Wiki Page.
