The classical hard mode version is played against three bots, so you have to come back through raiding and expansion already starting from behind. But for learning the mindset, going 1v1 against Brutal should work.

If you want to improve, you need to not play the coop games. Most people don't want to improve but want to just have fun at whatever skill level they are. If you improve you will leave them behind, and to improve, you have to leave them behind.

The macro challenge above kind of aims to drill this into a mindless instinct. With all the micro needed to counter the enemies with only mobile units, your expansion better be extremely streamlined both strategically (build order, expansion paths) and mechanically (how many seconds you spend looking at minimap, issuing the orders, and how long it takes you to notice an opportunity)
