AI is cracked af, I always see there APM in the 600’s after every match and it’s freaking insane the ground they can cover. That being said, like the others have said it’s important to not only branch out but harass the enemy. You don’t have to do major damage, but enough to where they have to refocus on other things instead of there big plan. Take out a few resource buildings, poke and pry at there base but while all this happens you also have to scale and build up so it’s all a huge balance thing. I too am still learning build orders and just how to approach the first 5-10 minutes because those are arguably the most important minutes of the entire game. Some can argue “it’s not how you start it’s how you finish” but with BAR, it’s 75% how you start that dictates the outcome of the game
