I'm really fucking awful at SC, even though I've been playing for almost 3 years off and on, know strategies, and can commentate really well. So I'm wondering what the fuck I'm doing wrong. Care to drop by and curse at me?

Edit: Forgot link: http://livestream.com/Apa7HYSC

PS: If you have nothing better to say than "you're terrible", don't bother. If you hadn't gleaned as much already, I'm well aware that I'm awful. Be constructive or be silent. Or be silenced. Your choice.

Usually on Korean hours, main T. And do the same god awful BOs every time, even though they're not really BOs because I fucking fail at timing.

I thought someone intentionally named it so that it is cut in such a way. :D

I'd drop by and watch, but the stream is not online now.

The real problem is playing "on and off" when you first start playing competetively. I played starcraft on and off for 2 years as well and that whole time i was hovering around mid D. Recently I just played for a week straight, maybe around 10games a day tops and got D+ ez. You need to play more so you can be more consistant.

if you want to improve:
turn off the music, don't play in windowed mode, make sure you don't have "enhanced pointer precision" turned on in the mouse settings.

try to get some bo that makes sense :D
don't go 2 fact siege into port into exp!

and don't put supplys where your factories should go!

Ehhhh.... my play improved when I switched to windowed mode. My 24" widescreen is so big that if I'm playing in full screen and staring at the center of my screen doing something, my minerals and my minimap are in my blind spots. I switched to windowed mode and this problem was alleviated.

And as an aside, I'm a D/D+ player, I included a guide in my stream thread, and I didn't get one response to it. WTF.

You need to improve your building placement, lift off your rax after making marines in TvT and float it to your opponent's base to see what they're up to and do some serious work on your macro.

Sorry I'm really fucking awful at cursing; even though every girl in the world wants to fuck me and every man wishes he were me, I still can't get the hang of cursing.

when you're attacking with mm+tanks+ vessel , siege your tanks so they fire on lurks/sunks, and don't attack with mm, unless there's 2 or less lurks. let the tanks do their job, so you don't waste marines.

and scout. and hotkey your scans. and scan his main and exp for new tech all game long. need to know when are mutas/lurks coming, later when is hive, and if he's going defilers or ultras.

early game, scout with scv so you know if he's going massling strat. ling speed or more than 6 lings means he's probably going massling, and later into lurkers. even if you loose your first scouting scv, send another soon after.

later in the game, you need either 2 starports 1 factory, or 2 factory 1 starport.

place supplys behind minerals (or somewhere far away from rax area), so you have more space.
place turrets behind minerals, 4 in main 3 in exp 2 next to rax.

place bunker on your exp instead your main when you're expanding.

he didn't really need to know that the mutas were coming against that zerg though, it was a suboptimal switch

Checklist for you:

1. Scout more.
2. Push more in TvP.
3. Harass with vultures.
4. Lay more mines around the entire map to catch off-guard units.
5. Mine your flanks.
6. Expand faster, while harassing or pushing.
7. Scout more.
8. Place buildings better.
9. Transfer your SCVs more wisely.
10. Scout more. This time with scan.

Also, to practice your building placement, just 1v1 the computer and try to reach 200/200 as fast as possible with perfect building placement. Should take 13-14 minutes tops.

wtf, this is too much for him

Just focus on keeping your scv production going and keeping your money low by building many barracks/factories and units all the time. attack whenever you think it will work. you'll learn when it's good by trial and error. don't forget depots. build more building. build more units.

after your money is below 500/500 during the whole game, you can focus on other parts as well

well, I found out that I play better without music, and I talked to other people, and a vast majority of them plays better without music.

true, some may play better, but generally I think it's better to remove all external impulses that might draw your precious attention from the game.
