I've been playing for 9 (!) years and I can barely hold C- on ICCup.

I've had it. Screw this. I quit.

I quit sucking. From now on, I will say gg and leave the game as soon as my apm drops below 300. I refuse to play on for 30 more fucking minutes getting no practice at all just because the game is not finished. If I'm not practising, I leave the game, eat something, drink something, and start practising.

Stop wasting 90% of the time that I play.

I will play the same fucking build every game. And I mean it. No more fucking "I'm bored so I guess I will offrace." No more "How about two gate proxy?" If I'm bored, I will STILL play the same fucking build until I'm enjoying myself. And if my apm drops below 300 because I'm bored and not really trying, I instaquit the game and slam my head against the wall until I can get the point "stop sucking" through my thick skull.

I've seriously had it now. I guess after wasting time for nine years it is time to take something seriously for once, eh?

Goal: Top 3 player in Europe before SC2 comes out.

I mean it.

Good luck in your journey.

And I hope you reach your goal.

I have a goal too. To play against you once you're that good.

Sorry to double post.

If you're not trolling or kidding then APM does not necessarily equal skill. This is just one of this guy's skills/goals, to play well with a higher APM.

I've been playing for fun, on and off for about 9 years.
I can easily get past C- ranks using whatever build I feel like as I go along.
The secret?

No I'm never serious.

It's clearly not sub-300 apm holding you back, probably poor mechanics and mindset by the sounds of it. Big jump between C- toss and C too.

Obviously.

I could go into it; the mathematics/semantics are tricky, but it's got to be true.

Leaving the game before its over will

1. Make you more frustrated
2. Not train your survival skills
3. Not give you a full game's worth of work

Also, you need to chill the fuck out.

you know what you need to do? play some 4V4 BGH NO NOOBS games on east. just stop playing on iccup for a while

p.s
if you are still mediocre after 9 years, another few months of intense training wont help

Yeah, what I like to do is go on east and play some fastest games. cannon rush into mass sairs with reavers into arbiters to recall.
