I used to not really like it but unfortunately if you go to college in the US it's one of those games that everyone plays... like Halo 3 in everywhere else or Warcraft 3 in China or Pong if you're 40+ years old. It took me awhile to get "decent" but once you find your "style" and work on it it can be pretty fun and entertaining. If you're interested in getting good at the game and trying to find out how to have fun, I suggest you find your strengths first. When I first started I realized I really sucked at the 3 things Starcraft seems to be about: micro, macro and scouting... but eventually I realized that you don't have to be good at all 3 to play your part. But I did find my strengths eventually, which is APM and some sort of decent micro (I use to play Warcraft 3 so I have pretty good micro). Since I'm usually the faster guy in the game I generally play Destination, and have the APM to follow most Koreans. So even though I can't play a decent macro game or even play decently into the midgame, I generally don't have to since I'm usually going 2 gate proxy every game. So yea, I suggest you start off by being mainly a Protoss player, since that's a lot easier to be good at. Spam your hotkeys a lot and keep your gateways producing zealots (if you're playing 1v1). Keep him distracted by chatting and when he scouts your proxy just call him gay. A good trick against ppl more Korean than you is to block your ramp with probes (without being like Bisu of course). If you do it right then you can block their vision of your main which significantly messes up their scouting. In the game try to do the "little" things like manner pylons (and gateways afterwards), and if you're too white to have high APM, then just hold down a hotkey instead (put your finger on the 1 key and keep it there, so that you have 600 APM and look gosu) If you do go up for the longer game but know you're going to get out-macroed, use the fast nexus strategy instead. If you're playing PvT chances are your opponent will rage, so he'll try to all-in you and you can win by building dragoons. There's always SOMETHING a player can do in Starcraft. Sure being more Korean and having higher APM generally has its advantages, but whiter guys have their own weapons (but that generally requires good micro skills) like sending your fifth probe out and building gateways inside his main. | ||

That's exactly what it's like for 99% of people trying to play the game without any training. I don't think you have an understanding of the meaning of the word "objective". | ||
