Hey guys,

Last time I posted, I was a measly little Copper player trying my damnedest to GTFO of there. My lack of skill, understanding, and patience had led me to be placed at the bottom of the shit bucket for the longest time.

But, a solid month of non-stop playing, watching, learning, and reading... I'm so fucking excited to say that I placed Rank #38 in GOLD.

Here were the rookie lessons for this accomplishment:

- Scout properly
- Stay under 400min
- Maintain Micro/Macro & know when to do what
- Build workers
- Know the map
- Know the matchup

I'll probably post more as I think of them, but those were the tips that seriously helped me from being a bullshit idiot player to someone who finally can say: I play SCII.

Thank you TL.net for being one of the legitimately elite online communities out there.

Time to get top 20 now ;D

GLHF <3

Take the black instead. Though it's cold on the wall you'd be protecting TL from evil invaders.

Seems like a sacrifice I'd be willing to take.

damn, you can stay under 400 mins consistently? i still can't do that... maybe for the first 15 minutes or so, then my min count skyrockets as soon as i hit my 3rd and my army's at 170/170 =\

It is truly a great feeling to unfold your Wings of Liberty. Strike fear into the very Heart of The Swarm, mighty ohaicami, and never forget to uphold the Legacy of The Void.
