Or do you even have some kind of step by step plan in mind? Cheers ionize -Mass games- -Watch your replays, see your mistakes -Don't play if you are getting tired -Learn buildorders | ||

That means if you want to get totally raped, than play vs someone with country tags [KR] Additionally try to find a clan to join, or just some friends. If you play versus someone who is not just there to pwn you and get the points, then they'll give you hints and pointers of where you can improve, and it lets you advance much quicker. Also if you play Terran, then watch and learn EVERY SINGLE StylishVOD  PM me or come to "op [shock]" GL HF manAnd YOU MUST ALWAYS GG, no exceptions | ||

then play low money maps lik hunters and feel yourself doing 1a2a1t2t and pick a race 1. Zerg = easiest to win with 2. Protoss = simplest race, very straight-forward. 3. hardest to win with on the low-levels, requires about 3x P's skill level and about 6x Z's focus level learn some basic build orders for each matchup (2gate works in any Pv matchup) and practice make sure to look at your reps and jot down things like why you lost, what you could have done better, and just fix all the holes in your game its important to understand what your opponent is probably doing as you play a game, to focus on your macro, and have a general idea (plan) for what you are going to do as you progress throughout the course of the game | ||

some general tips 1. try to learn some basic unit counters (like dropped zeals > siege tanks, goons > vults etc.) 2. constant production of units will win you the game when you aren't trying to tech up/expand. 3. koreans are good, but not all of them are pros - many are the same level as you so don't overestimate them | ||

Don't play versus the computer unless your intention is to memorize a build order and/or improve your mechanics overall. Pick your race depending on what you feel like is the most fun one. Try them and watch some professional games on YouTube to get a feel on how the races work and what styles each usually represent. Don't pick a race depending on how 'easy' it is, having fun while studying the game results in you getting better much more efficiently. Play as much as you can. After a session take a look at the replays you were most confused about, learn why you lost and make a mental note about what you did wrong. If you can't figure out TeamLiquid is here to help. Don't forget Day[9] started in BW, look up some of his older episodes and you can find very helpful content. Liquipedia for build orders. TeamLiquid Strategy Section if you have problems with them, make sure to read the strategy forum guidelines first though. | ||

* You should get really into starcraft. Play as much as you can and when you can't think about it. Think about build orders, timings and the games you lost trying to analyze why you lost them. The more you put into it the more you will improve. * D-/D/D+ is all about macro. Macro macro macro!!

Pick one standard macro-oriented build order for each matchup. No cheese no funky stuff. * Try to erase all the preconceptions you may have about the game/its difficulty/your skill etc. I find that your hand speed and understanding of the game can improve more rapidly than you think they can. Try to create the mindset that there is no limit to your speed and that you can win every game you play. | ||

Why do people always forget that Terran has vultures and legal maphack (comstat)? If anything, Terran is easier to play at a lower level because most people don't have the game sense yet to make up for no comstat. OP, if the person you're talking about is you, I would advice you don't. Just play for fun when you feel like it. Sure it's fun to look around at strategies and focus on being a better player, but you seem to be suggesting playing for hours a day just to be better at a game.... This is a waste of time. iCCup will only make you better at playing ladder... It won't make you better at StarCraft in general anyway. The best way to get better at SC is to find an active clan. | ||
