Someone please train/practice/coach with me. My friends and I who rarely play BW these days (a few games every few months maybe) got bored and started playing and ofc whenever someone wins, we trashtalk like no tomorrow. The problem is I'm losing more than I win. And these people are the type of friends that I absolutely hate losing to, if that makes any sense -.-

I play PvT, PvZ, TvP, and TvZ.

I don't know what my skill level is but the highest I've ever gotten was C- on PGT so I'm probably D or D+ at best. I hope I'm not D-... that'd be scary.

Heen1337 @ USWest, online now.

We usually play:
Andromeda
Fighting Spirit
Python

Actually, nevermind the maps. Just looking for someone to play against.

EDIT: Oh one of them also claims he would've become a progamer had it not been for his parents not approving it, which is BULLSHIT since no one who was at one point good enough to potentially become a progamer would have lost to me. FUCK. I'm nerd raging so bad right now.

Why do you want to win so much?

I'm not trying to troll, but you understanding your own motive may make it easier to solve the issue. I don't think the issue is that you're losing a lot, but more about how you handle a loss/win.

Hi, I have a couple of friends your level looking for practice partners as well. If you're willing to come on iccup I can hook you guys up later today (probably). They are ~D+ players.

Lots of people want to get better at this game (many for much better reasons than yours lol).

Teamliquid offers many great resources for how to get better. There are even threads if you search with the topic of finding other people to play with and teach you. Hell, there are paid coaches who will privately tutor you if you want to get involved in that.

I don't think it's appropriate for users to make a thread each time they want someone to train them to defeat their friends though.

Well, it's all in good fun. We're obviously trash talking after every win since we know each other but come on... losing is not fun I'll admit I'm a sore loser at times, but I'm not 'seriously' trying to get good.

Hrmm my bad then. I haven't kept up with BW-related stuff on this site for a while now. I wasn't aware.

I didn't mean to give the impression that I'm looking for free lessons. I'm happy to play anyone (other than pubs) actually.

You're not much of a fan of mirrors, are you?
That being said, PM me if you want a game, I'm a D toss.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

Don't quite understand the 1st line but I'm online if you can play now!

EDIT: I thought you were talking about actual mirrors... lol

I've actually been helping a few people get better, although most of them seemed to burn out after a day or two of dedication.

If you want, I can try to help you improve on those maps. I am a protoss player, played iccup the past few seasons under these two names:

Based on your OP, I'm sure the following can help you.
First, if you haven't, read this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=135766
Second, go into single player, no computer. Pick a matchup and a build order. Practice it over and over again, maxing out every time. First, concentrate on building everything in a timely manner. Once you have that down, concentrate on constant worker production. Once you have that down, concentrate on not getting supply blocked. Once you have that down, concentrate on building an army and maxing out while still maintaining all of the previous. Once you have that down, optimize. Using your build order, try to max out as fast as possible. Get a feel of when you should be building your production facilities and when you should be building your depots/pylons. Do this for each matchup until it's second nature.
Third, go on iCCup. Mass game and focus on macro. Don't worry about micro until you actually need to attack. Even then, prioritize macro. Watch the replays of your losses. Analyze what you did wrong. Did your minerals/gas go over 1000? Did you stop worker production? Or maybe you responded incorrectly to his build.

Alternatively, I'll gladly smurf as you if you want to bash them ASAP.
