Trusting your build

So the last couple of days I haven't been streaming at all. I've been playing the ladder for about 4-6 hours a day. and have realized that a lot of players have "tendencies" on battle.net.

However even with these tendencies I find myself still losing a lot of matches I shouldn't have out of pure dumb mistakes. Moving out to early, harassing to much, expanding to late, not micoring correctly, etc.

And I've noticed something dramatically wrong with my play-style while climbing up, and down ladder. I don't "trust" my builds. I lose a match get frustrated, then make severe alterations to my build, just due to one mishap. Instead of slightly altering my build order if that said situation occurs again, and continuing on a narrow guided path to my end game strategy, I veer horribly off the path, which is a very horrible thing to do.


So if you find your self frustrated that your build isn't working, analyze it, find what you did wrong, before yous tart changing everything around. The build could be fine, but your micro lacking, timing is off, and or expanding to late.


I totally forgot the basic main fundamental of playing starcraft competitively, trusting your build, and staying on the narrow path to your end game destination.

So if you find yourself getting frustrated with losing, get the build down, see how you can make it faster, flexible, and fit your style.

Make it like a story, a story you tell every damn day, it has the same beginning middle and end, but what happens in between is strictly up to you. Goldilocks, could set fire on the walls, drink herself into to oblivion, and or have a nervous breakdown, in a single telling of Goldilocks and the three bears....

But at the end of the day the bitch is gonna :

Walk into a house thats obviously not hers.
Eat all the damn porridge.
And fall asleep in a family of bears house,and get eaten.


I don't even know if thats half way right. But you guys get the picture.

i'm not sure that "trusting your build" is the main basic fundamental. i think "having a build you can trust in" is much better.

I agree very much with this blog. When I first tried to do HAN BANG 3 tank 1 vessel TIMING ATTACK in SC1, I would get rolled. Every single time. By playing through the build dozens of times, I slowly learned it.

When I finally got the timings solid, I started doing the rolling.

or you can just get yourself into a tight situation and get exodia by believing in the heart of the cards (I remember reading that in the Manga... seriously wtf was that)

Debo, love your stream man. Don't mind the douchebags. There's a special place in hell for them ;-).
I have acquired four score and nineteen difficulties, but a wench cannot be counted amongst them.
