Do you think if I played Starcraft 2 as much as I spend time reading and posting on TL that I would be any good at SC2?

For those who don't know me I used to work with iCCup running a weekly 32 or 64 man tournament and their weekly new map showcase on all those shiny custom maps. Now I'm just a player/lover-of-sc2.

2000 posts in a little over five months. Thank you TL for the epic community that makes me want to come and post here everyday. Although, you distract me from what I'm posting about as I probably browse TL more than I play SC2.

Thanks for the awesome website,

Alou

My TL reading time is at least three times as much as playing SC2.
It's all TL's fault that I'm not a progamer yet.

dude, its a new game, take your time!

you are a part of lots of important events on Teamliquid as well as iccup and behind you are inflow gaming people. you will have lots of opportunity to train and learn.

i think you just need to set yourself a goal: if you want to be better at sc2, tell Diamond to handle iccup stuff for you for a month and focus on training :D. you dont need to play lots to be good, people who get into diamond right at phase 1 first try like me mostly bc we have previous gaming experience or have spent a lots of time watching pros play and learn from them.

Good luck my friend :D

edit: confused between inflow and vT, damn it
Im daed. Follow me @TL_NB
