When my buddy got me into BW, it was hell for a newbie to try to be any good at it, I mean seriously I feel like you have to have some kind of innate gamer ownage particle in your body to even keep up with a B- player if you start out now in BW.

Me and him played tons of practice games in which I get demolished in. But whenever I held off a push, scouted very well, defended off friggin 3 - 5 prong attacks from the blazing Terran 400 APM-age, I felt so happy. It's well worth it if you enjoy challenges.

I swear it is so easy to pick out who played BW competitively and who didn't just by watching how well they controlled their units. The "small" fundamentals that the B- players have, have a HUGE impact on the noobs in SC2.

I have to say I totally agree with you OP.
In fact, I'm still to much of a procrastinating wimpy vagina that I have yet to play bw at all...
WHY AM I SO FUCKING AFRAID???

oh well, at least I'm not alone :p

It's the anticipation of fear and loss that is strong. Find a friend who will play with you and have him share vision. I guarantee you it will let you improve while removing your fear.

OK! Thanks for the advice everyone!
Feeling much better, though of course,
the fear of losing does not disappear.
Nada quoted, we should hate losing, but not fear it.
So, i'll take what he says as main inspiration.
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

Haha do what I do when I get raped in the C+ ranks. Go on east and rape some random pub noobs to make yourself feel better and make sure you have wdetector to avoid playing mostly hackers.

40 games on Iccup is nothing bro. The trick is finding someone who is willing to play with you and spend time to develop your game.

Playing BW is like playing piano. There is no way that you can improve in such a short time. But with a good partner, you can get decent in about 6 months i would say.

Can you post a replay? I'm having a REALLY REALLY hard time believing that you have 130 eAPM and yet can't win a single game, considering I'm C- with 100 eAPM
