 I wanted him to actually get good, but he thought it was going to be easy. It really isn't that easy. Kind of a pointless blog I know, but sort of wanted to vent about that. I don't know too many people IRL that plays Starcraft. It would have been cool to have a friend that would play Starcraft with me.   | ||

But yeah, SC takes a lot of practice and consistency (just see idra). Tell your mates to watch some pro gamers replay. | ||

BW has a larger learning curve because mechanics can only be gained over time, and it's more APM/multitasking dependent compared to SC2. SC2 is still quite hard for the average gamer/casual player, though. | ||

A lot of people are really bad at getting others into the game though. They say stuff like "watch these VODs, download these replays, memorise these build orders, play 1000 games." Sure that's what they have to do to get good, but newbies should be treated more like young children, you get them interested and self-motivated by teaching them in a more casual way before slamming 20 textbooks in front of them. | ||

At least that's how it is with everyone I've shown starcraft to. | ||

EDIT: Like the poster said above me, getting them to watch you play will help a lot. I have a lot of LAN's at my house and them seeing me play, or watch sc / sc2 all the time helped a lot. | ||

He had a lot of troubles with macro, or even A-moving. I kept trying to get him to A-move but he just wouldn't. He would right click separate units and some of his units would just stand there while the front 2 shot the zerglings or something. | ||

My friends and I all used to think we were great until I discovered TL and PGT and starting to learn how to actually play the game. | ||
