Alot of my friends that played halo got sc2. They thought the game was easy to pick up, and then they found out that they were really terrible at it. They were all pulling about 10 or 15 apm with no understanding of build orders or strategy in general. I offered my help but none accepted except for one of my friends w a PS3(possible trend). I was able to get him up to gold but he's still playing at only about 15-25 apm. Fast forward by a month, and none of them have even touch bnet.

Well it's easy to LEARN the basics of the game. I, like most people, started off in single player learning all the units, abilities and names. THAT is easy. But survival and multiplayer skills, micro and macro are a never ending journey.

All the REAL skills I learned for SC I got from playing online and watching VODs.

Heh, you know, a lot of people probably will not be able to hit diamond at this game no matter how hard they try, and the applies to people around mid level diamond who will never be as good as Idra.

I'm willing to bet most high level players right now have had an extensive RTS history. So how do you propose to teach a guy who thinks Halo is the greatest game of all time to play SC2? The reverse is also true for myself: there is no way in hell I'll ever be at a decent level in a game that uses a controller to aim after having played SC and CS on the PC since 1999-2000.

Anyways, it's no big deal that your buddies don't take the game seriously. Just play some team games with them and have some fun doing goofy shit.

lol... SC is the complete opposite of what they think it is.

If anything, SC is one of THE hardest if not THE hardest game to play/get good at

I persuaded my friends to play and I learned that you can't push them to get better because everytime I play them, I just destroy them. As a result, they didn't want to play 1v1 with me anymore. However, if you let your friends play with your other sucky friends, they'll improve together and they'll be more motivated.

I know man, it just seems I can't get any of my friends to play SC2. I don't want to lay into them because maybe it's just not their kinda game. We all have those games/game types we don't care for. The problem is, when I see them all playing the exact same thing that's trending like COD, Halo, etc., it just makes me think they don't like starcraft because it's not instant action / gratification the way shooting someone is in an FPS. Just my two cents.

I don't think it's really fair to say something like 'instant gratification' in this case. There's nothing wrong with not playing a game because you think it's too hard to get into.
Besides, for most people gaming is just a way to relax. They don't really care about getting better, just about having some fun before going to work/school or whatever.

forget about this friend of yours and just stick to playing with your online friends.. I separated both my IRL friends who only seem to pick up dota or other FPS games while I keep my SC BW SC 2 friends in line with me.

To tell you honestly your friend doesn't seem competitive enough for this game, you really should have that certain "rage within attitude" to play this game properly. Since he already gave up just let him be
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a
