Being afraid of losing is probably a thing that holds alot of people back from improving, there's nothing that helps. If you have better friends that's probably even better but i imagine you'll have to ladder it up some day to go as far as you can. But it all depends on where you wanna get to, if it's just an average understanding of the game then it really doesn't take much work to get average diamond blah blah. You should play bw! just to appreciate how much better and more demanding it is | ||

I get embarrassed and immediately think I should be good at everything.  It's a bad thing to do, haha.So maybe playing BW and losing a lot will be good. ;D I definitely think i'm going to play though. Yeah, my boyfriend is much better than me, and so is our other friend, and I play with them lots. I try to 1v1 my friends as well. But it's hard xD I don't want to get mad at them for winning XD! Thank you though! | ||

As for BW, those saying that it helped a ton are those who played it while waiting for SC2 to come out. | ||

Once you learn to accept that you're going to lose -- once you let go of that part of your ego -- is when you really start to progress. Can't win without losin'. As for BW, those saying that it helped a ton are those who played it while waiting for SC2 to come out. Stop posting in my blogs. /chases you with fire Can we 1v1? You seem like you're pretty good, and I HATE TvT! :[ ^_^ | ||

Still is probably a decent amount of FMP and BGH though I would think on public servers. I also think SC has much better UMS compared with sc2 currently. | ||

I wanted to try it too so i asked my Asian friend if he doesnt have original SC:BW and he just said yea sure i will bring you it tomorrow. : ) That night i played him it ended 1:1 (he was more WC3 type than SC) but still i will remember that matches forever. So i had some free time and i tried play it against ppl on b.net. I found just few servers but it was enough. 1st game: I have still no idea from where that Zealots came from but i think it was across the map, behind that river where i never been cause its even so hard to scout for me. 2nd game: Wooohoooo i did a Lurkers, but WTF he can see my lurkers : ( i need a scourges ! and how i was looking for from where i can get em i dont have no more hatcheries and he is asking me if this is my 1st game : ( 3rd game: T powaaaa ! Z wanted to muta me but yea my turrets are EVERYWHERE ! and im one big turtle boy hoping for the best ! Battle cruisers on tha way ! ..... i can tell you 1 battle cruiser > 100 expansions 200/200 just army cause he didnt need drons more, there are no minerals... He said it was fun play Monopoly with me. I said Monopoly FTW ! 4th game: There wasnt 4th game and never will be cause i dont want to waste time of that guys. END: It was worth of it i love that game and you will too its so much fun even you are the biggest nub out there | ||

I'll probably try playing after this weekend, since I won't be home. Going to a LAN party. Maybe i'll try it on a friends computer?Once I get it going though, i'll send you a message. Thanks!

DotA , HoN) I just played and watched vods non stop and after a few months i got into Platinum. Im #11 in my ladder right now with 1.1k points. If you really want to learn something , just put effort in it and you'll get the results that you're trying to find. Haha, I used to play DotA all the time with friends, wasn't that good though, haha. So does watching VODs and replays really help then? My friends said it was better to just keep playing.

For getting into "serious" gaming though sc1 wouldn't be good because the only people left doing melee I feel would be fairly advanced. Still is probably a decent amount of FMP and BGH though I would think on public servers. I also think SC has much better UMS compared with sc2 currently. Okay. O: I think i'll definitely do the campaign then, just because.

 ).You will never improve if you are not actually having fun with the game.If you like both games just play them both.At your level mechanics are the thing that needs the biggest improvement anyway. GL | ||
