EPTI am new to this community, and I joined mainly because I thought fairly poorly of my play skills being that I am in mostly Diamond Leagues, but yet I have bad macro and micro skills compared to others in my high leagues, but I am VERY experienced. I've been playing Starcraft ever since the first game hit the stores in 1998! I used to be a very heavy melee player back in the day, but for about 8 or so years I had stopped playing melee and lost most of my skill. This does not mean I still don't know how to play .
I got back into melee when Starcraft 2 came out! I wanted to get my edge back and get back into the game. I bought the game as soon as it came out in stores and I was excited! It was almost like I was diving into a whole new world of Starcraft all over again. I started off in the low bronze leagues and I fought my way up the ranks and leagues using my own build orders and strategies. I absolutely loved it!
There was no standard yet and all these new build orders and strategies were being developed, and it was just an interesting time. Now the game has matured, standard build orders are out, and I was late to learn them. I was still fighting my way through the Platinum leagues using my own build orders, but alas, they only got me so far. I had to start trying new things when I reached the top of my division. I some how luckily won enough games to reach the low end Diamond Leagues!
Once I hit Diamond, it was a whole new world for me. I was getting smashed right and left and facing unit compositions and build orders that I was just not ready for! I went from winning 60% of my games to winning just 50% or even that. Now I sit at the mid-level Diamond Leagues struggling to learn new builds, tactics, strategies and improving my micro and macro skills to rise to the top of my division and reign supreme.
I wish I had found a community earlier to find some one to help me improve my game! I had to learn everything on my own from Bronze to Diamond! So if you are like me and looking for all the help you can get and for some one you can turn to when you need some training and improvement or to just talk Starcraft 2 Theory, then I am here for you! I feel your pain, I know what you've been through. I was there once! Feel free to come find me.
