CHECK OUT THE VIDEO-- !! WHAT DO YOU THINK?!?!?




Now that the video is out of the way, we can talk about my main point. Starcraft 2 is quickly reaching the point where we see one of two things. One, being that players quickly notice the skill ceiling. I have found mine. In Beta I was Diamond. In Release, I was Gold. And with lots of practice, and games-- I reached Platnium. Now placed back into gold.

I realize that there is a serious skill gap. Players, and viewers, and even losers like me who just like to TALK about the game.. I just can't be with the best.

This is what blizzard wanted with the game, and thats good-- it makes it really awesome to watch the best players in the world play, but it makes it hard for me to play against even average players. I am not the best.. but I just need practice. Lets see if I can get back to Platinum. At least.

Who knows? Life is tough for a SC2 nerd.

10% of the time, I am awesome.

I am sorry but i find this style of video very annoying. you talk 3 minutes saying nothing...
don't think a lot of people here are gonna like this.

maybe you could do less freaking out and provide some content. ( and pls no 3 words !cut! 1 liner !cut! 2 words !cut! stuff )
Inputting special characters into chat should no longer cause the game to crash.

you realize high platinum translates to E on the iccup ladder? Surely even you can't be that terrible

God shut the fuck up about this stupid iccup bull shit. ICCUP != SC2 You can't directly corralate the 2 things!!!!!!!! And so what if he is, like you're some fucking gosu, theres a reason we've never heard of ya "bra".

Im just a D+ toss noobie from sc1. 2k diamond easy (I don't even use colossus)

Really it just comes down to mechanics for most games, who controls better, who macros better.

People get wayyyy to tied up in "build orders" and "practicing"

I just play the game and it works for me. ezpz

I haven't played ladder in like 7 weeks but I still play a gmae or two each week with low-mid diamonds and maintain that fact. I prefer watching and talking about starcraft, along with all pro-games, that doesn't mean you can lose the aspect of the game that is small execution and a proper build order.

I agree with both of you.

Shouldn't really compare, but if you were to compare, anything below diamond is d-/e. His point is that surely anyone can get out of plat/gold if they want to, but in actuality some people just don't have the competitive drive to care enough. Sure they COULD if they were forced to, but a lot of people don't play games like that.

There, now you've got a sort of decent player comparing.

I think the point he's trying to make is that there is no reason you shouldn't be able to pass platinum league if you really want to because the only thing holding you back is basic mechanics. It's not even strategy at that point, it's just simple macro. Did you playbroodwar? Because you totally can correlate starcraft BW and starcraft 2.
