'cause casuals aren't in it to get better, they just want the win. Practice hard, think critically, force yourself to fix your mistakes and gain good habits, and you'll be outta' there in no time.

How so? If you need to, don't play the macro game for now. Play aggressively -- and make sure to scout! Before you leave your base to scout, just send your SCV or probe or whatever around the edges of your base to see if there's a proxy. Get three Barracks down before expanding, or do a four-gate. Fight fire with fire.

We all had to deal with it, even the people who played in the beta had to aswell. Everyone starts out bad, unless you were some brood war pro, everyone has had to face multiple cheeses and had to push through that to get into longer and less cheesy games. You need to take the time and practice scouting out and defending these builds. If you can't beat 4 minute strategies, how are you going to be able to handle 10 minute or 15 minute strategies?

Gimme a PM if you want some practise. 2300 Diamond Zerg.

I still forget shit sometimes. I forgot stuff for the longest time when wrapping my brain around Brood War (RTSes.) It was the most frustrating shit ever. But if you keep forcing yourself to do these things, it eventually becomes unconscious action.

It's not just about making a big army. It's about mechanics and scouting. Oh god, is it about mechanics and scouting.

The game is hard to learn. Time to accept that

Switch to Zerg and 6pool every game.

Then you'll see who's doing the qq'ing hahahaha.

I was like that. >_>
Then I said no matter how poorly or how well I do, i'm going to end up in Bronze league anyway, so no point in procrastinating.
And now I wish I hadn't even bothered. >: U

Thanks for making me feel better. Remind to punch you in the face and balls repeatedly if I ever meet you IRL. Then you can see how it feels to get "advice" :'D

Well, theres only two things you can do, complain about being in bronze or set that thinking aside and striving to improve. If 6pool was overpowered it would have been removed already.

I only started playing sc in summer and am still learning the game. played broodwar for couple of months before getting sc2 and am now learning and practising strategies, so that i can win all my placement matches (1 won so far) and get into plat. going along the lines of "d=diamond," if i don't get into diamond i'll just quit and go back to css or cod4
