Lol. Throwing away time and effort eh? Cause its such a waste of time to do an activity purely for fun because you enjoy it.

Nice try though.

Jesus you went 2-89 your first season? And the game was still fun for you? That's dedication!


Yea. I've always been pretty good at being process driven and not results driven. I don't get too concerned if I win or lose ever, particularly if I felt I played a decent game.Even when I was that bad I still felt like I was improving, but it was negligible when you bank 10k every game.

Congratulations dude! I love reading these success stories. They're quite inspiring.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

I remember when I got to D+!!! First thing I did was tell my GF. I think that was when she realized that Starcraft is serious business.

It is always a good thing to see people still giving BW a go. I for one never managed to get past like 1500 D with protoss when I was playing, but the game was still incredibly fun for me. I guess for the most part I just couldn't deal with accepting those 10-90 seasons.

Anyway, congratulations for making it to D+, it's definitely quite a feat considering the level of people on Iccup nowadays. Good luck with getting to the yellow ranks, hope you won't forget to make a battle report then as well!

Congratulations ^^
It feels awesome. I my case.. it was really hard just to maintain that D+ I was up and down between 1800-2100. Until once (I dont know why exactly, maybe the tons of pro VODs that I've been seing) reach the 2500 with 5 victories straight. Sadly the season over at that time, and now I'm starting all over again with Terran

One thing that can help is playing with other races. As terran I'm discovering so many things (weak points, timings, etc) that I didnt know about that race when I was protoss.

So practice, good luck and have fun! ^^

Your story is simmilar to mine in how sc2 had an especially negative impact for coming out just as you were in the thick of your broodwar love.
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?
