I bought Starcraft 2 shortly after its release and played through much of the campaign, but ended up not being able to stay away from custom games and trying to barely grasp the basics of multiplayer. I wanted to learn Zerg... which was a bit difficult, but I felt the harder the beginning race the easier it would get to learn after the curve... and I'm addicted to Zerg.

Regardless, I've started on and off, basically giving up with 1v1 because my anxiety gets to me before the countdown ends after I select quick match. This month though, this is the month I really want to work past that anxiety, work over the initial macro mechanical hurdles and start my run towards actually having more fun than panic during games.

So as of today, March 24th (ten days after my birthday) I've started. I'm keeping a journal of games I play and progress I feel that I'm making. What to improve on is in my sights, but moreover how can I have more fun as I play the game. Slowly I feel that I am learning more and more.


I decided that I'll be playing either Random or Zerg, but it seems that Zerg is what I feel most comfortable with even though I'm still getting over the "when to drone and when to fight" bump. Regardless, if anyone would like to get in touch to practice, spar or even coach I'm completely open with too much free time.


Thanks for reading!
Koshka

When the ladder resets man, I'm going to just play and not care about wins or losses.
I might even just drop down to Bronze to play around and enjoy the game as itself and not about statistics that don't matter beyond the game.

What's up with the username? Are you a guy?

Would bet you don't live in Russia, English is too good.

@thehorse
Username is an old nickname a girl gave me in high school, it was her old nickname when she lived in northern Russia. I'm a cat person and most of my friends are girls so it sorta just stuck, but I dig the nickname. Ingame name is Koshka

Yes I'm a guy.

I do know a bit of Russian and I'm learning more along with some Chinese.
