O well, hello TL folk. I am new to this place and this is my 1st blog entry so i am kinda nervous because i didn't write a blog before. So in this blog i gonna introduce myself and tell how i met with StarCraft and passed to starcraft(also sorry if i do any mistakes with my english!).
As you can see i am a player from Turkey. I know, kinda dumb country but i live in Turkey so i can't do something about it. My name is Orkan and i am a 18 years old boy who trys to master SC2 and a computer maniac which spends his time in front of a computer playing games. And yes i am a Noob at StarCraft, that's why my title is Adventures of a noob. In this blog serie i'll write how do i improve my StarCraft skills and tell my adventures weekly(hopefully!). I am looking forward to it and hoping i won't bore people who reads this blog. And for today i decided to write how i did meet with StarCraft and get into it.
I was 5 years old when i met with my 1st computer. It was an Armstrat, an old school computer. It made me addictive to computers even tho it was a really old computer. I was asking for a computer wherever i go. So 1 day when i was with my father at my uncle i met with StarCraft. It was a fun game for me even thought i was 7 years old. I was amazed by graphics after my Armstrat and it was interesting with those "things" which makes "heep heep heep" noises. Thought i was able to play it only for 30 min. Later on i forgot the game but images were in my head. When i was 11 i met with the game again, at an internet cafe. I did mistakely click on the icon and found out it was the game which i did play before so i did put game's name into my mind: StarCraft. I didn't see the game for 5 years after that day. This time, i met with the game at a gaming store, i was checking games and saw StarCraft was a bestseller and it was cheap! I bought it without thinking and went to home asap. Installed the game and went into Bnet. I was a total looser compared to other players so i decided to go for campaign. Finished campaign and tryed to master all 3 races with custom games against AI and at last i was able to beat a 8 player FFA game. So i returned to Bnet althought this took my 1 year and i saw SC2 was coming at youtube. I was excited and meanwhile cursing because i was able to enjoy SC newly and 2nd game were up already. Then Beta came and i met with HDStarcraft and later on Husky. Even thought i wasn't watching tournaments it made me excited to watch a tournament. WhiteRa won the tournament and became my hero and then SC2 came out. I didn't watch tournaments after HDH till i get SC2. And then i got SC2 and met with H to the Usky Husky again. Kept playing alone for awhile with my cousin, didn't want to join a community for awhile while i watch Husky. Then my account got hacked somehow and i got a new account and this time, i decided to go serious with SC2 and here i am. A sucky noob who was at Gold and afraid to lose at 1v1s. And right atm i am trying to be a pro which i won't be able to i guess
and i guess this is all...Cya guys later! Also if you wanna add me at Eu Battle.net: Darchrow / #977

Also i am looking for teachers who can teach me improved tactics in game. (I know most of tactics due Husky and Day[9] but still, i never saw them in game due low rank rushers.)

*****
If i lose, it's ok. Just know that i learn more with my mistakes.

Haha, cute writing!

I hope you find yourself a good teacher, or at least a training partner :}

I'll try to read your blogs as long as you name them equally (2nd entry, 3rd entry, etc =P)
