Now that I finished the Starcraft II campaign for the second time after I made an NA account to go with SEA one, I headed out to multiplayer.

There is something about Starcraft II that makes it a very interesting game for me to play online. Maybe it's due to me getting nervous everytime I found a player during a Quick Match. I used to panic alot whenever I am playing, which is a sensation I never really got to experience with one other genre that I play the most, First-Person Shooters. In a shooter, it's easy to play as there is not much you need to learn as you play. In an RTS, I get pretty tense and I would lose focus and I always have this tendency to quit right now before it's too late. But I didn't!

I love the tense sensation when playing as a noob. It's a very common feeling that I might get over with in time. I will learn as I play more matches, though it might take longer considering the stuff I have to go through in RL.

So far, now that I am almost getting over with me being tense, I kinda started to take things slow. Since I am on placement matches anyway, I thought of experimenting what of stuff should I do. On the first match, I was able to scout the moment I finished up my first supply depot while I had my second SCV build me a barracks. On my second to third placement match, I thought of going for a constant assault, but it bit me in the as I got rushed my zerglings. On the fourth match, I was trying to improve my defenses only to find out that I was doing the right stuff on time to make a solid defense.

So, after I lost my first four matches, I don't feel as discouraged as I used to when I first played Starcraft on prepaid. I just need to play more and learn from my mistakes and have fun, whether I win or lose. If I get pissed, there is always a can of coka-cola to cheer me up.


Anyways, that's all I gotta write for now. Thanks. ^^

Just don't be too serious with the ladder.
You need to remember that everytime you lose a game your MMR gets lower and you get easier opponents in the ladder.
Just get 1 good build order/strategy for every matchup and stick with it (but no all in bullshit, you'll learn the game better by playing macro games).
There are several TvT, TvP, TvZ strategies in the Sc2 Strategy forum, just use the search function .


GL&HF in the ladder, Starcraft 2 can be so much fun!

no all in's eh? well, now that I think about it, I was trying so hard to refine the 7 Rax All In build TLO used against Idra in one match and against ScReaM in one other match Husky hosted. I should have taken into consideration the map size and the distance between me and my opponent.

I guess it's time I go back to basics.

I can relate to you man. I had like NO RTS experience before Starcraft II and in my placements I was doing some sweet builds like 3 pylons before gateway lol. It took be about 11 matches to win my first one and I got pretty discouraged, but I started trying to read up on strategy, watch some of the Day 9 dailies, and follow some pros in tournaments. Now about 1 month later I really think my play has improved and I just got promoted to silver. So fear not, even though it was rough and sometimes disheartening it feels really good to notice when your play just goes up a level so stick with it and you can do it!
