Warning: This post is pure noob thoughts

I've been playing some of the practice league, and one thing I've been really happy about is how I haven't given up on a game just because I have suffered some loses. One game last night I was busy teching hard, and I had only a few lings, when all of a sudden there were about 10 lings in my main! I quickly spawned roaches and lings, and managed to hold it off, though I lost a lot of drones. However when that battle was coming to an end I put a Nydus in my opponent's base and sent all my remaining units over there. As it happened +1 armor just finished, and the few lings he had died quickly and he quit the game. I was so happy because when so many of my drones had died as well as the queen I thought I was dead for sure.

In a similar game vs T today my expansion went down to some marines (which I killed), and then again to Helions, and the guy was also trying to harass with banshees. I thought I must be behind, so when I'd had enough I took my roaches and hydras out to his base and just killed his expansion and busted down the front door. What I was pleased about in this game was that I'm pretty sure if I had been in his shoes I wouldn't have given up. When he quit he had actually killed all my hydras and he had a banshee which would have killed the 6 roaches in his main. At the time I was preparing to send over a few hydras by nydus, but IMO it wasn't over at all. Anyway, I was glad to win that one, and I'm learning a lot about how to defend and then attack!

Yeah it goes to show don't rush to leave a game... even if you really aren't going to win there can be things you learn from the next minute or two of game play so stay until you are pretty darn sure it's over.

I've noticed not quitting when things look rough is the biggest difference between my friends (Diamond players) and me (Silver!). They tough it out and pull wins out of nowhere.
