I've never written anything even remotely like a blog before, but I guess if I really want to get into Starcraft 2 I should do something to make the experience a bit better. To tell you the truth, I'm looking for someone who is willing to play with me. Not in the way a coach plays with you, but as a friend or just an acquaintance.

I've had the game for a month or so, but I haven't been really able to get into it. I like the game a lot, but playing against other people sort of frightens me, if that makes any sense. I recently started playing some games against the AI to get my initial build order into order, no pun intended. Oh, and I play Protoss, never tried the other races, but I guess I would be willing to try them at least, but for the time being I'll stick with Protoss.

So, anyway, if anybody is willing to play some games, would be better if you weren't in a higher league than, let's say, platinum. I did my placement matches, won two of them only, and got stuck into Silver. Haven't played 1v1 since. Oh, and before I forget, I'm in the EU server. The reason I'm looking for people to play with here, is because I've read some of the blogs here and the forums and I find that everybody here is quite nice, whereas when I go into a chat in-game I find mostly pricks. No offence to anybody I might have talked to in the in-game chat Also, nobody I know plays RTS games such as Starcraft 2, always console games or other genres on the PC. You guys won't believe what kind of people I know, they won't even be willing to give this game a chance, even though I've given them several reviews to read and brought up all sort of awesome stuff about it, but it just won't stick.

Alright, I'm rambling about things I have no reason to talk about whatsoever. Now. I do intent to write about some experiences I have with the game of course, but mostly I'm just looking for some people to play with, heh.

Alrighty, then, I'm going to end this for now, so if you are willing to play on the EU server, send me a pm or something. Thanks. Cya laterz(lame z is lame).

P.S. Does the Insane AI really cheat?

Damn, if I had an EU account I would totally play some games with you. And yes, the insane AI does cheat.

The Insane AI doesn't cheat, just receives like double the number of minerals per mine, therefore can produce much more than you off one base -- which is why they have impossible doom pushes . And i would play with you, but I don't want to scare you off. If you want to play against lower league players in a relaxed environment, i would suggest joining the Bronze Practice channel -- There are a lot of players there in a similar position to you wanting to improve.

Well, that does sound a bit like cheating . Too bad, Korinai, I'd like to play with you. Also, I'll try joining the Bronze Practice channel then, Merth. Thanks.

Oh, I should have also mentioned in the first post that I would be willing to play other games as well, like LoL or Bloodline Champions although I just suck so much at LoL because I really haven't played it that much.

I agree with merth... Join the bronze practice channel... It really is a great place to meet other sc2 players. And the best thing is that a lot of the people who started in the bronze practice channel early have progressed beyond diamond... But they're still in the channel to help lower league players.
If I'm online, I'm always in the channel, so if u see me drop me a message and we could have some games.

And my other advice is to try some different game types. Play 2v2 or 4v4 (team monobattles ftw!) or even just some custom games. SC2 is so much more than 1v1, so explore and have fun. Go kick ass in Aiur Chef or something
