Back from Iraq with rusty SC2 skills

Long time no see TL!

I've spent the last 8 1/2 months in Iraq, and I am finally home. Before I left I was pretty happy with my SC2 game. Not being able to play for that long has done some damage and I barely remember anything. Not to mention that a few patches have come out and the metagame has seemed to change since I have been gone.

I was wondering if any of you wouldn't mind helping me get back up to speed. I just want to casually get back into the swing of things since playing feels awkward now instead of like a reflex. Before I left I was a Diamond Protoss player and even though I didn't play in a bit of Season 1 because I left for Iraq, I still finished with pretty good standings in my ladder.

I'd greatly appreciate any help, even if you are a gold or platinum level player. I'd like to use this chance not just to get back into SC2, but to get back into the community I love as well and get to meet some new people in the process.

Thanks!

One way to help, is me telling you to check out GSL/GSTL! You'll get to see how much the game has changed especially since GSL streams for so long and very good commentary.

It'd be interesting to see what rank you are now.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Edit: To adhere to the high posting standards of TL.net I am adding additional content to my post.


@OP:Thank you sir, for defending my country. As you have succeeded in building Iraq towards being a shining beacon of democracy in the Middle East, so you shall succeed at bringing down the evil forces of Terran. For God, for country, and for Aiur!

Catching up with the dailies is probably a good and casual way to start. http://blip.tv/day9tv

welcome back, my cousin is in the Navy and just deployed not too long ago.


I'm fucking awful at SC2 (I don't play it) so I can't be much help there, but I wanted to drop by :D
