I just got a laptop and I have finally started playing SC2 again, after about a 10 week break. I played against my friend (who is in bronze :S) and then started my placement. My macro got significantly weaker over the break, but it is decent. The first two guys i played were terran. First one did the stupid 111 all in with marines and tanks. (I play as toss but I'm a fan of terrans, go figure) The second game I played against a diamond (wtf, I'm in gold ) and he went for a MMM + tank composition and just outmacro'd me hardcore. So the first two games I've played I've gotten completely dismantled, but hopefully it gets better later.

from the sound of things try to work on picking up you're macro so you don't get out played as a starting point to get to masters

I hope you bought a mouse to go along with that laptop. Otherwise you might not be promoted for a while

Yeah I have one I've tried playing on the trackpad, it's terrible.

Yeah definitely lol, I've been getting supply blocked so much >_< Wish I had a computer to play on over the summer because I lost my macro skills.
