This year, i decided I was going to be good at starcraft 2. Why? Terrans in the GSL look badass with all their cool hellion/drop play.and then tanks make them look badass with their accompanying marine control. Thats gonna be me, i say. Then, i found out about the z33k daily and wanted free money every night just for playing.

So today I started.
MMA's fast drop

I have more respect for MMA than i ever have. I cannot even fathom staying true to his build once the starport starts building. I don't have the multitasking to just do his macro, let alone his micro.

So, I don't feel like I'm awesome. in fact, when i laddered i lost every time TERRIBLY.

The light in the tunnel:
How to get better in starcraft2- slayers bekho.

I may not think that its even possible for me to get diamond(like i did with toss easily) but I'm going to try because Slayers motherfukin bekho told me i should.

Terran is too hard, though.

Thanks for reading!

TvZ and TvT are so hard for me right now i feel like i'm doing stuff that was good 3 month ago and i'm rolled over hardcore. TvP hasn't changed much, just has to swtich to ghost faster...

Definitely keep on trying with Terran! They're probably the most fun race to play, so hopefully the practice is also fun.

(I'm Zerg 1v1, random in team.)

Terran IS hard. T.T

Brotoss is easy since all you do is make units from a few buildings, while with T I found managing all that macro to be a nightmare.

Surprised this hasn't been a bunch of P/Z chiming in to bash you!

Terran macro is freaking stressful.
now run into the setting sun, and suffer, but don't mess up your hair.

You only have 3 production buildings, with multiple building hotkeys the thing I have the most problem with is knowing when/how many extra production buildings to make.

Terran is harder then people think, the multitasking to play TvZ is pretty high imo, you constantly need to be pressuring the zerg in some way during most of the game, and marine splitting is pretty unforgiving if you fuck up.

TvP is kinda the same, but you have alot more timings you can hit early game, so its a bit more flexible and funner to play imo.

Terran does have the best mirror matchup though, with so many openings, games are constantly fresh for the most part.

One I think I will say is to try not to let your Orbital energy go above 100. It's incredibly important, and I dont buy all the " lol if you hit 200 energy just spam E on minerals". That much money you could have had would have translated to more units at a certain point in the game, which could have then led to a timing attack that could have won you the game. Missing mules adds up quite a bit...

GL with terran in the future yo.

Missing mules is sorta much worse then people make it out to be, because if you were playing zerg it would be pretty awesome seeing as how you can remacro from a load of larvae, but with all those minerals you're floating you can only build out of the infrastructure you've got, you will be queuing (unless you compensated for your failure, which you probably shouldnt lol).

The reason I like Terran is because of TvT because when I play ZvZ or PvP it just feels so boring.
