That part made me laugh  When u reach a decent level, like C+ u'll also meet ppl who can scout/micro/macro at the same time! I suggest that u practise always having your army out on the map, close to his base while maintaining good macro. U'll improve a lot faster!  I remember when I got to a certain point on ladder where I couldn't just out macro the people I played. Like, I would play a Korean PvP and we would do the same exact build, and I had to learn how to simply improve my gameplay and macro and just outplay him rather than using some random trick or something like that. It was such a good feeling though! That's what I loved about Brood War. You had to put a lot of time into getting better, but when you play a player that looks to be pretty decent and you just outplay him and prove yourself to be superior, it's such an amazing feeling. In Brood War, winning proved you were more of a man. In SC2... | ||

On a more serious note, congrats on exploring the beauty of Brood War land... wish I could go back and be so newbie and experience that great feeling of learning BW all over again. Have fun and enjoy your adventures! that actually made me laugh the most But sadly iccup now even at D+ or higher level is filled with players that in its active seasons would be d-. no really surprise i dont think | ||

That was HARD. I peaked out around C-, but spent most of my time playing elevator up and down the D ranks. Still stuck in Plat in SC2.  | ||

Automining, MBS, etc. are completely unnecessary, but what I disliked about BW and made the game hard for me was that I'd always run out of hotkeys since I played zerg. When I offrace as protoss and to a lesser degree terran, this problem is less pronounced, but as zerg... it was hell having to 5sh6sh7sh8sd9sd, 1a2a3a4a... oh wait there are no more freaking hotkeys, have to manually select It was honestly a choice between better macro or better unit management. On 1 hand, if I had hatches on hotkeys 5/6 to 0, I'd have random groups of lings dying to pokes since I'm no progamer and can't react fast enough without the units on a hotkey. On the other hand, if I used more hotkeys for unit control groups my macro would inevitably slip. My own frustration of course makes me respect the S-class zerg players that much more. | ||

I imagine many workers sitting idly next to the mineral patches they were rallied to. The things that drove me insane the most are: Getting a worker out of the mineral line. Building stuff. If you just tell a guy to build something, they will find the lamest excuse not to. You need to babysit everything and make sure they'll get to work before doing real stuff. Getting things moving. Apparently choke points lose 90% of their strategical value if things that pass through it are not disarmingly stupid. Pullback micro. Units get stuck EVERYWHERE. Move back the weak ones, HA. Probes are simply OP. | ||

P.S. (well not really, once I get back to SC2 access I'll stick to that I promise to check in on BW every now and again though! And the experience has been extremely beneficial, insofar as I now understand the enormity of the skill difference between the two games >.<) | ||
