EPT
I've been playing StarCraft 2 since September 2010 on and off, I originally played StarCraft 1 when I was but a wee lad. Ironically, I played it on the Nintendo 64 if anyone still remembers that (if you thought it was hard to play SC1 with mouse and keyboard, then this was impossible). Anyways, at the time I didn't really find it that attractive a game. I liked the story but I didn't have any inkling to play it more competitively. I was young, so shoot me!
I'm going to fast forward to the present. Perhaps the history lesson I will leave for another post! I've been working really hard at StarCraft because it is the one game that I've come back to time after time and still had the same enjoyment as the first time I played.
I have mentioned many times to my girlfriend of five years how badly I want to be good at the game, and she supports me. I'm so glad to have her support because there have been times were I would feel stuck and uninterested in continuing to practice.
For the fourth season, I was placed in Platinum division and was over-joyed with my progress. But I really want grow but school had to take priority. So my play time was significantly cut down, I was placed into Gold for the fifth season and have been so out of practice that I haven't been able to get out of it yet.
I don't quite know where I'm heading with this at the moment, I'm just trying to get my thoughts out.
I worry I'm trying to work to many things at the same time; like proper build orders and more effective micro (like using your siege tanks to focus fire banelings) and more scouting.
I guess what I'm looking for is one of those videos, that people started putting out when people were having troubles with bullies in high school, the 'It gets better' video, where the persons like: it's okay high school isn't the end of the world, there's so much out there to live for.
I'm waiting for the StarCraft version: don't worry, bronze isn't the end of it all, the cheese does stop, and you do get to play some macro games
Anyways, this has made me feel better, just makes me want to keep practicing knowing that I can get there one day if I work at it!
