Well guys I just got done with placement and now I am rank 9. Thank you guys for all the support on my last post, the hotkey practice really helped. I'm starting to get over the ladder anxiety, and I would say I am doing pretty good. I have a really good pvt and ok pvz but I am just horrible at pvp so if anybody has any tips for that I would love it.

Hopefully I can get to silver this season.

You need good micro to do anything else, so I would recommend learning a good 4gate and doing that every PvP. If you pull it off decently, you should do fine until at least platinum level where protoss are better at handling 4gate and can thus make more interesting builds, and that's about the time you can start experimenting as well.

Do people in bronze league leave all the time? I purposely placed myself bronze last season, and it has been constantly people leaving in the beginning of games

Are you trolling him? That is terrible advice. People aren't in Bronze league because of micro. He needs to work on building units and not getting supply blocked. I guarantee if you watch one of his replays the biggest problem won't be micro, and I doubt at Bronze fixing your micro alone would get you much higher anyways.

I never said he should fix his micro. I said he should learn to do the 4gate, because it's the only viable build in PvP unless you have good micro, which he doesn't, because he is bronze.

If you actually read my post, you would have realized my advice is sound and hardly trolling.

. Sure it may not be interesting but I feel the need to talk to other people who play the game as more then just a game. I play on a crappy computer that can barely handle sc2 on low graphics without lagging. I hope that some day I can rank up.


If anyone actually read his previous blog you'd know that his micro concerns aren't due to lack of skill, but equipment problems.

Learning how to 4gate is useful, and it is a good build, on certain maps without a ramp into the main, such as Tal'Darim Altar.

It may be people trying to tank their ranking, so that they can get easy wins later on. Considering that you purposely placed yourself in bronze, it's not too unlikely that your MMR is so low that you're facing players who have done the same thing.
Done with Team Liquid for a while. Don't expect to find me here.

i play my pvp hyper aggressive, i open with phoenix (but that requires higher apm them you might have at this moment)

but yea as the guy said at the top pvp is micro intensive so a solid 4 gate with good unit control and constant production will get you to mid plat and the 4 gate helps you develop your mechanics micro and macro so you can do other stuff with better results in all your matchups like the phoenix opener so a solid 4 gate will open the gateway to many other builds

Pun intended :D

GL with silver btw :D
