fuck this game. tired of getting raped a thousand times and winning only 20 percent of my games. been playing for about 3 months now and I am starting question my accumulated knowledge that I have acquired so far. How come I never feel safe in this game? No matter how bad I beat him early game, I still have to play 100 percent or risk getting steamrolled. i swear this game is trying to kill me. one mistake and I can get fucked over. fuck storms and medics.

long live bw. time to go hit vods again, I thought I was past that stage but hell frigging no.

Hey whats your account, we should practice! Do you have that replay pack of something like 500 pro replays? Whenever I'm stuck, I just load up those replays and look how the pro player reacts to it..very useful..and whats more it also encourages you to play more, it's a lot better than watching vods, cause you obviously get to see a lot more.

Just remember man, in the scheme of things, 3 months is nothing. Even alot of casual players have been playing for years and years. Keep at it! Are you playing on iccup?

Instead of making a blog post you should have post a replay of the games that you think "you were doing well in the early stage" and some how loses that advantage . There is something wrong if you can't capitalized the opportunity that you have created for your self . The lack of experience in finishing the game can be the cause of the factor, or you simply do not know how to out expand your opponent may be the cause of this .

Also How come I never feel safe in this game ? Well welcome to broodwar, your opponent isn't your friend, if they aren't killing you right now they are scheming something up to kill you at the later stage that's why you have to keep checking to gain intel on what your enemy is doing .

You're probably not that bad at this. People are just too good.

And is your rank consistent? Because 20% ratio means you're dropping...

Ive played this game for too long now, dont even care if i lose. The only time i actually get upset is when someone BMs me in the beginning of the game and then wins. And that happens very rarely (it did yesterday but besides for that...)
Bisu[about JD]=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.

3 months isn't much when getting better at broodwar. It takes most people at least a year to get good enough not to embarrass themselves in my experience lololol

Try to not be that hard on yourself.
You also play zerg if I'm not mistaken, and it's a race that requires a lot of experience because it's extremely reactionnary (not talking about zvz a match-up that has a feel of its own...). Especially zvt, terran can more or less do whatever he wants, and you have to be able to read and react properly to almost anything.
Personnally, at one point, without any apparent reason my winrate suddenly soared,and I got to D+ very fast.
And yeah, post a replay or two =)

I don't understand this.

No one is ever past this point.

Even Soulkey says that he watches JD vods and JD says that he watches Soulkey vods.

Dont be that hard on yourself.

Zerg is the hardest race to play in SC:BW, due to the mechanics (no buildings group, unit groups of 12), imo. So props to you for playing Z.

Also, 3 months is nothing compared to the potential 15 years of experience people can have with this game... Obviously they will feel the game way easier than you do.

I wouldn't call Zerg the hardest race to play, Terran at the lower levels of BW is mechanically the hardest imo(espescially vP)

However each race is hard to play, BW is Hard, PvZ, ZvT, TvP are all hard, either way keep trying and you will find yourself improving. And you are never ever past the point where you need to watch vods or replays.

BW is hard to play and impossible to master.

Keep in mind that the majority of people you're playing against have probably been playing for years, I've been playing this game for over ten years and I still lose

Don't give up though, when you do start having some success it will be very satisfying.

just make sure you're still having fun... i'm like 30% or worse this season i think, but playing any matchup and just trying out your own things is the best part of the game for me.

Keep it up man.

Sounds like you play Z, its probably the most frustrating (but also funnest) race in my experience. Just make sure you are having fun, don't be pressured to win too much, everyone is gosu on iccup.
