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 . | ||

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

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 =) | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Also, terran is the hardest, but the game as a whole is hard. >.< You have to admit though, that 20% of the time you win it feel great. | ||

100% of the winning games I will burst in happiness. 50% of the games I lost I actually had so much fun that I don't mind losing. The other 50% is a mix of raging vs Z in general and raging vs cheese. Keep on. | ||

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. woah that’s nuts. where you find that? But how do you know which one’s to watch if you ever have a specific question about a certain build or scenario? So many replays.

Good advice and yeah I should post more replays, it’s just that I feel showing my replays are a waste since my macro and micro is what is causing all the problems.

I get BM a lot but I always find it funny because my opponents are chobos just like me. Shouldn’t we be helping each other fight the higher ranks?!

I still watch vods on my ipod at night but when I first started playing I would take notes of every vod or replay (like listing the BO and events).

It took me about 3 months just to learn how to LEARN about the game. Let's not forget the large amounts of "conditioning" (practicing strategy, macro, and mechanics) that are also necessary. This game can be an enormous time-sink. If you want to be even C level you'll need probably a good year's worth of practice. Ok, maybe not a year, but it's going to take a long time. All the while you're going to be destroyed in more ways than you can number. Learn from it and use it to get better! | ||
