same, at that level you shouldnt be working on builds, all you need to work on are mechanics up until at least diamond. ofc the builds you use should be somewhat viable, but even the best build is worthless in the hands of a player that cant eXecute it properly. gl hf!

Whatever you do don't be afraid to ladder. It's not scary unless you make it scary.

good job working on builds, make sure you have your opening builds really well understood (and executed) and that you understand whatever your plan is if the build works/doesnt works/he does something crazy. From that point on you can have lots of fun (there's nothing worse than someone who asks for advice about a game they played when they fucked up the build as that's something that you can perfect on your own in single player!)
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

This man knows what he's talking about.
People constantly say "don't worry about builds, just macro"
Which is true to some extent, but mastering an opener early on has tons of benefits and sets you up with an economic lead.

4 years ago when I first started actually doing 1v1's in Brood War (I had done TONS of customs before that, but the only thing that makes you better at 1v1's is 1v1's) I had to play probably 50 games before I had any control at all. I won some games, lost most of them, but my wins and losses were not under my control. I was simply trying things out and if my opponent chose to beat me then he would. I had an irrational fear of attacking because I didn't want my units to die and I LOVED static defense (don't) just to name a few of my flaws.

Regardless of macro/micro ability, having a build or even having a plan, it still takes probably 50 games before your actions really make any difference in the outcome of the game.

Don't be discouraged though. I was in 8th grade and didn't know that TeamLiquid existed so you'll probably get the hang of it much faster than I did. GLHF

Yes, exactly that. You want to get better for sure, but see it as a game and not as a job. Keep having fun is most important!
