I've been playing Sc2 since release and i aint getting any better at this game. Been a bronze since release.Dont know why im releasing this information here but, i got dyspraxia, dyscalculia and a touch with other things. I struggle with getting past the bronze leauge alot and well it sucks being there. I know im good, but i cannot place my thoughts in the correct place therefore i work best with someone telling me what to do.

Anyone got dyspraxia and playing Sc2? How do you cope with the fact that you cannot place your thoughts at the right place sometimes?

I don't have dyspraxia so I don't know how much that impacts your play, but I'll suggest that you change your attitude from "I know I'm good" to "I need to get better". I was in bronze at launch and have climbed up to diamond now all through knowing that;

I'm bad
I'm getting better
I need more workers
I need to scout more
I have too much money

However dyspraxia may have more of an effect than I know of but maybe changing your mindset and posting some replays we can help you out

If I remember correctly Totalbiscuit has dyspraxia (not sure, don't want to slander the man). He's made it into gold, so that's definitely possible.

If you feel you need someone to tell you what to do, that can of course have many reasons, but I would recommend getting some hardcore gameplans. If the gameplans are good and you're good enough to keep up with them, you will generally not need anyone elses input because your gameplan dictates what to do.

You didn't let us know your race, so it's hard to give examples, but for example, here's a general gameplan for ZvP:
Go for a decently economic opening which the protoss can't punish (14 pool 16 hatch for example).
Scout on 13 and check it's it's a FFE. Let's assume it is, since it's so common.
Take your third hatch between 4min and 5min mark.
Get gas and evo chamber around 6 minute mark.
Drone constantly, at 7 minute mark, scout the natural with an overlord to see how many gases the toss has there.
At the same time, sac an overlord into the main of the toss to see what they have there.
If they have 2 gases at natural and you don't see a lot of gateways in their base, keep droning and build 1-2 spores at each base after a minute or so to prepare for stargates or DTs.
At the same time (7 min mark), start building a roach warren.
When roach warren finishes, put all your larva into roaches and and spare minerals into drones, get macro hatch or forth when you have too many minerals.
If you see toss take a third, a-move with all your roaches while rallying more and try to kill the third and trade with his army, a toss loses way more than a zerg when the bulk of their army is lost.
While doing this, get forth, get spire, start to transition to mutas since toss will probably to transition to colossus. Deny third continuously until they die, if they get it down, transition to broodlords.

Basically, with this gameplan, you always know what you need to do. Sure, you need to react to what you scout and you still need some decision making, but the general flow will be effective and known to you so you can focus on the smaller decisions.

If this is an issue where your thoughs arent peicing up well enough, then maybe you have to confront the game in a different sense. If you learn a build order to the tee and just have to execute a series of predetermined actions, it might be much more manageable mentally.

Why don't you enjoy your time in bronze league? Do you think you will have more fun playing against harder opponents? I know that higher level players tend to scoff at bronzies, but there really is no shame in playing SC2 at a low level.

Get someone to record a build for you and just play that on the mp3?

Or stream the game to a friend and skype it....either way you can do it!

I suggest that you upload some replays or post some of your games on youtube and link here at TL.net. Then ask for some constructive feedback. This way, the TL community can have a chance to watch your games and give you some critiques. I for one wouldn't mind watching a couple of your games and giving you some feedback.
