I just finished watching mkp vs parting in the mlg spring arena, and no other series so accurately demonstrates all my feelings about sc2. it's just not very fun to watch, even the casters were having a hard time pretending to be excited. of course the quality of the games might be due to the players gsl schedules but i don't think the way this series went is much different than normal sc2 competition... especially ladder play. i've been sticking to monobattles-only for the last month just because i'm tired of all the cheesey non-intuitive crap you see from a majority of players. (on NA at least) i think i'm done with this game in any kind of competitive fashion. every main tournament that's happened lately i eagerly await opening day only for the games to start and I realize I had gotten my hopes up for nothing. my only current interest in sc2 is seeing how naniwa does in gsl, and hoping that tyler will start showing great play. if neither of those things turn out well i may stop wathcing sc2 forever.

If you're bored when playing then it's your fault for not playing creatively and making your own fun.

how do you know that he is in bronze? oh wait, you are just being ignorant like many other in the sc2 community.

anyway 5/5 blog, i have quitted sc2 months ago. its just not fun at all after single player and few months of multiplayer. those live games and tournaments are horrible also with the ugly commentating.

MKP vs Parting at MLG Arena was kinda boring?

Huh, that is kinda ironic. I didn't watch their MLG Arena match, but I remember their first match (before the regame) at the GSTL finals, and I found that game to be one of the most action-packed, exciting TvPs that I've ever watch (minus the disconnect scandal).

@mlg, the games consisted of a 1 base colossus, followed by 1/1/1, and then an immortal sentry timing. each game lasted maybe 10 minutes at most

I can confirm that switching races makes the game more fun, regardless of what you switch to and from. I switch races all the time; it's awesome.

Your entire post screams bronze league so I apologize if I was wrong, anyway on a more helpful note I played all 3 races at one point or another and I can confirm I find Protoss the most boring. I would like to add that if you added things like warp prisms or proxy pylon zealot harass lategame into your play you may find the game far more interesting. I would suggest switching to Terran if you are looking for variety.

i have messed around with terran lately and it was a lot of fun... but the fun quickly wore off. I think my problem might be sc2 over-saturation. i'm waiting to go into army (september) and i have absolutely nothing to do all day. i've spent the last month or so doing nothing but playing sc, watching sc, or listening to sc related podcasts. i downloaded tribes today and it was a shit ton of fun. i think i'll just stick with only watching gsl every now and then and hopefully the "hunger" will come back. also, i'm going on almost 2 months of being sober (weed) and this is a big change as for the past 2 years i've smoked pretty much every single day. perhaps my enjoyment of starcraft became too dependent on being baked as fuck and now that i'm sober it just seems way less interesting.
