The lesson I learned is that this website is very helpful occassionally and EXTREMELY entertaining no doubt about that, but most of the time, I think yourbetter off on your own when trying to improve becausethis site gave me so much information at once that it gives me a tunnel vision. Just coming here now makes me paranoid because I'm afraid I will lose this clear sight of SC2. Please. take no offense, this is just what I learned.    | ||

It's not uncommon to have 5-10 game win streaks followed by 5-10 game losing streaks and have it repeat. Think about this: why would TL make you play worse? There is no reason why. You're overthinking this. | ||

True, but I would argue that too much of either thing could greatly affect one's "get the fuck outside once in a while and live" time. | ||

It's true that TL doesn't teach anything helpful though | ||

Sometimes, you just need to take a break from laddering to slow down, because it's very demanding. Also, think about this: a = 1 b = 1 c = 1 If you subtract a from b, the variable c is unaffected. The variable c remains constant, even if you "feel" as though it has changed. The interaction between a and b have nothing to do with c. In this same case a = your time b = your ladder success c = teamliquid Teamliquid remains constant, whereas your time and ladder success have fluctuated in value. | ||

Ever hear the saying about you don't know what you have till it's gone? My guess is that you were yearning to play StarCraft2 because it was "taken away", a thing you once took for granted or felt frustrated with. Your mindset was more than likely much more excited and positive since you couldn't play for a few days after normally playing daily or reading about it daily. Positive mindset = good results.. a similar thing happened to me after taking a week off of ladder. My record for the day back was 10-3 | ||

I know that for the next month I'm probably going to have no internet. And after that I might also have no internet. So I figure I'm going to get a shitload of offline practice because I won't actually have anything else to do with my computer. I might also go to the gym more. | ||

No, it probably doesn't have any correlation. It's not uncommon to have 5-10 game lose streaks followed by 5-10 game losing streaks and have it repeat. Think about this: why would TL make you play worse? There is no reason why. You're overthinking this. | ||

That's why you read only really read da blue... Overall TL veterans do a pretty good job of smacking down on shitty advice, typically along the lines of "lol this will not work most of the time because ________, rather, you should _________" | ||

Think of TL as merely a higher concentration of Starcraft information. Yes, we like to think we're better than Bnet (and we probably/ definitely are). So what? Let's say 99% of info on Bnet is shit and we're twice as good. That still means 98% of info on TL is shit. I'm pulling numbers out of my ass, but you get my point.  | ||
