EPTAnyways, i wanted to start a quick thread or blog jsut asking for training buddies. But i thought, hey i've got some time, might as well talk about how much i love this game.
...It all began about 5 months ago. That's when i first got the game..Before sc2 I was really into chess, i would play for hours, reading books just to learn as many openings as i can. It was hard, not going to lie, without proper guidance or teachings it takes a while to get good at chess. Ill explain why i bring this up in a minute.
I really wish i picked up sc2 back when it came out, or even BW. But oh well, better late than never. I would have never imagined i'd be playing a game like this so intensly though. I mean other than sc2 i've never played an RTS before. Except for halo wars on the xbox...it was pretty shit, but i had fun playing it. I remember thinking 'i wish i could play a game like this but better'. Then i remembered hearing about sc2 from the blizzard email. after looking it up i found out it was a research so i downloaded the demo. wow, i fell in love immediately. The first thing i thought when playing sc2 online was "modern version of chess"
Anyway, 2 months of playing about every day, (some days i'd play 1-3 games, and maybe once a week i'd play for 8 hrs straight) I went from bronze to platinum. Dont get me wrong, im no pro, i lost a shit ton of games trying to figure everything out. but eventually i got it. after getting to platinum i decided to get a summer job(to buy a motorcycle...just bought it btw ) so it was really hard to play as much as i wanted to since i had no time to play. when i got home i was too tired. i was literally playing about 10 games a week.
But now that im back in school and i have my transportation i dont need to work as much anymore so i have a lot more time for starcraft.
So...Now, 5 months later since first playing I'm at Diamond, im jumping between 20-30 as I get used to the players in here...i need a partner though...someone at GM level or Masters. Not a coach or someone to teach me. but someone to just wreck me every game so i can learn(im excellent at teaching myself)
Was wondering if anyone would like to be my buddy on sc2. I live in Miami FL and am in university studying physics if that helps anyone decide or not.
thanks guys! ggwpglhf
