Your blogs do not reflect any attempt at "learning on how to fix your issues". Just more complaining about how the UI/game speed/people not letting you play random/dragoons/SCVs/FS is bad map/random space pixie dust is preventing you from reaching Olympic tier on ICCup.

Your failure to even attempt to spell check/edit your blog is evident of that.

No where in your post do you even say how you attempted to solve said problems. Instead you just say the problems are there, and it's all the game's fault. Well guess what, the exact same problems are present to everyone else who plays the game. You don't see them complaining (especially not blogging about it), or if they do, they brush it off and deal with it.

Here's an example of exactly what I mean:

Problem: SCV I "a-moved" won't follow the scouting probe and kill it.
Causes: Maybe because I pressed "a-move", and it only moved and attacked anything in the direction I clicked. Once the probe is no longer in that direction, of course it won't attack it, and head to the location. It's no longer in the way of my SCV's waypoint.
Solution: Why don't you "a-click" the probe. That way, the SCV will do whatever it takes to murder that probe, and chase it to the ends of the Earth.
Your likely Response: "But Nagisama, probes are too small to click and will take me 10 minutes to even tell my SCV to right click and attack it."
My Response: Well there's something you can work on then, improve your mouse accuracy... among other things.

Solutions on how to fix the "workers not building" problem has also been posted already, so I won't repeat that.

By the way, the game we play is called Brood War, not briid war.

at this point "~ don't give even pay attention to my army to instead spend viable apm macroing so I can build one skill up at a time"

you really have to do both. especially in tvz if you don't pay attention you will walk your entire army into lurkers, plague, get swarmed and not respond, etc. learning how and when to prioritize your macro vs micro is one of the most important skills you will need to learn.

i think in order to increase your macro skill you should do isolate it from your micro by practicing macro vs computer while amoving your army around the map, but in a real game you should do your best to do both, and don't be afraid to micro away your army when you really, really need to. the trick is deciding when you need to and when you don't. 1a2a3a4a to zerg third gas? you can probably afford to not look at your army. you're trying to hit his nat predefiler timing? you probably want to queue up bio and micro your push.

that's why you have to do macro while 1a2a3a across the map in a low stress environment first

that kills the computer... if you have 2 dozen marines and push by like 8 minutes or w/e they are just dead.

I've really only enjoyed one game from that one-hundred a ZvT on Wind and Cloud that I won. The reason? I "survived" the early game and I was able to to actually control an army around the map. It happened only happened once out of 100 games!

In that screenshot, you have a forge in a PvT before you've even transferred workers to your natural. Without watching any of your other games or any of your casts, I already know that you have no understanding of that matchup. Or did BW's hard UI make you build a building at a completely nonsensical time?
