No it's ZvP, you 7 hatch, 7 pool, make another drone, 4 lings and you send two at their nat and two at their main.

Your biggest problem is your mindset. You basically believe that BW is for elite and that you somehow can't be good at it if you didn't have a mindset similar to that you would have improved a lot more by that time and personally after I got used to the AI and macro (and somebody is probably going to bash me for this) which is relatively good compared to other people at my level (I dom't miss production, workers are constantly built and sent to the mineral line etc etc) and better players who have played with me before pretty much agree that its spot on and while this is only a fragment of the mechanics required to play BW well it has made it more enjoyable feeling like I'm in control of the UI side (although I die do because of my lack of knowledge and not knowing the proper timings and such) All I am basically trying to say is that you should ignore my rambling and change your approach if you want to improve. Ohh and even with my relatively bad understanding of the game I can tell you that you should rework your PvT from the ground up for one you shouldn't even have a forge before the 3rd base (you should get it while expanding to a third so that you can properly defend against vultures) | ||

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. 1+ Very well said. I couldn't have said it better myself (unless I tried really, really hard ... I hope) | ||

I have to agree with this. I passed my 100th game about a week ago and while my macro is still way off target, I'm feeling that I've improved a lot since I started. Those duds that he was talking about, I experienced them a ton when I first started. You click on a lot of rax and spam m but then when you check back, nothing, ya >< lol. As everyone else said, play the game for the fun of it and to improve. Don't count on winning a lot of games either due to just how much experience a lot of other players have already. Focus on one race, focus on mechanics then expand to the others. I do believe some responses have been harsh however reading your previous blogs and this one, I get the feeling that you aren't enjoying yourself at all(you even mention it) so maybe reconsider why you are doing this in the first place? What I mean is that you should reaffirm your reason for playing BW if you aren't enjoying it because that will help improve your game. | ||

If you do want to play competitively, I recommend getting a practice partner at a similar skill level and playing the same matchup a few times in a row. This will smooth out your opening a lot, and you won't have to deal with misranked players, unexpected builds, etc. It's also more relaxing because you're purely playing to improve, not to increase rank. Watching a lot of progames can give an illusion of understanding. For one, there are a lot of details you miss when watching. (For example, do you notice when pros stop making workers? This is pretty hard to tell from VODs!) For another, pros generally play styles that rely on years of experience to deflect aggressive builds. You will need to develop that experience for yourself. | ||
