Hello,

My name is Tyler and I am currently a silver level Terran. I am trying to become a better player. So to help me with this, I've come to see if I can find anyone that would like to play with me and help me improve. Maybe watch some replays of games and see what I can work on.

Right now when I play, I do not have a builder order I follow I kind of just throw random stuff out there.

I feel that one of my biggest problems is that when I attack or go into a fight I completely forget about building more army or even my econ.

If you'd like to play with me or help me out please let me know, I'd be very greatful!

Thank you,
Tyler "Hammertime"

I'm at work, and am willing to play with you (PM me your SC2 name, and I'll hit you back with mine), but here are a few pointers:

Get 1 build order, and stick with it. I don't care how you decide on one, just find something you want to be really good at that revolves some sort of gameplan. For example. my 1 build (i'm platinum) is centered around mutalisks. I did some math, figured out how many gases for long I would need so I could build 12 mutas and start gaining map control.

From there I just kind of wing it. I'm slowly developing a better end game plan from my muta build based on what my opponent does, but it takes time and practice.

So yeah, first find a build order that gets you to where you want to be. Medivac drops, MarineMineMedivac, Marine Tank, Mech, etc.

Second, practice that build order until mid diamond to masters. Once you have mastered this build, mastering another build will become more natural for you.

Third, don't give a crap about losing. Generic, but it's true. You're going to make mistakes ("my biggest problems is that when i attack or go into a fight i completely forget about building or army or my econ"), and when you can point at them, that means you can fix them.


FYI - I am platinum, but I won't mind talking you through games, or watching you play in general. Like I said, hit me up with your name and I'll send you a message when I get on in 8+ hours, haha.
A lesson without pain is meaningless for nothing can be gained without giving something in return.

Besides what has been said it would help a ton if you watched Day9's videos in my opinion. I learnt a lot when starting up and it helped me improve and play a ton better.
