Hello readers!

So real life got in the way of my practice for a week so I didn't get any chance to continue my training for that time. I was curious to see what this did to my abilities so I jumped right into a game. I certainly am relying on mostly didactic memory because I really had to think hard about what I wanted to do to make my fingers start working. However some deeper memories were formed and once I had remembered the start of a sequence, the patterns flowed quickly. As the game progressed I felt more and more comfortable in my shoes but still somewhat far away from where I was after the more intensive training. I defeated the computer on the very hard while being able to micro against 3 bases at the same time due to control groups but the macro felt "meh" and forced.

In short, long hiatuses when training muscle memory isn't a good thing.
And while that's not really news, it a good reminder for me that daily training pays off more than burst training.

training against the very hard ai isn't the best practice. Might as well just do unranked

Standard forever, muahahhahahha!

It takes awhile to get used to the new setup. What's funny, though, is that there is a whole level of optimizations which you can make to your EXISTING setup - which if fixed, would improve your play just as much as switching to a new setup (I say this as this was my experience. GL with TheCore).
