I play this game for way too long to still suck at it as badly as i do. I play for hours and never improve, i guess sometimes thats the way it goes. We all want to be better at this game, why is it harder for some than others? A man with a dream will torture himself if he can't accomplish it, but will regret if he never tried. Here goes nothing!

-_-..,if you don't want to play don't. And unless you are mentally retarded, 99% of people improve after each game, even if it is a minute and incremental increase in skill.

Just keep playing. You don't get better overnight. Eventually it piles up and you will realize your mistakes and it will become a habit.Trust me.

do you realize what your mistakes are when you lose?
or do you just sit there and mass game?

you have to think in starcraft, you can't just click mindlessly hoping to raise your apm(=/=skill)

For me it comes in spurts. Like, I'll see no improvement for a couple months, then over like 1 or two weeks i become noticeably better. Don't quit till its not fun anymore!!

Intrigue has compared it to plateaus on several occasions. Sometimes it takes a while before you notice the benefits you are receiving from practicing... but yeah the key is to diversify your strategies for improving. Don't do exclusively one thing... play games, watch the replays, watch other replays, review replays with your gosu friends, watch vods, read strategy threads, get a practice partner who also is interested in diversifying his attempts at getting better, etc.

no one said learning to play starcraft was easy. Keep going if you really want to learn, if you dont think you can do it, than stop trying to become the best

Starcraft is not an easy game at all; there's a reason why Koreans are freaking unbeatable at this game.

5% talent, 95% practice. They practice for hours and hours and study the flaws in their game. Unless you are willing to do such things, you'll never get better.

Take my game, for example. I started competitive Starcraft about a year ago. I played lots of pubs, and all of them were PvT. I lost every fucking game. Like literally. You could send like 10 Vultures and 10 Tanks and probably rape me easily. I watched Nal_rA and Reach replays, turned off the Terran's vision, and turned on FPPlay (from BWL before) and saw what they were clicking, what they were making, and why they did such and such. By watching these, I started to gain a feel for PvT and how the Protoss was supposed to fight, how to expand, etc.

Nowadays, I've improved greatly in PvT, as well as my other matchups. But had I just wished for a better game instead of acting and practicing, I would be as bad as I was before.

But as other people say, go to school and study. Much better than BW
