I have not played BW for a long time, not routinely I should say. This week is my Spring Break, I began BW again last Thursday night, overall, my understanding is still "there" but I managed to play as if playing DOTA(WTF?) for whoever that has played DOTA. I basically sat, macroed some, microed some. But when I was macroing, I realized I had almost 1k minerals to do so. Moreso, when I am microing, I seem to scroll off the screen with the mouse. Misclicking terribly, and my decision making is poor as fuck now. When I should be attacking, I don't and hesitate. When I attack, I then notice I have 1tank, 2vultures and 4marines versus 8 dragoons.

Should I just give up? I don't exactly have time to mass games anymore and almost all of my friend's levels > me. Depressing. T____T

just throw away your pride and mass pump your barracks

only give up when its boring

if its frustrating, that means it still matters to you and so you should keep playing.

when you start losing and not caring about it, thats when you should quit.

I havent cared much about losing in a while, haha. Doesn't mean you should quit, just don't onto ICCUP expecting much. Stick to pubs and HF!

You don't need to massgame to get into from if you understand the game.

A dozen games should be enough to sharpen your mechanics. Just focus on improving mechanics for now, rather than winning, and you should be back to form pretty quickly.

Yes take this as an opportunity to actually play how you know you should play. Kill your old bad habbits and start fresh.
