I'm fairly new here, so I thought I'd share some of my Starcraft experiences.

I have been playing Starcraft seriously for a while now, so when season 7 of iCCup started, I decided to give it a try, under the name of iD)Faiyth_. This was back in March Break, then.

I've been playing Protoss forever, and I was used to dominating over my school friends, who found it really tiring to play with me. But they weren't like me, since I always had the mentality that I wanted to get better, while they just wanted to play for fun. So I figured I'd switch races to Terran, so that they can have an easier time, while I learn a new race. At the same time, iCCup started. So I decided to try Terran on iCCup.

On my first day, I ended with an 0-8 record. Somehow, it didn't discourage me as much as I might have thought it would. Eventually, I climbed my way to 16-23.

Then, everything changed. TSL came along, the biggest event in Broodwar since.. forever. It inspired me to keep playing, and now I'm 10-14 under the name of 2hu. I also tried to play in the weekend tournament, and got my ass handed to me. Still..

Thanks Teamliquid, for this insanely successful event. You've rejuvenated the Starcraft community.

You've allowed me to improve tremendously, and even though I'm still losing the majority of my games, I feel like I'm getting there.

For now, my goal is to get into top 500 of TSL. Not sure if I can, though. And I must resist the urge to switch back to Protoss ><.

Haha I know the feeling all too well.

A minute ago I was debating whether or not to switch my icon back to protoss.

Thats what I like about TSL; you know there has to be more people near your skill level.

don't forget the tighter community since many people in tsl are from tl.net. the tl community is also mainly gm so playing is fun

Yeah tbh 99% of tsl people I've spoken with or played with were gm, and a good chuck of the non-tsl people I've associated with were bm.

quite true

two people i played

one was some random z whom doesnt know how to 12 hatch in case there is an scv screwing around in ur nat.
apparently he also doesnt know that only gosus can micro zerglings against stimmed firebats with medic support.
he was very bm


the other was a TSL random--> t whom proceeded to try some fancy float rax trick into my base.
unfortuantely for him i 8raxed.
he was very gm.
