I started playing melee games on Bnet about a week ago. So far, it's been rather disastrous. I'm 0-7 on US West and 11-17 (I think) on US East. Most of the wins are from 2v2s and complete complete noobs. I have yet to win a game against a half-decent player. Some of my more painfully memorable losses:

TvZ - I go 1 rax cc and my opponents goes 9 pool. I scout late and don't see it coming in time. gg
TvP - I had some decent micro at the beginning and manage to kill a few goons. But then the reaver comes and rapes me.
ZvP - Mid-game toss push flattens me.
TvP - Toss attacks my third base with a few lots, I stupidly send my entire army there to defend. His main force comes knocking on my nat... gg
PvZ - I don't get storm early enough and get raped by mass hydras.
TvZ - I try 1 rax expand. I fend off the first ling wave, losing a few SCVs but somehow, my refinery doesn't build =(. Second wave comes... gg
ZvT - Bunker rush!!!
TvP - Early zealot rush. I carelessly lose my first 2 marines and the zealots eat my SCVs.

All that aside, I think I'm getting better. My effective APM is about 80 right now. I can at least spread my workers about half the time now and I no longer run around the minimap looking for things to do. My macro is getting better and my production facilities don't idle 70% of the time anymore. I suppose my biggest problems are lack of scouting and failure to react properly. I'll keep playing for a while and see where I guess. Hopefully I'm just not "destined to suck".

Most of these things are stuff you learn by playing. I suggest you pick your favourite race and stick with it for a while until you get good enough to switch to different races (once you pick up the concepts of the game and you have good multitasking). A lot of this has to do with build-order specific timing.

I recently started playing sc semi-seriously myself. Keep playing and good luck! If you decide to play as Terran, I can give you some advice. My Z and P are horrible though

New rule. You aren't allowed to bitch about sucking until you've played for at least a year. If you still suck then, you've earned your right.

But the ones who just started are the ones who suck the most. How is that logical?

The ones who've been playing for a year or more have had enough time to stop sucking so much. What's their excuse for bitching?

Sucking after a year lol

Anyways, it was a blog post. Other than that fact that it pushed my blog out of view, I don't see the problem with posting about your memorable losses and your thoughts on it.
