I swear it just absolutely impossible for me to improve in SC past D rank. Occasionally I go to D+ near C-, but then I inevitably regress like mad and drop all the way down to low D-, and the cycle continues. -_-

So obscenely gay. In other news, I am in the middle of one such regression, and a friend of mine who just started playing SC a week ago raped me 3-1 while playing with touchpad.

Is there any hope at all of meaningful improvement with those damn regressions (anyone else have any of those?). This is over the course of 3.5 years btw. It's like I'll just suddenly become noob and can't micro or macro (can't do either even if ignore the other completely).

Stop clicking. Start thinking. I bet you're so fixated on maintaining high APM that you aren't able to think clearly. I used to have like 180 apm, I didn't get better til my APM dropped to 150.



actually i did stop clicking lol. I am playing at 90 below what it used to be.

Oh, and he was playing zerg -_-

You have to clear your mind and let it all go, learn and get beaten again and again, only to loose some more and only after that can you win. I'm at an all time high of C- almost got to C and this is after coming back to play after about an 8 month break. I was like you always around the D/D+ mark, but it can be broken don't newbie bash play whoever you can you learn a lot more by loosing than you do by winning. Take a break if you have to your limit of D+ can be overcome easily.

I played 3 games vs a A+ player I played a like 3 years ago he remembered me so he let me re him 3 times. By the third game I had him on the run almost won, but my macro cost me the game.

Wow...

You actually just said that. If protoss are so damn overpowered why don't we see the professional players using them all the time.

Lol i am fine with losing, I was 3rd from bottom in TSL :-P it doesn't bother me too much. It's just my mechanics simply don't improve, and I always forget important things in games (build obs, get gas, etc) even when I keep reminding myself to before game. I just somehow forget everything in game.

Make a list and stick it next to your screen, so that you can periodically check it to make sure you've got everything covered? Haha, I don't know, I'd say just keep on playing. C is actually a quite decent rank, so it's not easy to get there

make yourself a tick list where you just tick off what you did and you'll know what you should get after, I know this sounds lame, but it will help you to remember

zomg, 130+ apm on a touchpad ~~
I'm so noob I can't get as much with a mouse~~!
That reminds me of the old days when my friend used to pwn me at quake 3 with a trackball. So it happens. Maybe he's just a pro at it.

And, surprisingly, no one was playing protoss! [irony]

Obviously at that level the players have the mechanics to play whatever race they want...
