Does anybody feel like helping me train? I am sucking balls on iCCup right now and I have lost 14 of my last 15 games
And by helping I mean like playing a game, beating me, then giving me tips. or possibly playing a bunch of games with me and giving me tips or watching a replay of me getting destroyed and giving me tips.

Do you think it's better to just play one race multiple times so you learn one match up at a time? or to just play three match-ups equally in one day (in my case PvP PvZ and PvT)?

PM me, comment on this blog, and/or hit me up on iCCup ID - Xaser.

[Preferably someone of D+ or higher]

It is probably better for learning to focus on one at a time, but less fun .

We can play some practice matches if you want - h3r1n6 on iccup, D+ Terran

Play against the same race repeatedly. I don't do it now, but when I started out it was nothing but PvZ, PvZ, PvZ. It really helped me get my timings and builds down and it makes it so things are a bit more automatic and less of a battle.

I definitely encourage you to play the other race(s)... but (at least for starters) rather against someone more friendly than iccupers

Switching macro style(?) may be somehow difficult if you would like to go with this bit further but will show other races point of view for sure man, even after just few games if not 1.
