For the sc2 beta key, ive been playing just a ton of games the last two days. I spent about 5 hours yesterday and 3 today, and i just feel drained. im still not in the top 100 yet either.

I don't know how you guys can do it playing 1v1. 2v2 i've done something similar in the past for the season 1 and 2 ladders, but when you are playing with a friend its so much easier.

/sigh

i guess nothing you want comes easy right?

I don't know committed or good you are but I would give up, even if you're better than anyone in the top 10 right now on east or west. This is supposed to be the easy part, when the invite ladder starts you are probably going to have to play at least 400-500 games like 20 days or whatever which is a pretty disgusting amount, and even then you will be cutting it really close to getting in because a good chunk of the top us players are going to be coming back to play and you won't get to face any of the weaker 50% players for consistent wins.

And that's assuming you are playing in the US, if you're doing it on Europe or Asia I don't see much of a chance for any amateur player.

Good luck though if you decide to continue.

(I'm not trying to discourage you from continuing btw, just being realistic)

Hm. I've got a theory on the "1a2a3a P imba" crowd. They're all just Z's who are pissed that ZVP is imba, and everybody knows it, and they still lose. Plus some weak minded T's who just follow the crowd.

Not really, in WC3 everything is mostly micro (So no 1a2a3a jokes) , there is barely any macro at all.
