Recently I haven't played even 1 game in the last 2 weeks, I'm getting bored of starcraft, but I still want to play it, you know? I was thinking of ways to motivate me to play sc better and get me to play more games. My icc rank was d+ before I stopped playing. Help me out!

No no no no its not mine!

My friends and I made a cash bet that forces us to play throughout the whole season pretty much.

It's basically a race to X rank, but there are restrictions on how fast you get there so that it lasts 10+ weeks.

LOL The whole time watching that video I couldn't help but stare at his head movements. And then he looked at me and I noticed how creepy his smile is. Went back to staring at the guitar after that o.o

This is actually a good motivation for playing SC.... after 2-3 games you'll never want to see that shit dota thing again, and then be on bNet 24/7.... Trust me.

Bored and still want to play ? <_<

Anyways, needs and wants are what motivates people and drives them to do something. What is your need ? You probably have a lot going in daily life and don't need a computer game to ease the passing of time or you found something else which satisfies your self-esteem and sense of achievement, which can also be gained from winning a sc match ofc.

bottom line: really wanna play ? try a different race / try different strats.
