For the past 10 or so months I've been playing SC:BW off and on for maybe almost 300 games total.

I have two jobs and am a full time student, I like to play poker in my spare time, hang out with my friends on the weekends, but not anymore.

This dumb 60 apm protoss user (**** of clan x17) who has zero micro and is completely brain dead keeps owning me these past 2 weeks. Am I mad? Not really, but I am completely disgusted with myself. He's played 30k games over 10 years as opposed to my 300 or whatever but it's so annoying that someone so dumb keeps beating me. My mechanics are definitely beyond his at this point, but he keeps out playing me strategically since my timing obviously sucks and my build orders aren't perfected compared to his. He keeps winning the build order lottery. He only uses 1 control group for Christ sake. My friend told me he used to be C but I don't possibly see how. He lives in Ohio and is 22 years old yet he can't even speak English he just types random idiotic expressions in all caps SHUT UP I HATE YOU, LATINZA I FOUND YOU. He's so god damn dumb and bad I want to kill him.

Here's the problem, I no longer study, I no longer have any desire to hang out with friends, I keep waking up at 4PM every day and missing all my classes, I show up to work late and turn in all my work a few days late. I'm a complete degenerate now, all I care about is surpassing **** and I've put everything else on the backburner.

Hopefully I can surpass him soon, since that's all I can care about (I'm 4-17 vs him about).

I'm not asking for advice or anything, just pray for me that intelligence and innate skill can prevail before I lose everything.

No, just roqu.

He uses 1 control group and has 60 apm. I don't have an ego really even though it sounds like I do.

Sounds like he's got you beat in terms of strategy and experience. APM isn't everything. You should continue to play the way you did before as opposed to abandoning more important things in life simply to prove you're better than him.

You shouldn't believe you're so much better than him anyway, when judging by your extensive record against him, you're apparently not.

Goodluck!

I get what you're saying, but he has 60 apm and only uses 1 ctrl group. Yes he's better than me because he wins more but I'm disgusted someone like this abuses me so badly. I must surpass him otherwise I cannot accept myself has an adequate human being.

Thanks for the good luck though.

So you're wasting your life by revolving your days around your aspiration to beat a 60apm protoss user.
