StarCraft is surprisingly easy to get rusty at. Not only has my gameplay diminished in my several months of complete disinterest from a glorious bonjwaesque D- to a D------, but my game analysis and understanding has declined as well.
Maybe StarCraft is more like an ex-girlfriend to me. Something I think about calling every now and then because I'm lonely, but ultimately knowing everything will turn out sour.
Maybe StarCraft is the woman I was always meant to love but could never quite make the sacrifice for. I've been on indefinite hiatus from writing for TeamLiquid and I've always sucked at playing but I stopped playing ICCUP when I was once an avid D- champion.
Now that I've reinstalled, I start to feel that same little smirk come up on my face when I execute that perfect vulture runby. I start to feel my fists clench when I see 5 zealots come in base before my factory is even finished. Has any game, much less, any pastime inspired such joy and fury within me?
I am not what I once was in the community, if I was much at all. But, warily, I return. Because when I see Fantasy's face I can't help but feel like a korean schoolgirl. Maybe, after all, I do belong here.

Yet at the same time, there are tonnes of people who take breaks from SC and come back much better.

Hahaha, yeah I know the feeling of not having a build order down.

Indeed SC is not like riding a bike (at least for me). I haven't played for like 2 years and I played a few games with friends recently and it was shocking to see how much out of rhythm you are lol.

I've been down your path many times before, and yet we have both ended up in the same place again.
Welcome back sir.

I don't know, it used to be only watching games interested me. Then I won a few games on ICCUP, and now I'm devoted to playing and getting better. Not a good thing to happen the summer before Junior year though. Goddamn SAT

The game evolves. Try to compete in cycling with a 10yo bike and without any recent training and I'll assure you'll be dropped by the bunch right away.

As if I wouldn't immediately win the Tour de France on any bicycle after any hiatus. I laugh at your naive meandering.

WOOT HELVETICA YOU'RE BACK AHMG!!!!
yeah Terran has changed quite a bit though

What has changed about terran?
TvP is still 1-fact FE into heavy taank/vult mech right?
I've seen some TvT's and it isn't too different.
What about TvZ?

TvZs. The horror. *shudders*

Flash had this nasty TvZ adaptation of mech where he made gols and then transitioned to a tank mnm thing with goliaths, with no valks. Let him not make turrets vs muta. Some shit like that.
I'm high.

TvZ has been bastardized and is no longer the most beautiful matchup in the game.
