As of a few minutes ago, my iCCup record is 15-40. Even though I am losing a lot, it feels great because I am improving a little bit. For example, instead of taking my 10 seconds to get Build Pylon, it took me 2-5 at max :D. There was one game where i was multi tasking (omgzz..) for a full minute or so. Some of the pros might laughing, "lol wat a newb... a full minute XD," But for me it was a very cool, thrilling 1 minute. Also, atleast its not like my first season where I lost 99.99% of my games, now its 75% :D. I actually had the pleasure of raping some people.

I tried some expirements. The first one was how it was like to be zerg (how it felt emotionally). Even though it was a zvt, I got wat i wanted. When I played PvZ hydras, and lings seeemed very buff, but now they really dont, because I can abuse the fear of losing weaker units that most zerg players have, and I believe a lot of pros use this as part of their mind games.

I was starting to question the use of hotkeys until the game i just played. I was wondering "can't I just click this, instead of waisting time hitting the wrong keys, and then losing?" Well it turns out: the time it took for me to click sometimes is three the amount of time it takes me to miss some letters. Even thought I won (I 2 gate dted, with very late dts, and still won), my left hand kept flying to keys, even if they were wrong. Now, I truely know why hotkeys rule.

Some things I can still work on:

1) Macro - this is something i really need to work on, along with multi tasking. even when i rape, i end the game with 2k mins/gas....

2)Concentrating on being efficient. Sometimes, i get things early, sometimes i attack 3 minutes late. Sometimes i dont do anything for a full 10 s while i am slightly dancing some goons around, and then build up 1k mins.

A notable mention goes to Resonance for this statement:

Jesus lord. Why don't you just stop blogging and start actually playing often? I have a feeling you are the type of person that loves sc and the scene and everything about it except you rarely actually play the game. If you really enjoyed sc you would play it without telling all of TL about every game you played and every emotion you feel.

I am sorry if this sounds a bit mean/harsh, but seriously, how many blogs is this about your sc issues...


I started agreeing with you, and it made me feel like playing again . So ty for being harsh. I realized I was playing to win, even though I did not have a solid understanding of anything. So now, I dont play to win, I play to learn.

Now to end of with a question: Is it better to put templars in a control group by them selves, or with zeals/goons?

Now that summer school is almost done, I will prolly be able to get 60 more games (AT LEAST) by the end of the summer.

And now to watch CJ Kick Samsung's ars.

I like to put my zealots and dragoons in my 1-4 hotkeys; then put my templars/dark archons/arbiters in my 5th hot key so that I can cast spells and move my units around efficiently.

You can do either. I personally prefer with my units, this makes them less vulnerable to be picked off and they stay with the main army better but you have to quickly select them to cast spells.

Well I'm just going to say that you're going to lose A TON of games in the future, just like anybody else, so don't get discouraged and remember what you said in your post, you're playing to learn!

And try to pick a race so you can focus all your time into it!

I always put them with the rest of my units because there is never an occasion for you to cast storm with all your templar and it saves space in terms of control keys.
Peace~

I keep them with my units and grab them on-screen when I want to cast a storm - any other way is confusing and can lead to your whole group of templars being out of place sometimes, or all on one front of a battle. Grouping them with other units spreads them out semi-evenly with your other units.
