Almost all of the games I've won are 4pools, and trying to play standard always ends horribly. I don't feel like I'm making any progress at getting anywhere in SC. http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/gamingprofile/dr_left.html For reference, I was in the top 500 in Kane's Wrath and played TF2 competitively, so its not like I've never seen a computer before. Granted, I've played SC for probably two months now, but I feel like I'm not making any progress. Any advice?  | ||

Your stats are not that bad for 2 months actually. Gotta keep playing more I guess lol. Also, I would recommend playing Protoss(just because) or Terran(using Stylish's VODs to learn) to start out. Starting out as Zerg is probably the hardest IMHO. | ||

Obviously massing games will make you better, but I would also suggest watching many many more replays. I have a feeling many people don't improve as quickly as they could (myself included) because they don't watch enough replays. Also, by watch I mean SERIOUSLY CONCENTRATE on what exactly is going on, and what exactly the decisions and motivations for each player are at each moment. Translation: Pause often. GL HF! | ||

It does take quite a long time to get decent, particularly with Zerg or Terran. | ||

I've been playing casually for around a year and a half now (including a long period of "UMSing") and I just got to D+ last season  | ||

I often wonder if I should try toss since people say its easier, but I just like the style of the swarm, so I want to get good with that. | ||

I would say only about 6 months to stand on your own in D levels, where you are actually doing real builds/strats and such and not just "making stuff." | ||

Sometimes I focus on the timings so much I forget something embarassingly stupid, like to put down a pool after a 12hatch or to get the spire when the lair finishes. More often, I forget overlords, or forget to make scourge against a toss getting sairs. | ||

When I was trying to get good, I found that as soon as I practiced hard to nail my build orders into my head, that I went from D- to D+ pretty fast. Just keep practicing and it will become automatic. Getting your build order to come naturally every time is something that will get you better rather instantly | ||
