The best way to get better at BW is through muscle memory so your mind doesnt have to think about certain things throughout the game allowing you to think more tactfully. That of course comes with mass gaming, sadly this game cannot be mastered through merely theory and some nifty tricks, its a game of making no mistakes and capitalizing on your opponents mistakes. If you can manage to get decent at bw before SC2 comes out, you'll be way ahead of the pack as far as skill goes, so if you have the time keep on doin what you're doin and you shall find success down the road.

djcube United States985 Posts June 15 2010 12:37 GMT #66 @Fuel Not trying to discourage you, but if you're looking for fun by picking up bw for the first time, playing on iccup or playing any "competitive" 1v1 games probably aren't the best ideas. Even if you've played casually before like 3v3 bgh on bnet or something and know all of the hotkeys, it's still really frustrating to try to get into the competitive 1v1s. But starting off from scratch with no knowledge of the hotkeys or basic mechanics and jumping straight into iccup is a guaranteed failure. I think Day9 said it best when he mentioned that completely new players are better off playing 3v3 games with a couple friends and just get used to moving units around and learning the hotkeys.

Silentness United States2821 Posts June 15 2010 13:27 GMT #67 Iccup STILL isn't a newb friendly area. Just because SC2 beta is here doesn't mean EVERYONE left. The competition on Iccup in the D - D+ range is still tough. Getting to D+ and maintaining it is still nothing you can breeze through. Just play a lot of games and build up your APM, Macro, game sense. Brood War is so taxing on the brain... I love it
