I'm using 'control #' (as in hitting the number and the control key simultaneously) my PC is home right now, and I'm playing on an old macbook (2003) how does one set control groups on a mac? I''m on a newer Macbook (intel-based) so I'm not sure if your keyboard layout is different, but if it isn't you set control groups with the control key, not the command key | ||

Once you find the race that best fits you, look up vods and replays of the best players of that race (I'd say FlaSh and Iris for Terran because although  Flash is by far the best, Iris has a very cool play style of aggro Terran that's a lot of fun to play,  Jaedong for Zerg, and probably  Stork or Kal for protoss.) Once you've looked up some BO's on Liquipedia or copied them from pro replays, practice them a lot in empty games until you can execute at least one BO versus each race perfectly >90% of the time.Then get back on US West and keep playing until you can get about a 70% winrate. I'd say this because that's about the level you need to not get blown out every game on iCCup, and it's also an environment much more conducive to being a nooby since you'll always find games against players who you are able to beat, as well as players who will absolutely destroy you. then hit iCCup and just keep laddering. Keep in mind you will lose a lot at first, just make sure everytime you lose you learn something from that game, and if you get discouraged, you can always hit the custom games or just take a break. Also, never underestimate the power of taking a extended break during a losing streak. | ||

WARNING : Some people get mad teaming with lesser players. One thing, try play at least 10 practice games a day if you have the time, you will improve pretty quickly. EDIT: Yeah, would love to read your blog! | ||
