Welcome to the best and most balanced (and unforgiving) game in the world. Except for life. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://assets.diylol.com/hfs/4f6/21b/df9/resized/unimpressed-flash-meme-generator-masters-sc2-d-on-iccup-edc39a.jpg) So true. I went from middling diamond protoss sc2 to D- terran who can barely win a game haha. still enjoyed it though | ||

I'm amazed at this community. Unlike the SC2 community everyone here is so encouraging and supportive. Damn it I wish I discovered this game in 1998 instead of in 2010 via World of Warcraft telling me about Starcraft 2. So I would have only been 5 years old but think of where I could be. Maybe B+ by now xD (sarcasm, or then again perhaps not?) Gonna check out some games on the nevake youtube channel. Flash, iloveoov etc. Hopefully I will learn a thing or two. | ||

Watching SC doesn't make you good, but it does make you more interested in the game. I've seen tons of games but I'm still arguably the worst person on TL.net. Never give up, and I agree that the BW community's more open than the SC2 one for me. | ||

I watched a few fpvods of pros back when muta harass gave me a lot of trouble (it still does now that I think of it) and you can see they clump the marines together, move forward as the muta stack does, then target fire one of the mutas. When it's done correctly you can pick off a muta everytime (easier if you went for a fast +1 attack upgrade on your marines) and then it becomes quite a bad trade for the zerg. On the other hand if you simply target a muta and let your marines chase it or worse if you attack move, then your marines will get picked off 1,2 or 3 at a time without doing much damage. Finally someone got it! :D Yeah basically you wanna be target firing and killing mutas one at a time, the best way to do it is to do the opposite of what the muta clump does. Consistently thinning the muta numbers is the most efficient way. Muta moves away, you move away. Muta close in, you [stim] close in [and target fire a muta]. If you do it right you will kill a muta every time. This either will make him too afraid to engage, and you can pressure him much more easily, or he will just keep losing mutas until there is none left. Poster before was half-right, sometimes you can bait them in too deep and you can pick off 2 or 3 at once. | ||

By playing players much better than you, sure you won't win for a long time but when you then go to play players at your rank you'll find they are suddenly much easier to deal with. At least that's somewhat true I think. | ||

Actually considering switching to Protoss. Terran is just really hard and as I'm trying to use this as an escape from SC2 I'd rather not lose 99% of the time due to having really crappy mechanics. We'll see how things go. | ||

Protoss is arguably the most random of the races. Scarabs that don't explode, goons with AI IQ of about -40... yeah. Yeah, but the mice at my school suck. I want my old wireless logitech mini-- I played BW for 4 years with it! They don't even give us MS Office for free, and tuition here is obscene (thank goodness for scholarships) | ||

I have a sudden newfound respect for professional players of this game but this game is really hard. I guess I'm going to be bucking the trend here but I just find myself discouraged and unwilling to play. I'll think about it over night. | ||

Lategame is super fun between friends (who are noobs) cause you're all just all over the place. :D | ||
