The guy who controlled the bot had to go to mandatory military service and then everything fell apart from there. And at OP, you shouldn't try to start a clan at your level, you should try to join a clan, and then get better before trying to start your own clan (in my opinion). | ||

I'm quite new to this community and hopefully I'll figure out the proper way to act as time passes. I didn't mean to come off as arrogant or as an asshole. I knew it would take work to become better, but I suppose I just didn't realize how much work it will take. I shouldn't have for taken your guys' advice for granted since, obviously, you are all FAR more experienced that I am. Once again, I am sorry and I hope we can all just leave my attitude in the past and forget about it. Also, I would also like to thank everyone who honestly tried to help me. I posted this thread thinking there might be some semi-magical way to get better faster. Apparently there is no magical method (possibly aside from BlueIris's training exercise. Thanks SonuvBob!) and just playing and practicing the basics are the best things I can really do at this point. (Since I barely understand what happens in replays.) On a side note, can anyone give me an estimated rate of progress I can expect for practicing for X amount of time over Y period of days? Is it enough to practice for 1 hour a week, or 2 hours a week, or 1 hour a day, etc? Thanks again! Well it took me about 3 years of recreational playing (fastest maps, UMS, occasional LT here and there) and 1 year of hardcore playing (iCCup, clan wars, practice sessions with people) to reach a C- rank. I think the first season of iccup I went like 1-7 before I realized that I sucked. So I joined a clan. Ask the same question to everyone else here and they will answer somewhere along those lines. You need to find 1 person who is dedicated to playing like 10 games in a row and is somewhere close to your skill level. Trust me, you will feel the improvement. | ||

But yeah, the best way to improve is to get yourself owned in iCCup. This will be a little hard because your progress will be overshadowed by the skill of other players. Even if you'd get to the basic BO's, basic macro and scouting, you will just win half of your match but at least you will be able to steal some wins now. And we have the same problem by the way, less practice and playing time because of college, haha. | ||

Hence why he should join a noob-friendly (but not terrible) clan. 80% of the people that reply in the threads that ask for help don't even watch the replays. | ||

I played seriously for 1 month and a week I think and reached a solid D around. I could never go past 1500 though. I shouldn't have quit.  | ||

Whenever you guys get stuck you can post reps here and ask for help. If you play against your friends we can help you both at the same time. Just before you go asking for help make sure you've done a little bit of the pre-requisite research into things like build orders. If you're not performing a build order fairly close to intended then coming here to ask for help won't be very lucrative. | ||

You can come up with various exercises like this. Another is moving probes to 4 completely different areas on the map. Set each probe to a hot key. Double-press each hot key and try to keep all the probes moving consistently. Also, a lot of what I've heard around here is that the progamers spam actions during lull periods in order to keep their minds and hands sharp. Try coming up with various exercises and use BWchart to keep track of your progress. If you're savvy, make your own map that lets you practice (close off the opponent's base with terrain so the comp can't do anything). Come up with ideas for exercises like these to help you in your weak spots. | ||

I'll see if I can manage to get a replay up for you guys to see. I'm currently having issues with RepDepot. I put in the info, I click submit, and then it takes me to a white page. Can anyone help? Is it because I'm StarCraft 1.16? Here's the link for the BattleReports.com download. My "Noobs Only" game Note, it IS StarCraft 1.16.0 since I played it on Battle.net. | ||

And to get better, there's no easy way. Learn build orders and practice. Takes a while to get good. A really long while. | ||
