Hi Starslayer girl from the WCG ultimate gamer show.

You should come to realize that SC is not a repetitive game like guitar hero. You will need to outsmart and outplay your opponent.

So after you master all the buildings and units in the game you should read about strategies and the art of war. This is basically chess x100
I know you're a very competitive person after reading about you and knowing u're in the show so I really do hope you prove us all wrong and be pro at it. We will need female progamers when SC2 comes out because it was really give esports a big boost.

GL HF and I'll be ur first fan. GOGO
DIE!!!

i think its freaking comedy her lasts posts are on the DAY she picked it up!

id be really happy to find she was working on it and getting good, but my guess is that she got to about the 3rd Terran Campaign in Vanilla and said "okay this is hard". so she made it, about .001% of the way to playing the game D+ on iCCup. after all that talk lol. probably spent more time typing about it then playing it.

im assuming she played some campaign and then hopped on to bnet and got her ass handed to her
she's not used to losing so she probably went back to CS and owned some noobs or something
Once again back is the incredible!

You know, since we're already here and I didn't get to say this the first time around, It doesn't take years to get good at starcraft. People say that because it took them years. There were gosus (for their time) when starcraft was brand new, and today there's a billion resources to learn from that there weren't back then. Even without having RTS experience from somewhere else, a dedicated player could easily get to D+ in a few months time. If you don't think so because it took you years to get good, it's because you weren't seriously training to improve for years. Most people hit a plateau (whatever rank it is) and do not progress beyond that because they play the same way they have been playing.

I know what you're saying... but so often I see people say that it would take years to get to D+ level and that's simply not true. I was talking about knowing standard build orders, having 100+ apm, you know, C range. Most people at D/D+ level have HUGE holes in their game. It might take quite a bit longer to get to B and higher ranks, but D+ is relatively easy to master if you have any natural aptitude and some dedication.

Starslayer, first off I give you huge props for trying to pick up starcraft. As far as recommendations on how to get better, it's all been said in this thread already. There are English casted vods. I recommend going to Gomtv.net and watching Vods there if you're interested. After you learn hotkeys and basic units and stuff, these vods will help you to understand strategies a bit better. As many people said though the skill curve on this game is ridiculous, here's a link to a First person vod of the best terran player atm to demonstrate the skill level of top players, I don't have to say much other than it's a really 1 sided game and it shows why flash is the best terran.



There are other vods and FPvods on nevake's channel as well if you're interested.

Make sure you play like this.

I wish you luck in getting better at the game and the most important thing is to have fun, even if you are 0-50 when you first start :p.

afaik ciji was told by her progaming team that she needs to keep her focus on her console games like rockband/guitar hero. She got a new cpu, bought the battlechest and was all geared up and ready to go before she got shot down..

It is our of her hands though. She relies on them for travel/gear/sponsorship etc.

I gathered all of this from indirect methods so if any of this is inaccurate or untrue I will get ciji to clarify. Hopefully at least for SC2 we can have Ciji amongst us I might be able to get her over here!

Why didn't they at least stop her from getting that computer? I mean Starcraft can run on just about anything with a screen...

Yes but she wanted it to run WELL. Have you tried playing starcraft on 56k and about a 7x10 inch moniter? I have. It is not fun.

her progaming team? what?

what progaming team has Rockband? no offense to starslayer but "pro rockband" is like saying "pro connect 4"

I remember pandemic and eMg had a few players but you'd hardly be pro, considering you can't possibly make a living off of your winnings. I doubt there's any spectator value either, if I wanna see a good guitar player rocking it, I'll buy myself a ticket to a show ...

tbh I don't see much potential for e-sports outside of the shooter/rts genres, everything else you're much better off with the real thing (ie: fighting games vs watching real mma/K1/Pride, sports games vs the actual sport, same for racing, music, etc etc).

On the other hand, you can't really pit people with real guns against each other (although speedball, pro paintball, is pretty close) and RTS is impossible to re-create irl. It has something unique about it that might just make it a good spectator product.

5000 USD is a bit much if she just wanted to play SC and maybe some other "new" games.. she should've bought a decent laptop and be better off.
