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.


People who were good years ago consider D+ pretty shitty and not good though. It would take a year or 2 to go from D to B+ I bet (if that D ever got to B+)

I'm sure that girl has a lot of extra cash from winning if she just buys 5k computers out of her pocket.

Geoff was half right. I DIDN'T get the new pc. Unfortunately the same pro gaming team told me "You're not a pc player" so they tried to steal my sponsor away. The sponsor is no longer available and I left that team to be on my own and do my own thing.

I now have Tritton (from the tv show) as a sponsor and am working on getting my own computer so I Can continue to play SC. I personally like the game and while I know it'd going to be a long time before I'm ever really any good, it's a great change of pace from my normal gaming.

Wow well done starslayer. You actually are going to keep it up, even quitting the team that tried to hold you back, that's awesome. Thanks for the update. Hope you do really well, and progress unusually fast at that. I guess you're probably too far along in your training by this point to have much use for my help. That's too bad. Good luck again. And i hope you update some more some time in the future.

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.


That's part of the challenge.
