people with good understanding of starcraft are always good players.
even if you have 80 apm you can be a somewhat good player as long as you've got a good understanding of the game.

If you strongly suspect a drop, siege a tank, build two turrets and set some mines. If you aren't sure (as in opponent is contained but may try and break out with shuttle/ob/goon), try and surround opponents base with mines, so that you can quickly react to a drop by redirecting any tanks or vults en route to your containment force. Its somewhat of a guessing game but its in Terran's favor: You decide to send 2nd tank to contain: A: Toss tries and breaks out: Toss loses miserably B: Toss drops, in which case you still may have time to send back second tank, build turret, or get third tank if you saw drop. If you didn't spot drop at all you probably lose. You decide to keep 2nd tank back: A: Toss tries and breaks out: May or may not succeed. One tank with siege mode, bunker, 2 scv, and 3 mines may stop 6-7 goons. B: Toss drops, in which case your turret, tank, and mines will most likely slaughter the drop. Try to put tank in an odd place so toss is less likely to notice it and drop his reaver or dts on it. If your opponent isn't contained, its because he invested all his money into goons to stall your push and won't be dropping any time soon. | ||

The fact of the matter is, I'm not a good player. I know what to do, how to do it, but I can never actually do it myself; I get flustered and stop thinking in game. That you automatically concede defeat to a reaver/dt drop because you gundamed, shows that you really lack imagination/creativity. I really doubt that's true. A lot of mediocre players (i use mediocre loosely because objectively i consider myself mediocre which would make you guys fucking ratass horrible) assume what holds them back at BW is their mouse speed/level of practice. That's not it. I don't play anymore but I can still come back and win a large percentage of my games against everybody "the rung below" even though a lot of speed/micro/feeling is gone. I just know what to do. That's why you see a lot of really good players play other races with ease. Once you understand what makes each matchup function and work and why you're winning your games learning other matchups is very easy. Yes, everybody thinks they are just as talented as everybody else and understand exactly how the game works. Then you get better and you realize how little you actually knew... (and how much you still have to learn) | ||

The three people I have played and lost to on this forum (in this discussion at least), are HovZ (which was a game I could have won, but didn't play that well), Travis (which was back in... January, I believe), and ilnp (also in January). There are several people involved in this discussion whom I have beaten. I won't name names. Needless to say, many of you aren't even close to qualified to comment on how good or bad I am. So kindly shut up. | ||
