Concentrating on one matchup first, even better.

IMO, P by nature is the most forgiving race for noobs to start out with, good choice.

PvZ also happens to be THE most epic mu in the game

I'm not biased I swear...

REHABILITATED* (sorry it was like 3 AM ;p)

First of all I'd like to apologize in advanced if I am posting this in the wrong spot.

Hello I am completely new to sc...... weird enough too as I have played wc3 for 4 years and some wc2 before then.

But anyway I want to start by saying that I am soooo amazed by 2 things in sc.

1. The depth of the game it self, even with the tiny bit of knowledge I have gotten from this game i can say that this game is easily 10x more complex and deep than wc3.

2. The community support. It is huge, 1000x bigger than wc3's. This website is amazing there is so many resources and knowledge its incredible. And looks like i picked up the game at a perfect time too, got to watch my first sc vods and they were the TSL. So nice.

I am not even going to begin with the "Im new what do I dew" question because there is just so many resources available on this site. Its just great!

Anyway my goal is to get decently good at this game. So if you have any suggestions I would love all the help i can get. I have been reading liquipedia and watching vods and some replays already.

This is my plan of action and I'd love some feedback on what you think. if its a good idea or not.
I really don't want to pick a permanent race at the moment as i want to have a broader view of the game. But this is the way i see it.

There is a total of 6 match ups in this game (mirrors included), but 9 match ups to learn (i.e TvsP, PvsT). From what I have seen there is almost endless amounts of strats to do per match up. I mean if you just look at build orders on liquipedia there is like 8 builds per match up. So that already seems very overwhelming(in wc3 there is like 1 build per match up, and if you are orc 1 build period haha).
So my plan is basically to take it a step at a time and sort of learn 2 basic strats per match but learn 1 and 1/2 at a time. Let me explain the 1/2.
For example I want to start with learning ZvsT build 2/3 Hatch muta (getting some of the lingo down ! ) . So spend time learning the strat perfecting etc... that is taking care of 1, but also i feel like i'll be half learning some TvsZ. Then I would move on to learning PvsZ a build there etc... Sort of knocking it down 1 match up at a time. At the same time working on the mechanics.
(This is the technique i used to learn to play the piano. Took it one song at a time till i perfected a song moved on to a different chord etc feel like it was a faster way to learn the instrument than what i did to learn the violin which was a much broader learn a lil of everything at once approach..)

After that i suppose the next step would be to chose a race and further improve on what I have already learned.

Let me know what you guys think.

I do have one question, How ambitious is it to say that I hope to be Rank D+/C- iccup Within 6 months. Is it crazy? or achievable? What about C? I know it would probably be easier if i stick to one race but I am weird like that and I refuse to do it! .

Anyway sorry for the long long post, any suggestions advice anything is appreciated. Thanks in advanced!!

i hate in toss mirror (at this level at least) how the guy that sits and hides at his base is usually the winner. i hate that type of playstyle. just sit there and turtle

Its just easier to defend a ramp and micro/macro right next to your base than to push out.

><

Still suffering from terrible macro.

Man, I keep jumping between D- and D.

So rough

My friend got C- in like 3 months.

My goal was 6... i wonder how he did it.

Even more, i wonder how Zenio got A- in a year :O


I wonder what Day9 would say?

1. The depth of the game it self, even with the tiny bit of knowledge I have gotten from this game i can say that this game is easily 10x more complex and deep than wc3.

I hope I'm not just an idiot but who's Zenio? Also often people just make new accounts or smurfs so if you're looking at their profile on iCCup it may not be correct.
