i recommend finding someone at your level to practice with for low money.
for fun, i recommend playing 3v3 bgh just to get the basic idea of the game (what units work, how to keep producing stuff, right unit composition, how to attack/micro)
1v1 with the friend at your level so its back and forth learning the standard maps like fighting spirit.

i dunno, i hope you enjoy learning bw. i believe it is a much better game than sc2 if you stand the old school graphics

It's pretty damn easy to mech turtle. It's hard to win by mech turtling, because your opponent will take a lot of bases and try to deny your third. To actually win through turtling, you have to either turtle into a timing attack (usually this will fail unless the opponent makes a big mistake or you perform some degree of harassment to delay the opponent so they won't be ready for your attack) or you have to split the map. Neither of these is easy on a reasonable map.
My strategy is to fork people.

I'll be playing BW periodically, so you can add me, yes-attack on iccup.

I'm D level. I can't say more about build orders than what liquipedia and stylish already have up for terran bo's.

You should go to Iccup Training Program or Op Nan, lots of friendly people who are D, and many other levels to chat with and play with. You can also find me, rednyellow, to chat, play, ums with . Goodluck with broodwar and nice to see someone who prefers broodwar.

Is there a channel where all you guys are on, like vent for example?

Cause it would be easier to find you guys

Also not played BW at all because I been busy, but I got time for some games now for anyone that wants to play

i can play some games with you if you like, i am a C/C+ zerg player

what channel are you planning on playing at- and what is your game name?

and yes TL does have a vent channel- however it is not always strictly brood war, you can find it on the bottom of the web page. If you are on iccup server go to channel 'op irc' and that is where a lot of TL players hang out

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I always love watching BW, but I am yet to sit down and really play it. I just don't find SC2 as fun. I am yet to play on Iccup, and could really use a mentor/trainer or partner to learn with.

I want to play Toss.

ID: ForAiur93.

Hope someone on here wants to play. Oh, and I can't host because I don't have my port forwarded.

Well since I just started Iccup they just put me in the basic D ladder. So I'm there.


Edit: Had to log off, will be back later.
