incremental improvement

an excellent point that a new player cannot afford to forget. you will never master the game if you try to improve everything at once.

start with simple things, like macro'ing during a battle, or practicing your build. once you've got that down, try to work on your micro and your strategies. once you've got those down, start combining things, by macro'ing counter-units to what your opponent has built, and maybe micro'ing a few goons to take out the opponent's dropship.

u play mass games (obvious)

save ALL loss replays and see why u lost the game

ask urself whether u were out macroed, microed, etc. If it was a faulty build order, you can try to watch replays of good players, or make ur own adaptation (i prefer the latter since u learn how to adapt on ur own without relying on other people's style, you learn the game better too)

Well, probably alot of ppl will react against this, but depending on your main race, try to become faster by using alot of hotkeys, spamming if you will. Always try to check your fac/gateways etc, flip trough them. Try to do something all the time and never rest. Be confident. I noticed my game got better when I first worked on my speed (is now around 150-220 APM) and then went to strategies etc. So I think its important to get speed first if you wanna try to be good.
no thx.

Im trying to improve now too since im such a noob, losing 2 out of 3 of my games on WGT on c6/c5 where 80% of them are high rank resetters, which is good. And I've been watching my own lost replays, especially in TvZ games which I could win but fcked up micro screwed me lol, and TvP I die almost instantly to Dt's no matter how hard i think and try to counter them. I just suck plainly in TvT.

By the way I think this thread is very well made and helpful, to players wanting to improve (like me). Informative

y?

if you can't macro well at all, you won't be able to even do the build correctly.

if you can't even do the build at all, you won't be able to start to understand the strategy of the build

if you don't understand the strategy, you won't know what to and how to micro

The Wiz has spoken =P

nope strategy is the most important.
WOW cant believe LT gave me BETA KEY thx thx thx thx thx

Is there a way you came to this conclusion gavel? Or did you just feel like making a useless argument with no evidence to back it up? :/
