Also, if you have even the smallest possiblity of winning, play it out. I've also quit some games that were very winnable, after watching the rep, the 10 tanks i thought he had were really 2 cliffed ones. | ||

for an important match for a clanwar or grudge match against some trash-talking punkass - play a few warmup games with your friends if you have time! it's like stretching before you play sports and gets your apm up and eyes focused and mind clear. use this time to fix the wire placement of your mouse, the placement of your keyboard, the audio/video/mousespeed/scrollspeed, etc. you might also want to really stretch out a bit or chew some gum before too! it helps to use the build orders you plan on using to smooth it out in your head, because if you're shaking and nervous during the real thing you really might just mess up, costing your team a win or you your pride =) even minutes before their real matches, this is what pros are doing vs a computer on hunters if you ever catch a glimpse of their monitors =P | ||

I say this, not because you will win more games, but because you will be forced to have a plan prepared and then adapt quickly to your enemies. | ||

It is better to do something stupid, than to spend 5 or 10 seconds figuring out your next move. I say this, not because you will win more games, but because you will be forced to have a plan prepared and then adapt quickly to your enemies. I don't agree with that. Stupid moves can easily cost you the game. Its better to play slow and play smart then work on the mechanics and get faster rather than hastily doing not-so-good decisions. | ||

(I'm a protoss) depending on your skill level the first obvious place would be playing team games on hunters, a map and match format that relies extremely heavily on learning/applying micro and macro (assuming you're playing against decent people). once you have those down shift to 2vs2s or 1vs1s with your newfound background and focus on basic strategy and earnestly try to get your skill level in that race up. you will find that the more you know about a race, the better you can play against it and so it's in your best interest to be able to play your two off races at least proficiently. i'm always puzzled by people who have played one race since they picked up the game and have no idea what they're doing when using the other races - of course they won't be able to see and learn as much if they always only play from one side of the matchup they're trying to learn! | ||

It is not true that nice guys finish last. Nice guys are winners before the game ever starts. Walker, Addison When you're a winner you're always happy, but if you're happy as a loser you'll always be a loser. Fidrych, Mark I'm a winner each and every time I go into the ring. Foreman, George Winners have simply formed the habit of doing things losers don't like to do. Gray, Albert If you can accept losing you can't win. If you can walk you can run. No one is ever hurt. Hurt is in your mind. Lombardi, Vince Winners never quit, and quitters never win. Lombardi, Vince Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. Lombardi, Vince Win or lose, playing at all is winning. Nording, Wolfgang Winning is only half of it. Having fun is the other half. Phillips, Bum For me, winning isn't something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream. Smith, Emmitt Winning isn't everything, but losing is nothing. Symons, Red Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own positive expectations in advance of the event. Tracy, Brian Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that's more productive. Trump, Donald The only way to be number one is to be number one. Unknown, Source A winner loses more often than losers. Unknown, Source The winner persistently programs his pluses; the loser mournfully magnifies his minuses. Ward, William Although I wanted my players to work to win, I tried to convince them they had always won when they had done their best. Wooden, John Ever notice that people never say It's only a game when they're winning? Ball, Ivern | A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals. Bird, Larry | It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference. Bryant, Bear | ||

Does this imply a) The poster has not read the thread title, but should have done so and put in "noobs" to his post to make it relevant. or b) The poster has not read the thread title, but felt like putting "noobs" in anyway or c) The poster has read the thread title, which is why he put "noobs" in his post in the first place. | ||
