Hey guys,

What do you do to warm up for playing sc/sc2 on the ladder, or when you wanna play your best?

I play Street Fighter: 3rd Strike for about 30-45 mins. XD

i sometimes, literally, 'warp up' by running my hands under a hot tap in winter.... other than that i generally just get on and start playing, if i have a tournament or something for my first game of the day ill smash a computer on easy just to get my hands going and make me feel super awesome about how amazing i am at this game.

Usually I play a custom game versus AI, just to get the fingers into a rhythm.
The opinion above should be ignored.

I just think a lot before I play. I only play 1-10 games a week though.

Edit: Actually I usually warm up by having to replay my placement matches... lol. The main reason I don't play SC2 anymore is because of the 2.0 bugs, and lack of communication between the community.
Wishing you well.

I either play my noob friend 1v1, even though he's definitely going to lose and he knows it, so I can warm my hands up via spamming and just kinda get into the swing of it.

If he's not around, however, I generally play on that Multitasking UMS map for ~30mins, have a 10min break and then ladder.

A combination of doing build orders against AI and playing random 2v2 and macroing like crazy.

I created a personalized micro map for me to practice.

Go against the computer and practice your opening build. Make sure its perfect. If you can download some micro maps and play those are great too.
Hope is the first step on the road to dissapointment

Start with sacrificing a stray cat to reduce the odds that B.net drops me.

I kid, I kid.

Honestly, I just play a 2v2 or a UMS game; anything that gets my fingers moving and some feeling for the game at the moment.
