I've been playing WOL since start. Zerg, platinum. Loved to watch MLG, GOM etc. However, lately I start to lose interest in the game, as well as watching streams or VOD's. This are starting to get repetitive and I have a feeling less people are online as well. Now my question is: Did any of you experience this sudden decrease in SC2 enthusiasm, and if so, did you quit or find a way to stay interested? Thx! | ||

That's what I do since beta, and the only ting keeping me from ladderring some time (less and less btw) is ladder anxiety. Designing "your" build (or at least your version of existing ones) and testing them is what will keeps you in the game. Works for me at least. | ||

but what i would recomend to keep your intrest, (if your just REALLY trying to get better) is to get a practice team/ parners or something like that. Get 4 5 people that are either you skill level or better then you and just practice... i wish i had some good firends to play with localy..... ever 1 i know is gold ot silver i got 1 friend who is dia but he just 6 pooled his way to it and is garbo... so he does not count ^_^ | ||

I've been watching a lot of Brood War, and that's motivated me to play more SC2. | ||

none of my other friends would even consider it since theyd much rather play CoD or Madden. so i think having friends to play with is a huge factor. however, finding sc2 players to be friends with can be very hard | ||

had a lot of friends playing it. i play with some of them time to time though. I got into diamond and wanted to get to masters but decided not to. I moved on to League of Legends and i enjoy it more lol . There is no specific reason for me quiting. Battle.net sucked, i couldnt turn to map making, etc.etc. | ||

Bnet 2.0 doesn't really seem to allow this. It's great if you just want to log in and play some games, but it doesn't feel like a whole experience. My experience is that friends are made in chatrooms, and not so much in 1v1 games. So basically you meet noone new, which leads to things becoming dull. Or that's how it went for me anyway. Nowadays I have no motivation to play ladder anymore, just the occasional UMS with friends who have quit ladder as well. I still watch the big tournaments though. | ||

There was a time where I used to watch every single game on GSL live, even up and downs, and first rounds of code A. After a while this kinda got boring (about a month or two ago for me), so now I only watch games of favourite players live or watch VODs of highly recommended games (based on LR thread voting). I think the reason it can become boring is that after becoming familiar with what standard play looks like, you know what to expect, and when you see exactly what you expect, you get bored. To answer your question, I don't have a magic formula to offer to make you suddenly more interested. But I must say that after taking a break from watching, when I tune into a 'standard' game, I find a few interesting changes to people's builds that can have a large impact to the game. Don't mass consume, but pick and choose what to watch. Edit: game-play wise, try something different! play random, or choose to play another race for a while. Or keep playing your race, but do ridiculous non-standard play/cheese. Terran cheese in particular is fun imo. | ||

Right now it doesn't promote any longevity into the game at all. | ||

Anyways, I always used to watch GSL and other events looking for Zerg games, and having seen hundreds it just got old... Now I'm watching from the Terran perspective and I'm excited again. | ||
