I used this very simple method for learning camera hotkey and clicking on the minimap instead of scrolling.
I simply disabled scrolling! I would be FORCED to use camera and clicking on minimap.
I practiced 1 BO per MU 10 times vs AI using this method.
Then i took it to ladder 30-40 games.
After that i enabled scrolling back on.. One heck of a difference after, i can tell you that.

That's actually a really good idea. You'll remember pretty quick when your only options to moved around are location keys or mini map.

Is there a point to trying to get better at starcraft if youre a 700 player on iccup? I really do try, and no matter what i do i lose. I know its all "oh oh well its about learning and thats the fun part" but every fucking faggot I play is leagues higher than me, plays protoss (I play T) and is just like "its ok just try" "go try" and its quite demoralizing knowing that "go try" will never ever work, and this person just wants some points off of a noob.
TL;DR is it worth trying to get better at this game if you dont find enjoyment in losing over
and over
and over

find someone to train with, taht can explain what you did wrong in a constructive way
It's a social game, half of the fun is the people you play with ^^

oGoZenob's suggestion is definitely a good one.
You may also have to try and view the game not so much as win/lose, but for what it is. Strategical planning, army movement and positioning, building things, economy, gathering information, reacting to what you see, etc.
Personally, I used to get quite frustrated with losing, like hurting my hand by punching my desk frustrated when losing lol. I started to just accept the fact that I'm going to lose, a lot. I'm never going to be that good of a player (I'm thinking masters and above). I'm probably never even going to get out of gold lol. Though I could see myself getting to plat and maybe even diamond eventually if I just had more time to play. As it is though, I just accept the fact that I'm going to lose, try to learn from losses, and enjoy playing the game for what it is.

I think he just wants people to tell him the game is good. In my opinion, the game is good.

How can I cheese protoss in zvp?
|
Yesterday I've been watching WCS (Happy vs Kane) and what I'm confused about is what zerg can really do against late game terran's air army (viking, ravens, battlecruisers with Yamato cannons)?
I mean when terran is maxed out you can't really beat his army in open engagement, corruptors are getting shredded really fast. All you can do is abducting unit after unit to the field with spore crawlers and kill them with corruptors. Also infestors can't really do so much. Terran will rebuild his army and there is no transition you can do.
I feel like it's imbalanced.

Hey

Secret Spring and Inferno Pools, beyond that I personally vetoed Catallena but not every Protoss hates it as much as I do.

Thanks. I'll play a few games on it and see what I feel.

If a terran is unsure about a proxy Oracle does it work to bunker the mineral line then salvage it later?

I really wouldn't. You can prepare for proxy oracle by simply scouting what he doesn't have and react accordingly.

In theory yes but it would still be better just to use a reaper or scv to check proxy locations
