SC2 takes just as much hard work and dedication to master as anything else. Good post.

a coach is often times not worth the money, but they do help

when you have someone coaching to you, yelling into your ear, it will help you develop a sense of timing much faster, and can help you realize how slow you are or how many mistakes you make and what to keep thinking of during a match

however, a teacher is a whole nother story

a teacher is the kind that needs to be significantly better and in most cases a top player; otherwise the teaching is inefficient or sometimes not very accurate

these are the kinds of people that deserve the $35 an hour, for their knowledge and protips

not saying that $35 for a coach is not worth it; it's just unnecessary

Actually your thoughts are pretty fine written.But there is one thing

Some people cant just stay under pressure while playing games ,and loosing like 5-10 in a row for some ppl is alot of stress,and mental power.

How do you cope with that,what are your thoughts on that?
everyone will tell ,if u get stressed by something,just dont do it.A game that is becoming stressful is not healthy,is it?


I do have experiences in playing under pressures as well; that problem was solved after playing many games in ladder. You are getting pressures in ladder because you are scared of losing. In my opinion you shouldnt be scare to lose, each game you lose, you will learn more than you actually wins. Playing lots of games will make you relax, that's how im relaxed in ladder. playing lots of game gives you confidence and mental power, you get stronger while struggling.

If you are having bad days, like 5-10, its up to you. Personally I had day that I won 9 games and lost 20 in one day. At that time I felt so bad and mad but now think back, I think that helped me, but you should observe yourself while losing those games, and think about why you are losing so much. Are you just having bad day OR are your opponents so good?

Is that REALLY the worst you've had? Lol
I've gone like 3 and 25.

Very inspiring post. Also, I believe your English is better than about 1/5 of Americans anyways, so keep it up. However, I do not believe this belongs in the strategy section, does it?

This OP summarizes my existence. I have even uninstalled the game out of frustration only to reinstall it days later, still pissed about a losing streak.

Well, i have read this the second time after losing a lot and i must say this is just that whats happening in my mind. "omfg why should i play this game when i only lose". i watched the reps and thought about my mistakes. I was matched against the same protoss i met in the morning and i saw in the replays from yesterday that he was very greedy in early game. i used that and crushed him with stim timing push. I was so happy =) thanks a lot again.

@Bio0rMech: haha youre 3900 T and say that? :D you must have really talent =)

Thanks man! I went for the longest time not struggling, I was effortlessly doing well in the higher leagues based on my experience in SC1/BW. I'm struggling now, and having a hard time; and this is good! It lets me see my weaknesses and improve.

And I agree; coaching? No, not for the large majority of people. Years of dedicated practice, and genuine commitment is what will improve people the most.

You win many an internet sir. Good read, I shall take it to heart.

I wanna be a progamer, or at least compete in tournies, but I get really demotivated when I play for awhile. This made me realize that's probably a good thing, because I actually care about wanting to improve!

Great read, it really motivates me to ladder and get better, becouse i want to be progamer in future and i think i have skills for it. THX for that amazing post!
I also have few qestions:
1. Do u have EU Battle.net account?
2. Your playing with Korean pros and with foreign pros, what are your toughts about skill gap?
3. I didnt played any game competitively before SC2, and i did not played even beta of SC2, so my question is, do u have any tip for "newbie" like me (im low master atm)?

Hi I also have a few questions. I heard that koreans do one build over and over over specific race to became better ,should I do the same? And If yes ,what should I do? I play T ,should I FE every game ,and then get a fast third every single game? Because I think that some 1 base play is not gonna improve my skill a lot.
