Would you suggest sticking to one or two builds whilst trying to improve instead of doing random builds all the time?

This is awesome stuff man, it motivates me quite a bit!
In SC1, ZvZ was Rock-Paper-Scissors... unless JaeDong was playing, then it was Rock-Paper-Scissors-JD, and JD beats all of them.

i usually dont write comments but i have to in this case...

for me as a high masters in team games trying to get better in 1v1, your advice wasnt helpfull at all, all you are saying is basicly -> practise!

well ok, fair enough you right about that, but for example you also say you have to watch replays of your losses, and look what you did wrong... well in the first place i dont do that because i dont understand what i should do, i dont know what is going on, the only way i win basicly is by cheesing, eg. trying out a build that got hyped on Liquid, some strong rush, i will practise that in 10-12 cpu games untill i mastered it perfectly then just own ppl in 1v1 with it... but everytime it gets beyond that build and i couldnt beat my opponent, i simply dont know what i should do


the way i learn the game is from imitating other players, and in my believe 95% of ALL good players are only imitating others, the problem i have is, everytime i watch GSL, TSL i see a super nice build, i want to watch the replay and learn from it... i cant learn from VODs and i think im not the only one thinking this.

However all those replays are not available, and EVERYTIME i try to improve and learn from replays i end up not finding any replays that will help me out... and in the end i spend 2-3 hours searching and searching for a replay where i can learn something from it.

I think most of the top players are that good because they getting supported by other top players, they dont have to spend hours searching for replays for a certain tactic... bcs they will get the replay from their teammates etc.. and i think thats the major reason why most of the pro's are that good... they never wouldve made it alone

^^You need to find practice partners and learn how to play standard instead of learning cheese builds if you want to make progress, that or get better at cheesing.

Ty BaekHo for this analyse.

I feel really frustrated about what you said about talent. I was just 4k master terran player in season 1, and since like two months i feel like my strategy/micro/macro doesn't improve like i would. So I'm really scared about the fact that I'm reaching my limit. I'm able to beat some pros but I want to be more regular and of course to be able to compete at highest level.

So can hard training compensate a lack of talent ?

(sorry for my bad english).

see you sir

Talent is mostly BS.

The best of the best in any field are there because they live and breathe what they do, so they're doing it constantly and working hard at it.

Just came here from the SC2 Efficient learning guide. This is a very nice read, thanks for the post BaekHo. I'm glad to hear that the more ladder games you play the easier it gets in terms of stress at losing. Time to go hop on the ladder.

Natural Talent does exist. Doesn't mean its everything. Some people are naturally good at math or drawing, or starcraft. Doesn't mean someone else can't reach their level. Just some people achieve skill levels at different rates.
