I think after 2 years and a half of sc2, if you're still in bronze....well im sorry to tell you that you just don't have what it takes to play an rts game. although it really nice to see so much support from the community to help bronzies to diamonds.

I think if you've been goofing off in customs and 4v4s with friends and only playing the occasional 1v1 for fun for the last three years, but now you're getting interested in the intricacies of solid 1v1 play, you deserve to be able to come looking for advice without getting condescended to as too dumb to make it.

I didn't call anyone dumb, you did conclude that. I'm saying some people just arent good at some types of games. probably they suffer ladder anxiety, or do not want to put th effort to leave the "clicking" adn start working finger memory of key bindings, or simply are too casuals to play an rts game. you can play starcraft as casually as you play agrybirds. but then whats the point of checking the forums for strats when you,re dat casual. rts game are games that require ALOT of playtime/dedication and im pointing out that after 3 years and still bronze maybe you just don't wanna play an rts game since you actually are anxious or too lazy to put the efforts.

I just don't think topics like these are needed because you get out of the bronze by simply playing and not caring about your stats, that are meaningless at that point.
I have lost my phone number, can I have yours?

I think that if you are experiencing such an extreme case of ladder anxiety you should stop playing stressful games over all and better yet you should probably see a doctor and get yourself checked out!

I've been looking to transition from Protoss to Terran for a while, I'm around Gold with Protoss but I cheesed my way for the most part, 4 gateing and such!

For the life of me I just couldn't get into Terran properly, I was trying to be too complicated to start with, learning different builds for different match ups and just basically falling apart.

I've played this build tonight, albeit against the AI just to get used to it and my macro is getting a lot better! although I do struggle to keep my minerals really low once I get onto 3 bases (I also sneak in Conc after CS is finished when I have the resources spare just to help my A.move a little)

Anyhoo, enough waffling on! Thanks for a great build to learn Terran Macro with, muchly appreciated

Honestly, I find many things said about Bronzies, including things on this thread, to be highly offensive. I'm a Bronze Zerg myself, yet I can comfortably execute Jaedong's ling-hydra timing with double upgrades to contest the enemy Protoss' third at around 11:45. I can also execute a standard macro game vs all races. Most notably is my ZvT matchup where I play ling-bling-Muta. I'm able to control Mutas well and macro at the same time at home. Then, I just roll right over them. However, I'm still not getting out of Bronze

If you make a thread and post a replay or two asking for critique of your macro/mechanics/strategy, i'm sure lots of people would be willing to help you - depending on how well you have strategy down, you can just improve macro/mechanics and go to diamond-gm, if you can comfortably execute like you say then you will fly up
