So I dont win the SQ, and I don't win the game either because I am just pouring lings up against a 3 tank siege line, or 2 cannons and a colossus, or something like that.. Of course, i win from time to time, but it gets a little frustrating. Does anyone have a replay or something of zerg levl 2 getting over 100 SQ? I'd be very interested in seing it! | ||

Why is that? 1) Its way easier to focus on the mistakes when the opponent is not messing with you 2) Its way easier when you have the muscle memory to properly execute it, which my previous point allow to do (ladder slows down this process) 3) The fun in killing your opponent with basic units is tremendously surpassed by frustration when you get kited/owned by cloaked (which is prevalent in lower leagues) units and lose again and again on first levels 4) Let's face it, losing is never fun and foremost - losing a (highly competitive) game never will be fun. Simple. | ||

Simple. Interesting, but I think that playing against the AI is boring after a while. Overall, the decision to play on the ladder or against the AI should be a personal preference kind of a thing. Do what you have more fun doing! Also, I find losing starcraft games fun sometimes :D Gives me a new puzzle to solve, a new challenge to overcome, or a chance to collect more data on a challenge or puzzle that I'm currently working on.

A big part of the level system is getting the feel for each new unit individually and focusing on its strengths and weaknesses. | ||

Have you experienced a lot of responders from Platinum/Diamond leagues and higher? It strikes me that players who perceive themselves to be at higher levels might be initially hesitant to diverge from their Nestea-copied strategy in favour of only building lings, for example. | ||

Time will tell which is the most effective approach. If you look at BW or any other strategy game, cute strategy and tricks will always give way to perfect mechanics and macro. | ||

Here is a scenario that I would like someone to clarify a little bit when playing against protoss or terran. I get my two bases up. opponent walls in. I drop macro hatch and get a third base. I drop two more macro hatches. I build more queens. Opponent turtles. I run all my lings against his wall. Because of a stalker or a marine, the lings dont attack any buildings, they just flood up against the wall. Collosus/siege tanks melt the lings. This is where I don't know how to proceed. I have 3 bases and 3 macro hatches, 5 injecting queens. He has a ling-proof wall. I can either: 1) just send lings to die, keep building new ones, and once main and second base is mined out, i can just gg out of the game then and there. 2) try to continue developing my economy, and succumbing to his upgraded 200/200 army once he decides to move out. what do you guys do? | ||

you decicated 2 months into your show now, which gets maybe an average of 20 viewers per episode, youre still in gold league (in BW iccup terms that would be like D-----, D being the starting lvl) In your OP you quote a guy who did try out your teaching method and its a gold player who after using your method got demoted to silver.. Also what do you do all day that you had to quit your job for this? Admittedly putting up a show every day is a big commitment and props for that but I cant imagine preparing for this show takes up all that much time. And you clearly dont spend all day practicing cause you dont have many ladder games played and youre still in gold league. (OK I read on reddit that you have 3 accounts so I dont know how much youve played but still theyre all in gold league) In the beta I met someone, he was completely new to Starcraft and he wanted to get good by learning solid builds and just practicing them a lot, one day he played me 14 times and he lost to me 14 times, but he kept on getting better. Maybe 10 months later he got to Grandmaster league with 3 different accounts. He didnt need any "lvl"-system to get there and he did it while studying for university and having a job. Of course not everyone is as talented or puts in as much time, but I dont think a gold lvl player is really in the position to tell others what the most efficient way to get better he is, because clearly it isnt working for you. Of course if you go to a bronze league player and tell him to do this over and over hes gonna learn from it and improve his mechanics. But if I went to him and gave him a few lessons about how to get better at the game with a more standard approach he would also improve at least as fast. Just because some people who dont even know a-move will benefit from this doesnt mean in the slightest its a good way to learn. If I had a student maybe I would tell him to do this for a day, just to raise some awareness and then let him learn how to macro with a real build again. I just feel like youre really wasting your time and your show isnt really going anywhere. I guess if you really wanna be involved professionally with ESPORTS you could try out being a caster or sth, theres plenty who are bad at the game, but teaching others really shouldnt be a replacement for a job for anyone who isnt good at it himself. again sorry, you seem like a nice guy, id suggest you do something that is more benifical for your personal future. | ||
