I've got a question -
I'm completely new to Starcraft, I just finished watching the Dreamhack tournament and suddenly feel like playing Starcraft but I'm sort of leery about getting into the ladders because I'm pretty terrible - I'm 27 years old and I'm typically not very good at strategy games (I'm more of a game "Voyeur") but I would really like to learn to play this game well. So I guess what I'm asking - is there any hope for me, being so old to start and am I going to get slaughtered in the ladders or are there a solid group of players in the same boat as me?

Thanks in advance for any answers I'm sorry if this was discussed before but I couldn't find anything in the search.

Also Go Huk and Go Canada!

Ladder will place you between people of your level after a couple of games. The first ±10 will probably include some experienced players who will slaughter you, but after that it gets easier
Zerg lategame is imbalanced as shit. Also: "Protoss is really strong recently. Perhaps, it's time for there to be some changes for Terran." -MMA. Even MMA asks for buffs. Srsly Blizzard. Srsly.

Toastie is dead on. For a long time you'll get absolutely MURDERED by everyone. It's the initiation process most people go through. You'll get better in obvious ways like learning how to constantly produce scvs and you'll get better in subtle ways that you won't even realize. The best advice? Play constantly, put your name in the Practice Partner thread here for people to practice with at your level,

Recommended Threads here in the strategy section is also a really great resource to new players.

But nothing will help as much as just playing.

Good luck, half fun and welcome to (non lurking) Team liquid!

Read the strategy forum.

People can't help if you "can't win". Watch your replays, read other peoples threads and analyze what you're doing wrong. First step is to learn.

(Post script: Please don't open bad threads in strategy)

Gaming is a passion. As long as you have a drive there is a way.

Like a old saying goes

Lim Yo Han didn't become the emperor over one night

There is also another saying

But he became the emperor eventually anyways.


Now I know you aren't BoxeR but hard work and motivation is what it really counts

Or Rome wasn't built in a day I love team liquid. It's just the right blend of multi cultural and focused around one passion.

Hang out, post, talk to people in blogs, laugh on the automated ban list, scream with fans and haters on live report threads, stalk Hot_Bid; Team Liquid is a city, there's a place for you too

Never to late to learn something new, all you have to do is apply yourself! Tune into players streams, day9 and really try and understand why they do what they do. Remember, at heart, this is an economy game first and foremost. The only way to get good at anything is to do it a ton, go for it! And good luck :D

for a while i was thinking about something like a Thor expand then transition into a mech oriented build. My reasoning is that Thors are excellent counter to Banshee and hellion openings and are almost on equal footing to marine tank openings. Instead of rushing thor and attacking use it as a defensive tech advantage and expand.

That sounds like a good idea. Of course turning feces into meat sounds like a.. well horrifying but beneficial idea. How would it stack up against each of the openings used in the last GSL final? Would 1 1 1 hellion harass with a medivac abuse the mobility of a thor too much?

You should develop it to a point where you could share it in strategy then make a [D] thread and get Terran players input

Question for you, does the "Find Match" button in SC2 every connect you to custom matches? I just played a match where a guy said he had set up a "Non-rush" practice custom match and I joined it with the "Find Match" button but all I am doing is laddering. How could this be possible?

He was really mad when I beat him that is why I am wondering, and I am not out to tick people off just play. Is there a way I can make sure I am only Laddering?

Also how long do I have to be at rank one of my division before it will bump me to the next division, currently rank 1 bronze division, and I have being consistently beating rank 10 and up Silver league people? Is it a random division bump or what?

Thanks.
