justiceknight: considering its completely identical to Zealot Chef, I'd say they mistakenly added it in. | ||

This is definitely something for map makers to take up; not necissiarly Blizzard. But I like the idea. Rich minerals are a different color -- why not gas? I think it's more of an aesthetic thing than a gameplay thing. | ||

When it comes down to it, it's just another minor thing in the game that has update potential, along with litterally hundreds of other things, even the interface and the client itself. It's good for suggesting on the official forums, I guess, but otherwise it's pretty much useless to get your hopes up. | ||

Pick Terran, play everyday, if you lose analyse your replays and maybe get a idol or something and replicate/copy/study his playstyle. | ||

Disclaimer: I am at work, and have not been able to thoroughly test this. It happened to me in 3 different ladder games. I could very well be wrong. I think Banelings are behaving differently in 1.4. Specifically noticed this during baneling busts. Scenario: Typical 14/14 bust vs Terran. 6 banelings and 16 or so lings outside of wall. 1 ling has scouted ramp, sees reactor+2 depots. A few marines by the wall. select banes, right-click on reactor to send them to their death. Select zerglings to follow in right after bust. In 1.3 and before, the banes will go directly to the reactor. Marines shooting them will not deter the little martyrs from their target. In 1.4, the banelings start up the ramp and start getting shot by the marines. They decide to change targets to the marines and ignore the reactor. This has lead to crappy busts and even outright failures. My guess (if this is real) is that with the change in the patch notes of: Baneling's Attack Structure ability is now a toggle to Enable/Disable Attack Structure. The toggle will determine whether structures are valid targets for auto-attack. This change fixes an issue which caused Banelings to prioritize buildings over hostile units. My guess is that adding a step to set the toggle on banelings will probably fix this for the basic bust... but I'm guessing this also affects the "I'm charging into a base with 3 control groups of units, and want banes hitting this, this and this" sort of moments. No idea how it interacts with bunkers, which is often the first designated target for the banes in a muta/roach/bane/ling attack. I was hoping that someone could test this and confirm that I am wrong and simply misclicked, or that banes are now going to disobey orders regularly. Thanks. | ||

LOADS of practice. 10 hour days of practice is easy. Try 16. When you're not playing you're studying. Being a pro is really a profession, it's hard work! There are tournaments that cater to bronze and silver players. Check Starcraft 2 Tournaments for announcements. I don't see any at the moment but there is usually something to join. For now I would highly reccommend you watch Day9 on stream. He has been a great help to countless people at your level get better. As well, reading the strategy forum (Make sure to read the guidelines on how to post before posting there!) will help you get out of bronze. But mainly? Practice, practice practice. Play 10 games a day. Watch the replays and see what the people that beat you do. Copy them. Evolve your game, get Practice Partners to help you have consistent practice instead of having to defend against one thing you've never seen before one game and a new thing you haven't seen before the next game. Good luck! | ||

Once you're that high you will know which tournaments to enter. Make sure to stay in touch with the community, on team liquid and places like reddit.com/starcraft. You can also watch streams on http://en.justin.tv/directory/gaming, and see the live streams here on tl -->>>. Start practising one build. Learn it on the itnernet or develop it yourself. It can be four gate, 2 base timing, dt rush or anything. Just get really good at it, define it. Then when you're silver or maybe gold, start practising other things. Read up about saturation on your bases, when to expand, what to counter what (which you can see by hitting f12 and going on certain races). And don't get de-motivated! Practise a lot, ask for help, possibly through the in-game chat called Teamliquid (in one word). | ||

It all boils down to passion and interest for the game, your talent and practise, as well as the time you are willing to invest. Pokebunny is one of the best players in the world and he's only 15 (16 now?). Spanishiwa is 17. | ||
