Laddering doesn't seem to help me improve that much, even when I play a lot more. I grinded 200+ games trying to get into GM in the week before season 5 but pretty much ended up in the same rank as before. Is custom games versus good players the only way to get better? Is there an alternative? | ||

edit: @scila there are a ton of custom maps like marine split challenge that can help you improve your game. analyzing replays of both yourself and of players your level is also very beneficial to finding out your strengths, but more importantly your weaknesses. | ||

Is there an alternative? Honestly I don't think really aiming for GrandMaster when you are probably (completely) new at StarCRaft 2 is the right way to go about it. I myself am in Bronze League and I can tell you that you won't LEARN anything, as most of your opponents don't use build orders or do not execute them too well. However you can always look at your own play, supply count, and see where you made mistakes when executing your build order and so on. Such helps you get better aswell. Also I suggest you turn your sound off and set every graphics to low, as it will force you to look around more often, look at your supply count and so on. It simply forces you to be aware of your situation and punishes you if you're not, that is also a great way to learn if you really notice your mistakes. | ||

"Game Region Warning Retail copies sold in United States (your account country) will connect to the North America game region." but on the page for payment it says "region, europe" so how do I get a working european starcraft 2 game on my same account? | ||

Now...granted, I was in silver league, and I'm fairly certain a BW pro as good as tossgirl wouldn't have fallen to a lowly silver league Terran like me, but the taking of the whole map, and the unit control I saw were absolutely "Korean", if I may be so bold. I couldn't find a "tossgirl" stream, so I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this player on the NA server as well, and if so, if the rumors of tossgirl coming to SC2 might thus be true. Not sure what she'd be doing on the NA servers losing to silver leaguers though... | ||

Afterwards, they expanded to every other base on the map (which I was able to scout with the Vikings I had made) and from there, I got up on upgrades and killed off all the expos.

With no offence meant, I struggle to envision a pro or former pro of any RTS (especially BW) losing to someone in silver given enough exposure to SC2 to not lose to ridiculous things. If she was gonna switch to SC2 (or indeed if she's been playing it in her free time) she'd likely not have used the name tossgirl, she'd likely be on KR and not NA and she'd be masters on any server unless she'd literally just started playing. | ||

Not sure what she'd be doing on the NA servers losing to silver leaguers though... Just fyi, sixjaxmajor, when he first came from sc:bw, got into masters instantly. He did this without even knowing what a creep tumour did, because his mechanics he transferred from sc1 were just that good. Tossgirl could easily wipe the floor with major in sc1. Guaranteed she would transition to sc2 much in the same way. | ||

My hotkeying still f*cks up, had to give up another match because of that Ctrl + Number issue. I've found quite a few threads about this here on Teamliquid.net but they were made during the beta, so I'd like to know if Blizzard included something like this by now, because I can't find anything. | ||
