This just happened to me on ladder. One of the sickest transitions I've ever seen in my entire life from this Protoss. (wink)

I especially like how he was attempting to be sneaky with the cheese, I knew something was wrong when I saw how those gateways were set up.

Near the end of the game I was laughing so hard that I think I cracked 2k minerals at one point, this was too good!

I have a question, a simple one: How do I got about picking a race?
This is a question that has been circling my mind like a pair of sharks smelling blood in the water. I am a mid gold level player. I started out in bronze with Terran, then I hit a wall. I felt like learning something else from a different perspective could help so I switched to Protoss and got into silver. Then I hit another wall. Feeling like I could go no further with my Protoss play I switched to Zerg. I quickly started progressing from simple 1 base builds, to now always being some what forced to expand with Zerg. Now here I am, I was High gold for the longest time with Zerg but took a break because I hit another wall. Now I'm having a race crisis and can't focus on one race to excel at it and practice with.
TL;DR
I'm in gold and don't know which race to play to advance to more leagues.

sorry to break it to you, but i consider experienced players by your standards to be players who have maybe played 100 games in the past 6 months. If you have not touched rts in years, I don't think your mechanics will be able to mass marines like how experienced players can mass marines.

I suggest you have fun, grind out some ladder in the next couple days and yea just have fun with the tournament

I don't own the game (too cheap to buy it) so i only have 7 hours to learn it, so theres really no shortcut to be able to match up to experienced players eh? damn that sucks

I'm thinking play random until you can decide which match ups you like the most.

I think google and you tube will give you more results than you can watch. http://hotkeyit.com/ has cool videos but you have to pay to watch them.

yeah i'm in the same position.. also a top Gold Protoss, it's pretty annoying -.- but the worst thing about that, these are mostly Silver players...and the platinum players i'm playing against are so easy to crush.. ~~ but that's my hope to jump into platinum

Keep laddering bro Never give up... never surrender!

Gggh Im so sick of portrait farmers. Last 3 games have been completely one sided losses, check their rank last season: diamond, latest 20 matches: pure wins.

I wish leaving in less than 30 seconds would give no change to your MMR

What makes the Korean players so good? Is it really all about intense practice or a general superior ability to handle the hand-eye coordination, the multitasking, and the decision making that make any player very good? I'm new to SC2 but not gaming in general so this strange phenomena where such a small community can dominate the landscape of the competitive scene is surprising.

Or am I mistaken? Are there an equal number of non-koreans as skilled (or more so) that just play IN korea or WITH korea?
