Based on available sales figures, Starcraft 2 will likely average about 1000 copies a month this year. Many of these copies are second accounts for existing players who have used up name changes or copies for people who will never play the game in multiplayer.

There's really no influx of new players. Heart of the Swarm will likely change that, of course.

I'm probably around Bronze level, I have been playing LoL since season 2 of Starcraft 2 started and I had just hit gold (after a lot of hard work). I want to get into it again, but I am not confident I will do well. Just doing AI's until I re-learn the controls. Last game, I got supply blocked at 24 and average unspent resources were like 600 For stuff other than basic controls, do you think it would be better to do that versing actual people? I was 8 mins into the game vs a hard and I didn't even get attacked!

Also, my mate (Masters) told me that bronze - diamond is all about the same because the people who were really bad just stopped playing the game and that even low level play is a lot harder than it used to be, is this true?

step 1: Pick the race you want
step 2: Look for an unit composition that is just awesome (MM,Roach/Hydra,Zealot/Stalker)
step 3: Start game, produce constant workers/supply and concentrate on building units, expand whenever you can. Every 5 min do an a-click into opponents base. If you get more than 500 minerals punch yourself in the face.

Gold in 1 week.

Watching Day9, following the pro-scene, and reading up amazing strategies won't help anyone that is anywhere under platinum since mechanics, micro and macro should normally be the real problem.

I have been top 8 platinum on NA for a year now, and the main reasons I didn't get promoted are:
- Sloppy macro
- Micro blunders

My mechanics have been getting better lately since I've been practicing a little more, and I can see myself getting promoted soon since my win rate is getting over 70%, but that the only reason I'm getting out of plat... I am finally working out the basics.

So in my own experience, Day9 is fun, love watching pro matches... But it doesn't help me as a player, gotta work on the basics before worrying about amazing strats.

There are a couple of funny stories here about "friends in bronze". Doesn't really mean anything, though.




Day9 does cover some micro, macro and mechanics too. Just FYI. Facts are not just fun, but required in a discussion.

I know for a fact that I'm not a natural Bronze, because I've been playing bronzies for months on end, doing incessant research, and have won precisely ONE game.: Blizzard needs to establish a Zinc bracket for people with superannuated reflexes, and who still curse the absence of a "PAUSE" button to scratch one's chin, pour a drink, and try to recall which antagonist's unit does what.
