Even so, what is your goal? If you have some sort of serious ambitions about starcraft 2 Id probably lower them by now. Plat for 1.5years almost certinly means that their is no way you can play at the highest level, sorry but thats just how it is. Sadly talent is just as big a part of this game as work ethic. | ||

Having said that, if you feel you truley have hit this 'skill cap' and honestly arent having fun anymore, then play another race. A lot of my friends who felt they could not advance and just generally were not having fun did this and began loving the game again. It gave them new challenges, new build orders and a fresh outlook on something they havent experienced. A couple of them even got higher ranks than their 'main' race, which I found humorous. | ||

if you really cant step one step ahead, its time to go one back or even more and rebuild your basics from the ground, cause something is going wrong ps: perhaps you NEED help, so ask some master/diamonds to help you STOP watching PRO reaplys PRO streams etc that wont help you. go and watch some diamonds and master replays, its like a 10th league soccer player watch messi and try his tricks, when he should try some tricks from league 3 | ||

If you feel stuck at a certain "skill level" and unable to advance no matter what then you are doing something very very wrong. Stop trying to reach for the stars when you can't even catch a butterfly! | ||

Even if you don't understand everything you are watching, humans are very good at pattern recognition. If you watch 1000 pro games you will have a better understanding of how the game is supposed to flow, where your units are supposed to be, etc. This isn't even to mention the fact that you can learn better specifics such as build orders. | ||

Yes, my goal is to play at a high level, maybe even become pro. But I've already begun to realize, a while ago in fact, it will never happen. Maybe I just don't have that talent or some other skill needed to be really "good" at this game. It's just hard letting go of a dream... | ||

Sometimes when people watch pro replays, all they see is how shit they are in comparison. Sometimes people need to learn by other ways, like through seeing their peers (people on the same level) teach them interesting moves, which may incidentally have been learned by watching pros do it, but the point is its coming from a player whose skill you can relate to. We all know where the end point is. It's not like we develop only by imitating pro players 24-7. | ||

Depends what part we're talking about if you're not in Bronze Silver Gold then yeah pro replays are what you should be looking at, I learned how to play against mech in diamond from watching Violets replays. In Bronze/silver/gold the best thing you can do is just play, learn the metagame of that league and play to it | ||
