 ). Certain parts are easier for kids, its like how learning to play piano is easier for kids, but that does in no way mean they have better potential. Starting early is never bad, it should only be encouraged, but this doesnt mean people who start later have no chance to hit very high level play, in the end it all comes down to raw talent, and how you develop it. Also know the more you challenge your brain, the more efficient your brain gets at overcoming this challenge..the brain never stops growing, even past the age of 25.Tenacity is all, even stephano had to practice hardcore mode to get were he is. Dont give up on anything you start, see the end of it and you will achieve awesome stuff, age is never an excuse for anything. | ||

Just play; you're only 2 months in and this is probably your first RTS. | ||

You may not understand the game as well, but you have a huge capacity to learn I myself began playing broodwar when I was... 6 or 7 years old. | ||

Most specifically, your first priority should be macro, and getting that down as best you can. Micro is mostly unit control, if not all unit control. Macro is basically everything else: making (production) buildings, scvs, units, upgrades, etc. Have a specific, logical, achievable goal to work to. Losing is not bad; it's actually the easiest way to see what you need to improve upon/weakest spots. That being said, analyze your replays! and don't be over burdened if you feel you have a lot of flaws. Focus on one weak spot at a time, once you feel it's sufficient, keep it in mind and work to your next goal. Learn from the best, but play to your abilities; Watch player streams, and tournament games of players you'd want to emulate but! DO NOT try to do what they do play for play, instead be aware of the decisions, build orders, timings and all of the background information that you CAN use. Starcraft 2 is not an easy game. It takes time, effort, and experience but you WILL improve if you want to. Practice makes perfect. Like I've said in an earlier post, your young age is great; you can devote a lot of time into playing and learning Starcraft 2. A lot of practice alone will yield amazing results, some players do not need to be as creative as WhiteRa, Freaky, Squirtle, TLO etc etc, they can simply manage because they are so damn solid (great macro / micro) at just playing the game. | ||

I guess it also depends if you're naturally gifted on RTS games. | ||

I've heard people say that in order to be good at sc2, you need to be a certain age, what I have heard is 15-30 but idk. Is that I am 13, and still silver after like 2 months a coincidence? I have heard people say that since im younger, my hand-eye isnt as good, I cant make decisions as well, etc. Therefore making my chances of getting out of low leagues extreamly difficult. Do you agree with this? Would it be better for younger people like me to quit sc2 for now, because we arent gonna get any better till we are older? Please Discuss Hand eye at 13 is very good assuming you do anything with your hands. If it isn't then it can be developed. There could be something to be said about maybe not grasping overall strategy as well when a gamer is too young but I think that young people have the most time/dedication/ability to learn new things and do them very well. If you arent great at most games then you wont be great at this one likely though  | ||

What I want to say is that although i actually DISLIKE Sc2 I made it into diamond in like 20-30 games using my wc3 experience. Most people just accumulate useful skills gained from all the activities they practice, so unless you're doing really bad and hate the game there is no reason to stop sc2 - if you dont get decent in this game, something else comes out later and you'll be happy you've got the experience that can gives you a boost there. | ||
