Hello everyone,
*****UPDATE*********
Hey guys, I've seen a lot of imporvement! I've made a blog about my progress, Click here for the blog!
I'll be posting at least once a week. I would love some feedback on my ideas, my methods anything really 
Take care everyone and THANK YOU SO MUCH! All the feed back has been AMAZING! I know I'll see improvement!
GL HF GG!

I'm kinda worried about making this post as TL seems very hardcore about irrelevant post and banning people...
Let me start with saying that I am a Noob. I Suck at SC2 and I suck at video games in general.
There is just something about SC2 that makes me want to improve. I want to be able to predict what my opponent is doing. The rush of holding off a 6 pool and walking in with colossus is amazing!
I want to get into the Masters league. That is my goal. I want my mechanics and macro so perfect that I never get supply blocked or miss a warp in.
I've read a lot of post and talked to a lot of people about my skill level and my abilities.
I want your input. I really want this to be a community experiment. Is it possible for a bronze leguer to get to Masters?
I'm not looking for a miracle. I know it won't happen overnight. But with your help it can happen efficiently.
Yes I have read http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=208343 and numerous other posts on TL and B.Net, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to get me to masters. I don't want to cheese my way there. I genuinely want to change the way I think, play and act in SC2.
So basically, HELP ME!!!
<3
Thanks

of course it's possible, with a lot of hard work and a ton of time spent playing, watching, reading and analysing.
i'm curious as to how long it'll take. maybe two seasons (as long as you're inherently bad at sc2)?
|
Of course it is possible, you need to get off the forums though and simply start playing.
|
Dedication is what you need NomNomNom. (I assume that's your real name because it's there in the end) If you say you general suck, even more dedication is needed. Or maybe a lot of practice?
And write a blog on your progress to keep yourself motivated.

I just met a guy a few days ago that was only high diamond. He asked me to play and I was surprised how well he played. I would say he plays at a mid masters level at least. We talked after playing a few games and we eventually got to our experience in the beta where he told me he started off as a copper player. I was extremely impressed.
So, yes, I believe it is possible for a bronze player to become a masters player if he really wants it. Just lots of focus and having fun with the game can really improve your play so much.
I'm ~1500 masters just for reference. Get a positive attitude and keep it, don't let losses effect you too much, and don't be afraid to take advice. And always GL HF  . Good luck!

Hey,
of course it is possible but it will take you a lot of time and practice to get into masters league.
I would suggest you to browse liquidpedia for strategys and watch every educational VOD you can find (e.g. Day9 dailys).Also look at every replay you lost to try to find your leaks!
If you want someone to look at your replays and look for improvment PM me and i may can help you out!
GL in improving!

I went from bronze to high diamond, while having to do a masters degree, playing on a friend's laptop and spending less than 4 hours of SC2 a week. I took me 3 months. I am now having a bit more free time and I am trying to reach Masters. I am being matched against masters dudes, so I think that I need a bit more practice and I'll be able to make it in there. What that means for you is that it's possible to even get to Grandmasters. GLHF
EDIT; Actually it was around 5 months, now that I think about it ;D.

Its do-able . I was Bronze at release and no RTS experience whatsoever. I've worked my way into Diamond and I think I can get to Masters next season. Just keep watching streams/ tournaments. Not only are they fun, but try to look at how the pros play and try to use them in your own play. Also Day9 was a big part of my improvement ! :D
|
Yes. I've been through bronze to masters. Took me a while but it was super fun, frustrating process. The process of improvement is so amazing ! Like you have no clue how to hold something off, then two days later of improving then you find it easy to improve. It is SUPER fun. The most frustrating part is when people give you information that is deemed false and you don't know what to do other than rage. If you have rage problems then control that then the process is hard but really worth it. Good Luck, Have fun, GG,
PM me if you want help with some stuff.

Ok, So my stats.
I started playing RTS games mid Season 1.
I've literally never played PC games, I only ever had a PSx and all I played as Metal Gear Solid.
I was in bronze since Mid Season 1, I played Zerg and went 7 roach till I got to Gold. At Gold I started losing consistently to Platinum players. I switched to protoss, as I was told it would be easier to learn a macro style of play with Toss.
I was placed back into Bronze by the end of season 1. Started season 2 in Bronze, I actually wasn't able to play as my laptop go stolen at school. I only started play a few weeks before the league lock.
Recently I've been playing many high Bronze/sliver players.
Is there anything I need to include?
I use Grid keys for hotkeys. I can't think of anything else I should include.
I'm looking for practice ideas, realistic goals and general ideas of improving play.
Thanks!

Appears as you play protoss. Are you not already masters.
BWAAHAHA, nah, jokes aside.
Watch dailies and watch replays and watch streams.
Alot of observing.
And most important.PLAY ALOT
|
When Season 3 starts I will be Masters league. Bronze-Masters in 7 months ;D
|
I've gotten from bronze to masters, w/ a race change inbetween (T->P)
That having been said, I don't remember the last time I expanded lol
|
Yeah it is, i started in bronze in august 2010, and now im high masters, on my way to GM
|
SC2 is the first RTS I've ever played. I placed in bronze. I've been masters since it was made. Def doable.
|
I started in bronze in december, and I was masters 2 weeks after the patch that created the master league, no prior RTS experience, I just played the game 12-16 hours a day for 2 months, I never watched streams seriously or looked up builds, just watched my replays to see what I should have done differently, went from knowing nothing about the game and having 10 apm bronze zerg to high master with 300 apm... just play the game and you'll get there
|
I've been supply blocked for over 4 minutes within the first 10 minutes of the game. Shit happens^. You prob overestimate the skill of masters, it's definitely feasible.
|
i went from bronze to diamond(before i took a couple month break). And minigun(gm prot) started in bronze since this was his first rts...so its not impossible
|
Anything is possible, if you just want it badly.
Even though you must master all the aspects of the game, you can still see rapid development in your mechanics by focusing your training on them. I would recommend that you first become a master in very basic things and leave the strategical grand schemes for later. Don't try to master everything at once. You can climb up to platinum/diamond by simply never being supply blocked and always producing units. Having way more units than your opponent counters most tactics/openings/builds.
Just focus your eyes on the upper-right corner most of the time and you'll be fine. Minerals, gas and supply count are the most important things in the whole game. You don't need to stare a battle for 20 seconds. Looking at the minimap is also more important than gazing at all the battles.

Is there any way people play?
To all the Bronze to Master players, Was there ever that " OH man! thats what I'm missing" moment? When did you start noticing major changes in your play? What did you start doing really different?
