With that being said, I'd like to get back into BW, except as a serious player now. I got really good at SC2 in a short matter of time and I'm super bored of how easy it is. I want a challenge. I pretty much don't know anything about BW, anyone have a good place to get started? | ||

Private ladder where all competitive players outside Korea play. It's pretty tough but don't be discouraged. Don't worry about strategies, just work on your macro and multitasking for now (a lot tougher in BW than in SC2), once you can macro to a reasonable degree (keep resources below 500 most of the time), then read up on strategies in the BW Strategy forum or on BW Liquipedia. | ||

Basically, every single Korean professional game. They will teach you endless amounts of knowledge. I'd check this out: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Meta_game And then go here (it would help if you listed your race, but learn all three to improve on the above link): http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Terran_Strategy http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Zerg_Strategy http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Protoss_Strategy | ||

It's like if I say I wanna play Go because Checkers is too easy. Sure I'm not the best checkers player in the world, but checkers really is decidedly simple. I can feel like I've 'mastered' checkers without going to competitions. | ||

But for bw your going to be asking alot of questions in the strategy section as its a very tough game ^^. Even though there might be many definitions of ”good” when it comes to SC, its pretty ridiculous to claim that OP wasnt good because you havent heard of him. There are tons of good players that you never heard of. For me it’s a good thing that people get back to BW so why don’t you give him some tips instead of this “yo, come back when u won GSL”-attitude? On topic: People have already mentioned the benefits of Liquipedia, iCCup and watching professional BW, so I just want to add that many find it easier to pick a race and focus on one match up at the time. It is also good to find people you can play regularly, preferably people that are slightly better then yourself. Lastly, don’t get discouraged if you lose all the time, because you will, instead just focus on having fun and see your losses as a part of the process of getting better. | ||

Its good to do both but if your new it would probably be benificial to join a clan and get help from players who know the game a bit better. However, assume everyone on west or east is a D player no matter how good they seem and they say their rank is. Players off iccup have no way of judging their rank and whenever they get better at sc they just assume that if their a half a level better than whatever they last thought their rank was. If you visited East or West recently you would know that the foreign scene on both servers are pretty dead. Hell, even /j clan X17 went under. | ||

But in a serious sense, i agree with puppykiller. just go on US East or west. mostly everyone will be like mid D... low D+ max. just play there, get warmed up, then go on iccup. GL HF GG | ||
