Day9 has the best way of playing random, and that is play a race for each day/practice session. Alternatively, tell yourself "Once I lose 1 game, i switch races" | ||

pvp - 1 gate robo into 3 gates, or straight 3 gate pvz - ffe exclusively. just need to scout effectively, and it becomes the most solid opening. those are my suggestions | ||

Alternatively, tell yourself "Once I lose 1 game, i switch races" Roll dat dice. 1/2 zerg 3/4 terran 5/6 protss. The way I do it is usually playing x games as random, just to see which race/mu needs most work on, and then I focus solely on that for a good while Edit: zvz- ling/baneling wars will happen. Just get ready for that tvz- reactor hellions. I know it's been said. But seriously. reactor. Hellions. | ||

Announce race at the start of the game. I want to really learn all 3 races, so I don't want to disrupt my opponents BOs because they don't know my race (i.e. Protoss can go FFE if they know I'm Zerg). I do this, but people dont believe me and protoss still do gateway walloff builds when i random zerg | ||

![]() Most people in masters actually seem to believe me when I tell race. Or at least, I face a very large amount of FFEs in ZvP ![]() | ||

The effort needed is probably more than 3 times that of playing one race. Not really. While knowing matchups etc is important, the most important aspect of SC is mechanics and macro. Pro players are top masters with all races even if they more or less never use them because their mechanics are so good. I'm platinum zerg and got to gold immediately on a terran smurf account even though I had never used T on ladder and I lost 2 placement matches on purpose. It's probably true for most people from plat and up that their offraces are about the same league or one league lower. It's harder for masters since macro makes a smaller difference the higher you go, but saying it's more than 3 times the effort... nah. | ||

As for TvT, something with mech is really vague. I'd go Thorzains 1rax expo, as one rax expo is fine for holding anything (reaper/hellion/medivac play can be really annoying though) or gas first not cloak banshee into mech if you want mech. 1-1-1 is terrible vs Zerg (again, imo), mass ling just crushes you. If the Z sees you haven't expanded (and stops droning around 30 and pumps lings you'll get destroyed horribly). And reactor hellion works decently vs Toss, esp when they 1gate expo as you force them to stay at home and can often get ~10 probe kills. Just remember to get a bunker depending on how fast you see their stalker coming. I always am happy to match randoms because I feel if I can survive the early game, I have an advantage in the late game but gl hf to you! | ||

The only thing that resets is your wins (and losses if you're masters+), your ladder rank and league. Correct me if I'm wrong ^^ You're wrong. If a player doesn't play a single game for a full season (so he's not even assigned to a league when ladder resets), then he gets full MMR wipe (5 placement matches instead of 1 and against bronze opponents instead of previous level). Learning something new everyday ![]() Sorry for misleading post. | ||
