As far as improving... get a practice partner from these forums (PM me if you want.. I'd be more than happy to assist) that will help you. Two people working more towards bettering themselves is always going to be more productive than two people trying to win vs each other. (Till you have the basics mastered). | ||

Also is interesting to see the difference between SC1 and SC2 because ofc the SC2 lowest ranks are/was really new players (also new to RTS some time) instead of SC1 ICCup where most of the time also D- players are experienced players. I suggest to you to watch a lot of pro replays/vods and copy their style. I think that rushes and cheese will ever work especially at low ranks so try to learn all the already developed cheesy builds and improve your micro than try to make your own pimp builds which will work because the game is very new. Thx op make more ^^ GL | ||

I am stuck on bronze as well. All these comments about "check day9 and watch a couple of replays" are just bull. I have watched dozens of dailies from day9 (and have gotten several good points that certainly have improved my vision of the game) as well as checked a lot of replays. I have over 15 years of background in competetive online gaming (fps games only) with some playing around of rts such as c&c, supcom and so. I too was expecting the lower level play to be "DURR what does this button do" but no, in the rare exception that I'm not cheesed with one or another strategy that totally screws up any attempt to maintain a specific plan or build order (that I've tried to mimic from those replays and videos) then it's an attack that I would have to really have microing skills and the sorts to handle. The entry level for SC2 seems really a steep ladder to climb. I mean, checking the documentation in terms of replays and various commentators, doing training with builds (with yabot and the likes) and really learning to optimise to shave a few seconds off from this and that doesn't seem to be enough. Please, have some respect towards your fellow gamers that are trying to have fun and improve instead of bashing them with those lame "lol bronze" comments. Thank you. You're going completely in the wrong direction. You should most definitely NOT be trying to optimize builds and you should most definitely NOT try to maintain a specific build regardless of circumstances. The first one is not worth it at your level, and the second one is plain bad, because you should be reacting to your opponent. If you're in bronze your errors are much more basic. You're not constatnly producing workers, you're not constantly spending your resources and you're not scouting/don't know how to respond to the enemy. Good advices. OP should follow them. Dont try to micro your units. Dont even do this in bronze. This isnt a game about micro especially in bronze league. Create workers, production buildings and units. When your base is saturated and you have 15+ units, expand. When your 2 base are saturated and you have below 500 minerals, push and win. As simple as that. Especially as a terran : you can push against towers with your siege tanks, you can defend easily with a wall-in and you can scout easily with scans. Not to brag or anything but before playing SC2 I didnt played any RTS games. I was in platinum during beta and now diamond by playing 150 games overall. I think my competitive background (I played CS) helped me a lot. Ive a lot of friends who are in top french CS teams aswell and just picked up RTS with SC2. They are already in diamond in 2-3 weeks. Starcraft 2 is a game with certain mechanics. I think playing on a high level video game teams helped us understand the basic mechanics and exploit them. Workers, buildings, units, keep your money low, energy low on CC and be as fast as possible at everything you do. Its easy to say but having these kind of background helped us reach these goals faster than you. Everytime you see a replay or do a mistake, you should not to it again, ever. Its hard to do but you should concentrate on it. Make workers, buildings, workers, units, workers, expand, workers, buildings, units, workers, units, push -> win. Dont try to micro, attack move into his base and win. If he turtles, expand more and more and more. Eventually you'll win. Dont try to cheese and work on your mechanics. Its not about the win its about improving your macro. | ||

I believe the meta-game in the Bronze league is as innocent as it can be compared to the other leagues that have players who have done their share of research of BOs, tactics, etc. When the game started out, I'm guessing that most Bronze league players would just rush and cheese without even knowing that they were cheesing or going all-in. Eventually players would learn that if they defend 1 or 2 pushes they would win with ease. Eventually the loyal cheesey and rushing players will alter their build so that they wouldn't fall behind so much. It must be really cute to watch Bronze players go at it lol. | ||

So judging by those 2 games nah, you can still win with early aggression if you do it properly. About the "lack of mechanics" thing, everyone below Platinum has awful mechanics. 30 APM are all you need until at least platinum. Just concentrate on early harrassment and builds that force your opponents to multitask and they all will crumble. Mechanics are also extremely easy to get better at until a certain level, much easier than you'd think. If you for 3 hours a day practice a build order where you try to go as fast as possible, after a few days you will most likely 1. have clearly above 100 apm 2. be able to do a build perfectly, letting you easily cruise into at least platinum. Most people just don't bother, because they think that they won't learn, or mechanics are things some people have or some don't or whatever. My friend was an awful SCBW player who didn't manage to stay even at D- and lost 95% of all his games and was just really bad. In SC2 he was placed in silver and is now in the Gold league and does things correctly now. He's been improving really fast. I'm not sure why that is, but at least he's been listening to my advice... He had about 20-30 APM in SCBW but now that he's tried to improve it in SC2 his APM is around 80 in every game and that's getting him along just fine. You can improve your mechanics really easily if you put effort into it. During the course of about 2 months I improved my SCBW APM from 80-100 to 220 by just playing without playing to win, but rather playing to do everything as fast as possible. EDIT: Huh, if you're in the Bronze league and not even aiming/trying to get better, is this seriously the correct forum | ||

Embarrassingly, I got rolled by a silver terran last night who pulled off a particularly nasty 3 rax timing push which I didn't quite read until too late. (I saw 2 raxes but the third was really late). I have to say my experience in diamond that the level of play has increased a lot in the month since release. It's not quite what it was in the beta, but it's getting there. | ||
