I hope he likes my MLP MLG OT threads
SORRY that i skiped your post! wasn't even an image;
i don't even play this game anymore.
dont forget the part where i correctly perdict your balance whine a day in advance.
also, why the Int. chart and not the korean one?
cause the int. chart has no relevelent proof of balance and try to make fun of ppl like jasong or devil;
thought it was quite obvious
Gentlemen, your typical protoss player.
the korean one is 55%, you've whined over less before!
wat, can zerg players read? LOL;
since when 44.9% is worse then 41.2%
edit: BUSTED! <3

So are you officially out until HoTs?
ya i really think so. Dota2 is alot of fun, been playing other games like homm3 and stuff, got a big backlog of games to finish, not forgetting school --;. I really really dont like the whole meta game in sc2 atm, hopefully hots will change it. If i ever come back in WoL i'll probably play as zerg, i dunno, zerg is just such a funner race to play with but everybody plays it so it just makes me not want to play it. Hopefully blizzard knows what they are doing which i don't think they do, which is really really sad from them. i Just really wished the whole warp gate mechanic didn't existed.
ps: if you ever want to play some games other then sc2 ( i'll play some team games thow) just msg on steam or pm me on neogaf but going to bed right now!

Watch this video. Guy talks about a smart mindset to hold while training. Several things I've never really thought about.
Gonna try and set goals each game I play.
I wanna pay more attention to the in game clock and scout at least once a minute. Also get my expansion up at 7:00 and my 3rd at 14:00
I feel like if i know what and where my opponent is I'm a lot less anxious when macroing.

Dapollo does not approve of Merz's play.
I read through the text and the video presents some good points. But I'm personally waiting for HoTS to (hopefully) fix PvP and make it less rock-paper-scissors. And to a lesser extent mutalisks, since I 2 base all-in every zerg I play because I hate dealing with mutas.

I can't wait for HotS but I don't see it as an excuse not to play. for all we know it may make things worse.
I just started to do the 2 base all in with 6-7 gates. I make a robo instead of a 7th gate in case I fuck the attack up and need to fall back. need an obs to scout then.
Used to do two star gates but it is a lot harder I feel.

Not sure why macro is making you anxious. Macro is simply a matter of CONSTANTLY making workers, adding production buildings when your # of bases can support it, and making sure your production buildings are always crankin out stuff. Basically, if you do these things, your money will automatically always be low.
You can easily get to platinum with macro alone. Micro, scouting, build orders, good mindset are nice too, but if macro is your weak point, just keep these points in mind. Because guess what, macro makes you have a bigger army than your opponent.

This is just an excuse really that is pretty commonly used by both zergs and protoss. PvP and ZvZ aren't rock-paper-scissors especially at our level.
TvZ
Well yeah, but if I want to practice it in matches I need to have a practice partner, or be lucky to get a zerg on the ladder who mass produces banes.
Darglein's Micro
Thanks! The patrol trick works like a charm. Now if I only did not choke up in the matches themselves....
patrol trick is better than nothing but its not good against ling baneling.
pro's like mkp split their marine without any tricks.
I tried both in the trainer, I can manage the manual split but due to nerves I grab too many marines at once. Going to keep practicing it a lot though.

MKP uses patrol
The marine split map is fun, but not terribly useful. Zergs aren't going to be a-moving banelings if you have tanks out most of the time, and you're going to be running marines behind tank lines first and foremost and focusing tank fire on bane clumps (ideally). And yeah lings muddle things.
Also in the map I can get to lvl 30 (speed banes, stim, no creep). In an actual game many a gaf member can attest that I barely manage a split at all ;_;

there was a thread about it in reddit and he wasnt splitting using normal mouse micro.
he probably do both in the same time.
patrol don't with lings, keep that in mind.
Well I play in bronze league, so most zergs do a-move banelings. Micro is really holding me back sometimes. I worked a lot on my macro, but now I want to focus a bit more on micro aswell.
That's simply stress, you could if you were relaxed. Honestly.
who the fuck puts their tanks on 3.
Tanks/Ghosts on 3 yo

Well, I finally did some 1v1's with an extremely patient rl friend. I was pretty surprised by some of the micro stuff I was doing kind of by instinct, harassing, handling hellion aggression without losing a single drone, etc. But out of 7 games the trend was pretty clear. Every time I try some strategy that's way above what I can actually enforce. I'm trying proxy hatches, baneling drops, and I'm not making drones or even mining more than 1 gas, not spreading creep, hell not even injecting sometimes. Once I realize this, usually after seeing my natural has maybe 4 drones on the mineral line, I revert to some twitchy speedling all in that I know won't work. Months of watching streams is making me try to run when I've never even walked. I guess I'm just gonna have to take my medicine on the ladder if I want to improve.
If you're in bronze micro's not what's holding you back.
I try to keep medivacs on a separate hotkey so they can heal my army when I stutterstep. It's something most don't do and it helps a bit if they are positioned correctly in a fight.
It is if you lose 50 marines to banes. 1a terran vs 1a zerg with banes zerg wins ezpz
Well I did not mean to say it was only micro that was holding me back, sorry if it seemed that way. I just meant to say that I focus a lot on my macro (constantly producing workers, saturating my mineral lines, not getting supply blocked, constantly producing army and if my economy rises making sure to produce more buildings to keep my money low, making sure my upgrades are going).
I mostly just lose cause I'm not paying attention to my army.
And what Hazaro is saying is correct, I mostly lose to zerg cause he goes mass banes and I just dont react and everything dies.
I do the same stupid thing with TvT, running into enemy tanks.
I'm being placed against Plat players so I hope thats any indication I'm improving a bit.
Start stimming a marine forward to know where the Zerg army is, then as I said just stim run and use tanks to focus banes. Make sure your tanks have +1 attack too if possible, helps a ton vs lings.
Too bad he's quitting.
Yeah Stephano can play very smart games with good builds. His army engagement is above average so watch for that.
