Hello All
As I sit here freezing my ass off i stumbled upon some old replays on one of my hardrives from my first month in Starcraft 2. I picked up starcraft having little RTS experience the only real RTS i remember playing is Age Of Empires. So i went into this quite blind the only reason i got Starcraft 2 was after being awe stuck by a review done by Good Game. Being only 12 at the time of release I had to beg for a solid month to get this game and after finally picking the game up i remember the pure joy I felt tearing open the box, Reading every line of the Manuel while it installed and when the game was finally ready to play i was shaking with excitement. I was not disappointed what so ever I started with the campaign as I had never really played any games online and I was in pure awe I loved every moment of it. Than came the time were i finally dared to take on the online world, being only 12 at the time I skipped the practice league with the thoughts that I would be an unstoppable force that no one would have a chance at beating..... Oh how wrong I was 4 six pools and a mass zealot push landed me and my terran skills in bronze. I constantly changed races back than with the mentality that if someone beat me id do exactly what they did until it failed. I cant remember why but I finally settled on zerg and that's when I showed some sign of improvement. This is were the majority of the replays came from it was almost painful for me too watch 5 ZvZ's in a row where I would never get speed, Every ZvP/T was a one base muta rush (Even for bronze I have no idea how this worked) and finally I remember my other ZvX build was a three base hydra push which i think I got from IdrA or something and this got me too the top of my bronze ladder several times but never got me that promotion I wanted so bad. After this I left the game for some time ever now and than I would pick it up but only for a short span of time. Than at the start of this year I for some odd reason felt a strong urge to play Starcraft 2 and this is were everything changed for me. I discovered that you could make a living from this game and that their was a huge community built around this game it cast a whole new light on starcraft. I once again started in bronze but with constant practice and frequently viewing VODS I managed to get out of the bronze league. It was a good night too all I can remember is winning a ZvZ and seeing that gleaming message pop up it was an amazing feeling I made sure to bolt out into the lounge room and inform my family it was really stupid I know but it felt amazing to work really hard on something and see it come together. From their I discovered I could actually go on the NA sever which was another amazing moment even back than I was a huge noob. The last couple of months have been amazing, after starting a new account (Ungrateful siblings FTW) I made it into diamond SEA and plat NA ( I never go on NA except for playhem dailies the community their is absolute shit ). I'm looking forward too competing in my local WCS qualifier in about a month and also too see what the future brings. This game is amazing and the SEA community is by far the best i recommend this game too everyone I know that PC games because of how life changing it is. Thanks everyone for reading i look forward to hearing about other peoples experience with this amazing game
