Ive had a few months of hardly playing starcraft I managed to get myself up to silver before my break. Recently Ive played some 1v1 games and to put it plainly Ive sucked. Its probably a combination of three things firstly I probably remember myself better than I was, secondly lack of practice = laps in skill, thirdly people are just getting better more guides etc out there to learn from TGM on this site is example of that.

The question is what is the best way to get back into playing after a break? Im going to the US for a month I expect still be in this situation at the end of October. I played a few games in campaign to try to gauge my skills vs when I started playing and skills now far greater than then. A few things Ive been thinking about is playing custom map to get my macro back up to pace with my game sense (silver league quality shouldnt take too long). Playing team games to improve my general builds and macro (of cause the builds would be different but practice is practice). The third solution which I feel is the least motivating is to suck it up and take my losses and get my skills back from just doing.

What are your thoughts what is the path back into playing more after a break for myself and others who are in my position.
