@JP: You sure did... for now. :P

@Forsakn: Cool, thanks.

@Spartaz: I can't seem to grasp Zerg mechanics like spreading creep, spitting larva, spreading overlords and macro-ing my base properly. But on the other hand, I played Protoss a while back so I know basically what they can do... VERY basically...

[EveJeonSa]

maybe you need to focus on one race and strategy, dont hate a game that's supposed to make you happy

[CagnacciKid]

@derpy: I have been focussing on Terran for the past month or two, and a little more recently, straight-up MMM, but it seems I can only win if I pull off a flawless opening, and even then I struggle in TvT.

Also, my build order was taken from Liquipedia, so I can't blame that.

Or just build Marines

Ironically, I decided to switch to Protoss for a while, see if I prefer them to Terran. I played a few custom games to refresh myself on their mechanics but when I clicked Find Ladder Match I didn't realise I still had Terran selected as my ladder race.

So I went into TvT (previously my worst match-up) and thought "Screw it, I just want this match to end, I'll pump Marines from 4 Barracks, 3 with Reactor and 1 with Tech Lab, and see how I go."

Well, I won. He went MMM, but I just kept the pressure on him until he couldn't keep up. I managed to delay his natural expo so I think that was a major advantage.

I'm still playing Toss for a bit, though.

The key to enjoying SC2 with Terran is making the Terran death ball of MMMVG. You will never lose this way.

Lost three times in a row, first to Zerglings, then mass Mutas, then a DT drop. All from Bronze players with < 100 games under their belts.

In the first two I tried to macro and got beat down. The 'Ling player had a 13-14 pool, and just sent waves of Zerglings at me. The Muta player was on one base when I was on two and I still lost, even after pushing his base twice with 2 Immortals and 8-ish Stalkers each time. In the final match my macro did squat as he just killed all my workers and took out my main Nexus and most of my Pylons before I was able to get out some cannons.

Seems to me that I need more than freakin' macro to get out of Bronze!

Actually all I did from like rank 20 to rank 5 in Bronze league was to mmball/mmm lol. It's so cheat X_X What's your current build order? I only follow one strictly up to when I get my Orbital Command at 15 food. After that I more or less wing it as Terran.

[CagnacciKid]

After playing about 4 hours of Protoss I'm really disliking it. Their high unit costs, long build times and small-ish armies just aren't my style. I'm going back to Terran.

@Fors: Before, when I played Terran, I was trying to do an MMM build but kinda winging it. In my brief stint as Toss I tried to 3 Gate Robo with mixed results. Now I'm back to Terran, and sources say that 3 Rax MM Ball is the way to go, transitioning into MMM if I don't win outright.

By the way, up for a match?

[Makra]

Yeah, just 3 rax every game. When I was in bronze I hit a wall for a while, until I discovered a good 3 rax timing push, and doing that really helped me move up. I suspect you may be losing simply because you don't have confidence with your build and when to attack. In bronze not many players would be able to hold off a 7-8 minute well executed 3 rax stim push no matter what their race. Just make sure to scout them to know which attachments to use. E.g. TvP, you may think you can just get two techlabs one reactor to pump mostly marauders, but then you get hit with a few void rays. :/

I was bathing my dogs this morning... lol

Post replays if you're looking for feedback.

[CagnacciKid]

Nah, this thread's pretty dead and out-of-date anyway, heh.

[cure]

You could post your replays in the strategy & improvement forum. There's bound to be people there that would help you with your play. Eg, Benji.

[stimCocain]

yeap , you have cancer for sc2 alright.

[SkyBreaker]

Even though I'm a bit late to the thread, I'm still going to add my little input, haha! Don't give up on SCII, just look at it from a different mind-set; for instance - don't preoccupy yourself with how important winning is; and how detrimental losing is, don't bother yourself with the thought of potential promotion or how long it may take you to reach diamond/masters.

Try to just focus on having fun and improving with every game you play (win or lose) and trust me you'll have a much more fun time than if you let the aforementioned factors plague your mind before, during and after every game

[Kringe]

all i did from bronze to gold was firstly cheese then another one is make 200/200 blink stalker armies and just focus on macro it may seem cheap but it can work because they wont have the macro to keep making armies when u can just warp in an armie in seconds
