Hi Diamond/Platinum players..

Just wanna interview a lil bit on how u guys can become such a good player..

1) Have u guys played SC1/BW before?

2) When did u guys started to play SC2? Since the Beta release?

3) How many hours you play SC2 per day averagely?

And pls share with us all tips on becoming a good SC2 player..

Step 1. Cheese your way to Diamond
Step 2. Don't play league so you can keep the diamond.

The good way : keep playing, learning new build, and when you lose a match, rewatch the replay and check where you did wrong, fix the mistake and play the next match, and keep doing so until you're Diamond.

The cheap way : Play Terran and fukken MMM it!

Does not always work when in team games or if the other opponents do a tech rush.

1) Have u guys played SC1/BW before?
no

2) When did u guys started to play SC2? Since the Beta release?
no

3) How many hours you play SC2 per day averagely?
about 8? hmmm from I wakeup till I sleep

anyway ...practice is what I do ....micro practice macro practice .....and watch whole lot of commentaries video. Lastly, watch on ur replay to see what your mistake : )

Aside from watching matches which I lost, I also watch matches which I win, catch the details which you might improve even tho you win, and take notice opponent's mistakes and behavior.

Of course watch hi rank matches too.

1) No

2) 1 Month Ago

3) 3 hours per day (Sem Exam now)

4) Learn how to watch a replay instead of watching as if it is a movie.

1) Have u guys played SC1/BW before?
Played the campaign only, was a CnC/ RA series fan over SC

2) When did u guys started to play SC2? Since the Beta release?
Beta phase 1 test

3) How many hours you play SC2 per day averagely?
1-2 hours maybe?

i learn a lot from day9daily >.<

1) No

2) End of phase 1

3) Only play less than 5 matches a day (not as crazy as shinji)

Watch replays of the games that I've lost.

i stuck at rank 21 bronze
win a few time also didnt go to silver haha

1) yes, hardcored it in fact

2)got a beta key near the end of the beta

3) 2 - 3 hours

4) go to teamliquid and learn

1) yes

2) late phase 1 beta

3) weekdays 5ish hours weekends until exhaustion

tips: keep playing. learn from your mistakes, improve yourself (be it physical finger/hand reflexes, thinking/thought process reflexes), diversify your strategy, and improve your micro/macro. replays of your own mistakes is fine and all, but try to reach to a point where you can KNOW what went wrong without the replay. that way, you save that replay time, and can use it to play more games, get more experience etc.

For the ppl who didn't play sc1 and sc2 beta..
And manage to join the diamond/platinum league, u guys sure have natural talent..

Never follow this, you will never improve

some people does some things better than others naturally. while the rest have to work hard for it. kore ga jin sei da. (that is life) wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

>My face when I'm in Platinum due to 3 of my 5 placement matches were scrubs

I wasn't being serious

But it seems to be the trend thats going on these days. So dissapointingly hard to find a proper game where someone doesn't cheese.

Diz thread is a spotlight threads for diamond players,

However I do agree that their advice are for you to improve yourself

I find it better if you practice in a game with a referee who can point out ur mistakes~ coz sometimes when I play, I get so caught up with my own macro that I didn't notice things

i dun cheese =(

When i was in silver league, i cheese alot using the banel bust..
but now in gold league, cannot use that tactic already..
