Hi, im just starting to play this game. and i placed in bronze after only won 1 of 5 placements matches. i won my first game against no 1 league leader (bronze) but since then, i lost all my games. about 6 of them.

i varied my tactics after each match. but my opponent also not the same. so its quite troublesome. now im feeling like quitting playing 1v1 and start playing 2v2. but i have no friends palying sc2. so i went to custom to play 2v2.. also noone enter the room. matcmaking also didnt work. so im stuck playing 1v1 but i sucked a lot. and i hate the intense of it and kept losing.

so im looking for any player who could train me and show me what i could have done wrong coz i love this game.

name is NiZoRa, 423 and im playing zerg. i would much appreciate to those who can lend a hand. thanks.

also i have several of ladder match replay if some of u guys would like to point out.

whats ur character code?

character code is 423

just train infestors, u can shoot ur way up to gold-plat, infestors OP

I was like u Nizora when i started sc2 and i keep on losing in 1v1, then i play 2v2 but now since i practice more 1v1 lately, u will get the used to 1v1 in no time.

Practice makes perfect and dun be afraid to lose.

rmb how u lose n improvise from there
js go for random team games when feel too stress...

dun think of those gimmicky strats.

start with 14 gas 14 pool and mass speedling roaches. can bring you very far already while learning how to play better.

play better =
smoother execution
btr larvae inject
btr economy control
btr drone count
btr micro
btr map awareness
btr scouting info....

by sticking to 1 strat and continuously playing it, you can slowly improve.

all right maybe i can start from there. thanks guys.. though if u guys have time. lets play together. some unknown people cant really show me what iv done wrong. lol.

Lastly, do visit channel "nerdlings" when u are on bnet.

i did. but it seems no one even chat there. :/ just chatting to myself.

Haha .. i see. Dun worry. Soon there will b ppl chatting with u

just go play 4v4 till u get the hang of it?
watch tutorial online?

i was on a 40+ losing streak before knowing how to play that game xD

omg u shudnt lose as a zerg! they are the most OP units.

a little tips to u, zerg cant play defensive, since they cant wall off. zergs must go aggressive and offensive, dun worry about losing units u can spawn 7 ultralisk at once. i suggest u to play early ling/roach rush u will be surprise how useful is that.

I would really like to lend you a hand but I sucked at using zerg. Let me know if you like to practice against terran though. I might be able to show you some counters to some popular terran openings / strategies at the level you're playing at.

Btw I really like your opening post. It shows your passion towards the game and willingness to learn this game. Much better than those one liner "please teach me how to win".

Some tips: you're having a SEA account right? You can have access to north american server. There are tonnes more people who play custom games there, whether it's 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 or even FFA. The latency is higher but shouldn't be too huge a problem.

i always played custom 3v3 at arakan citadel when im bored and thats all coz other custom games have nobody joining. so arakan citadel over and over again. i tried 4v4 but no players found. no luck maybe.

about the tutorial, i did sometimes watch them but i tend to watch pro games replay coz they are epic. eg of zerg pro that im kinda like are spanishiwa which is youger than me. and also idra + destiny.

Added on August 11, 2011, 3:23 pmi do play aggresive. but guess what. these bronze players turtled like hell. im also bronze but i didnt put like 6 spinecrawlers at my base. no replay of pro gamers ive seen doing that unless its their expo.

Added on August 11, 2011, 3:28 pmthanks. might learn one or two to defend against terran. do add me. i always lost to terran with early tanks + marauders. my roaches died like super fast. drops act dont bother me much.
against zerg, muta rush is so disturbing. no other probs.
only played and lost once against protoss which there void rushed me with 6-7 void rays. didnt scout, so my hydra didnt came soon enough.

ill try play NA somewhere in the future. for now i juz wanna train and play.

I wish i could help u on zerg but i nvr played zerg in my life not even during my BW days.

Yeah i also like your first post

Why dont u post replay here or simply write out what problem you face. Tons of pro here will be glad to guide you on how to countering.

Bout that terran turtling, put 1-2 ling somewhere outside his base to know when he move out and if he expand.

Focus on injecting larva and drone up. When u see him move out, see his army composition and makes counter instantly. Or just bunch of lings and banelings.

If he expand, sent 30 lings to welcome his appetite. If he defended or lost his expo, retreat and expand.

For me i think zerg is imba cause if u held and drone up in that first 5 minutes, you are way ahead in econ.

just my 2 cents from a silver terran

if 1v1 is ur focus, play as much as u can, do what make sense, stop doing what doesnt.
when u're not playing, contemplate what u could've done in ur previous games.
when u're playing, try to remember stuffs, the more u play, the stuffs that u remember to do become more of reactionary like some sort of auto reflex done by ur unconscious mind so that u have much more space for ur conscious mind to think logically to react in some situation ^^

And if u still lose like our female badminton player Lydia Cheah always do, can consider playing maple story.

press find match button~ it is ur best practise partner
