LOL shut up jos... you just wanted to tell everyone you're B+. I know your dirty windmill ways.
In any case, the coolest thing in the guide that I saw was about macroing instead of watching your battles; It's the one thing that I always forget to do after I quit and come back, and it's so fucking important. |

I suppose this is just an elaborate “You can do it” message, but it’s true! Mechanics in StarCraft, at their very fundamentals, are very simple. We can all play quickly and accurately, you may just sometimes need to be reminded that you can.

This thread was mentioned in another and I just read it for the first time but it helped me sooo much. I need to bump this (even though it says old post). There is too much to learn from this, to all the people asking about, "what should I do when they do this" Whats a good build for this...These are all questions about trying to improve, I believe this thread is awesome and should be re-read by many.(Lots of the people in this thread have over 1k posts, time to let the newer guys read it) If you guys truly want to improve this is definatly the thread to start at! |

| Something I would like to add that have helped me a bit, when u watch a replay, for example zvp. and ur a zerg player, try to vision only the Zerg player so that you see exactly what is going on. u dont have to watch both sides, just the one that interests you and that helps you see exactly what mistakes are made and how u could do something better. |

Great article. I was looking for concrete advice on how to improve and stumbled upon this thread. I've had trouble lately with winning games on ICCUP and once I managed to correct the misstakes I've been doing and win some games in that matchup I lose 10 games to another matchup at a certain map. But slowly and surely I've upped my play in a few weeks by alot and seeing this thread mention some of the methods I've been using is a great reassurence.
To actually get a good players assurance of what you're doing is right (aswell as the results in games and the feeling of having gained insight) is worth so much in this game since you often times get despaired about how you can't cope with some situations in the game.
I much appreciated the fact that this thread was very specific and I hope to further improve by using some of the methods mentioned here. Analysing pro games with the right mindset is something I've been unsure of (seing as it takes alot of time away from playing) and have had trouble with. But with this thread and how it phrased the connection between analysing and executing I've gotten motivated to actually go watch vods.
I really like when good players give concrete advice on how to improve (in a matchup or in general) since then you know it's true and can focus on acheiving that goal. This thread along with Nonys explanation of "Hungry toss" play have helped me reach another level in my PvZ games. I can now safely get into the mid game and be in a commanding position which feel great compared to when I used to get contained/overrrun without understanding why and having the confidence to deal with it.
Again, kodus for making such an informative thread. You rock! |

each victory is but a lesson for the defeated... winning does little to improve ones skills it merely serves to bolster confidence. |

| This is a very good guide. Exceptionally motivational, and very deep as well. I find it very enlightening. |
