So, I've been failing pretty bad at SC2 since last Friday (Jan. 21st) I just can not win a PvP match on that game any more. I keep getting matched with Diamond league players, but I'm only Bronze. Does your league make any difference when pairing you up against other players? I'll take some tips if your willing, but I'm seriously considering uninstalling this game after I finish the campaign.
 
whats your account name - it is highly unlikely bronze will ever play against diamond unless it's a custom game
 
Hi Elhanan,

Thanks for posting.

Yes, your league makes a difference. Ideally, you should be placed around players similar to your skill level, which for you would mostly be Bronze and Silver players. It's a little weird that it's matching you up against Diamond as that's the second best group, but it might be trying to promote you, too, and demote the other player (Silver vs. Platinum isn't that much of a stretch).

We definitely have some very talented players in the group. I'm fairly good at teaching macro for all races, and I feel I have a relatively solid grasp on how it's all supposed to play out. I say "supposed" because I'm not the best player, but I have pretty decent predictions on what will happen in a match, and keep relatively good timing of what's going on.

Anyway, I can help you in two ways. You can either post your replays here and we can analyze them. Or, I can meet you sometime in game and on VoIP and discuss gameplay and such with you. I feel I also can help focus on more important aspects of the game that should hep you progress over time.
 
What's your character code? Click on add friend and it should be displayed there at the top right hand corner of the box.
 
765 - I'll be back on later this weekend. I still need to get setup on one of CGA's VoIPs unless you got Skype. Is their a time that is best for you? Mine are a little touch and go b/c I watch my 4 month old son during the day and he keeps me pretty busy. :)
 
I use Skype and Teamspeak. I'll be out of town most of tomorrow, but will return in the evening. My schedule is also a little weird - I don't have a 4 month old son :p but I do happen to do random stuff during the day.

Oh, and I'll be leaving on a road trip on Monday, which will put me out of town again; this time for about a week and a half. I'll be available most of the day Sunday. :)

All right, maybe something is wrong here, very wrong.
You can see at the loading screen, who is favored.

Now, you need to have a proper strategy. In most 1v1 games you will almost 100% of the time get rushed. Either turtle, or counter rush. Whoever wins the first fight will almost defs win the game. So counter rush or turtle + army and wait for it to hit. Otherwise...

However for a beginner I think what will help most is at the end of the game, to observe your enemy's build order, if they are of the same race, and build up your own strategy. Are you overinvesting in economy? Do you pwn at first but then phail later? What is your problem? How do you lose? Do you run out of minerals or vespene? Do you lose with more than enough resources? Or maybe you're just not building supply fast enough? Or like me, your problem is lack of micro?

If its 1v1, can't really help ya there, don't do it anymore as it's boring and repetitive.
