Introduction

I'm not a great Starcraft 2 player, I'm not even good or decent, I'm actually quite bad. But that is why I want to share this, share how I might develop into a better player. For now this will mainly be about Starcraft 2 but as the title hints I tend to write a little about other Blizzard games. I do play World of Warcraft too but has put it on ice until the next expansion and I now focus exclusively on Starcraft 2.

Starcraft 2

I've recently done my placement matches and of course I ended up in Bronze league, I play pretty odd hours as I live in East-Asia but play on European servers so I'm rarely online for the busiest hours, this means I will usually play versus other players who are online at those hours. I try to play some 2v2 and 3v3 with some friends at home too but together we are even weaker than we are alone, actually my 2v2 team can't even get a placement, I think the system is bugged.

I try to do most things in Starcraft 2 and I enjoy it; I play quick matches alone and with friends, I play the campaign, I play custom maps and I even try to make custom maps, and I will try to write a little about all of these things.

World of Warcraft

I have 10 characters on Shattered hand alliance EU server, six of them are between level 5 and 30, two are just above 70, one is 79 and my current main is a 80 human paladin. I like most aspects of the game except end game raiding, while the concept of being the best in the world is appealing I find it too time consuming. My World of Warcraft account is currently frozen, mostly because I ran out of material to get without raiding and PVP got boring.

Loss + win

So I tried out my new delayed reaper tactic on a 1v1 last night, it failed miserably! I attacked with 5-7 reapers and they got smashed by my opponents mass marines, who as soon as my troops had died retaliated and took my base down in a matter of minutes.

Second match I gave up on the reaper idea and went for marines and marauders. But just I had my first two soldiers out I was attacked by a bunch of marines, and they kept on coming without any delay. I soon found two enemy barracks in my base and fortunately I had three of my own and one with tech-lab and one with reactor, so I soon overpowered the opponents cheese and quickly countered. Of course he had spent all his resources on that early attack so I won this match in pretty much the same way I lost the first one.

This is still no development on my part but at least I learnt to scout my own base more carefully.
