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.

More zerg

So I tried to play zerg in 1v1 instead last night. To begin with I wasn't entirely sober so that might have come into play but probably not by much. The problem I faced was that I'm not really clear on how to counter everything or even how to prepare for most stuff. One round I was attacked pretty early on by three banshees and I only had two queens who could shoot air, safe to say they died rather quickly. Should I set up a spore colonly or two early on to prevent this or is it better to just try and get out some hydras or mutas?

I did win one game out of the three or four I played and that was rather satisfying as that player was actually in silver league. I actually do tend to meet several players from silver and win those just as much (or little) as I win the bronze leauge opponents, maybe the differences are quite subtle.
