Fuck it. Keep losing interest in games mid way through. I dont have the attention span for this. I love it but fuck, get bored and start alt tabbing 15 minutes in. I blame FPS games. Cant watch movies anymore either, took me like 5 days to watch Avatar

[zombojoe]

I think that may be just a disorder.

Half way into games, I just give up. I know I should expand, I know I should tech up and upgrade, I know I should get infestors and scout better, but I just don't want to. What's up with that? It's odd, I just lose the drive to win.

How the fuck?

I can't concentrate on anything else during the game, and I'm on edge the whole time. I would never alt-tab, because obviously my opponent would choose that exact moment to roll 50 banelings in or something.

I can concentrate for a while, but then my mind starts to wander and I shift tab to look up something or play a new song or something

I'm never on the edge during any video game. I play FPS games with music because otherwise its not as enjoyable.. goes alright in Battlefield games and Starcraft, but in CSS and stuff it screws me over lol

Yeah, it happens, and I lose, and I go, oh well, and close starcraft, come back an hour later lol..

[MuTAnT]

I've recently swapped to playing Zerg for a bit and holy fuck I love infestors. They're like siege tanks I don't have to deploy!

[Gravity Ponds]

Watch Destiny's 4 infestor hit squad plays lol

[Pierrewithahat]

Haven't played in ages cause I'm in bronze league and never really want to play much anymore, I just suck no matter what I try and always get cheesed.

You're french, that explains everything

[Pierrewithahat]

Nah I'm actually Scottish, just the ass backwards internet connection where I work makes facepunch think I'm french.

Think the last game I won was where I done a double stargate Void Ray Rush won two games like that and then went back to losing in spectacular fashion.

[Gravity Ponds]

Just did a 2v2, ZZvsTP
one of the better games I've played, my team mate was good and we had a plan and it went well.
Smiles all around.

This sounds a lot like ADD

Edited:

Something like that should never happen in a game of Starcraft especially if you love it.

Laddering yet again after a long time yet again, THE ADRENALINE, THE FEAR

Edited:

Zerg Terran is best Terran

[Boomersocks]

Today i accidentaly laddered as random and i got zerg vs a master terran. Luckily he stayed on one base for centuries and i managed to hold his first STRONK marine tank push.

I then got to hive tech and got my brood lords, cracklings and infestors so I won fuck yea.

(He was apparently on 1,1 infantry when I got 3,3 which is weird since he had double engi bay forever.)

There are these people who you can pay them to level your account to masters/GM.

I even met one who was under the name DayNine (day9's sc2 name) and he was doing troll builds in silver to wreck his MMR so he could climb to Masters super easy.

Can you do that with anything other than siege tanks?

You could with reapers and colossi but they fixed that.

Dragon tried with archons but he couldn't, so i assume it's only with tanks

Does anyone here stream? Whenever I try to, I get an assload of lag.

I did as well when I tried, I only have 0.6mb upload speed though.

[Crisis01]

With 10 FPS and 1280X720 Resolution, all my timings are about two seconds off.

[zombojoe]

You're not the only one.

If I lag heavily in end game engagements imagine what streaming would be like lol.

[WTF Nuke]

Replay:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8414553/Shak...teau.SC2Replay

I decided how to motivate myself to win: play aggressive zerg. Although this replay isn't really that aggressive, I think I did pretty well. Didn't want to attack him because I was afraid of cannons. Tips and CC welcome. I know I should start spreading creep better by having another queen, and I know I should have started upgrading sooner. I liked the ending a lot because ultras are probably my most loved unit, so if my endgame goal is going to incorporate ultras then I'm happy.

[igamiwarr]

Why is it that when I read user comments on ANY form of Starcraft related media I rage?
For an example of this I will point to the GSTL SlayerS vs FXO page, 90% of comments were calling GOM.tv greedy because they couldn't properly read the fucking yearly ticket explanations, or they were people complaining about Moletrap and Khaldor casting.

Should have learned my lesson back in NASL season 1 with THOSE livestream comments...

What the hell is the point of that? If you are in Masters it is not like you are going to be winning any games if you didn't actually earn your place there. I guess it is to make people feel better and give them something to brag about? If so that is very very sad.

[WTF Nuke]

I thought the idea of naturally progressing through the leagues is to become a better player and be able to actually play. Being in master with horrible MMR is no different from being in bronze/silver.

[titopei]

If I didn't get my dota 2 invite, I would have been playing sc2 for the past few months instead. I bought sc2 on sale and was hoping to play until im in plat. Do well for 4th and 5th season seeing me getting better, then I get a dota 2 invite. Haven't played sc2 since.

Edited:

I even lie to my friends and say that yeah I play sc2 every now and then, I just can't play now when they ask for 2v2's/3v3's

Hahahaha, people who get boosted to high leagues can't play any games, because they'll just lose their MMR's and get demoted. So they either play and get demoted and pay for boosting again, or not play at all, basically wasting 60$ + Boosting Money.

[Gravity Ponds]

I was Zerg, ZvZ, the guy scouts a spawn pool I put down at like 14 "God I hate you fucking rush nubs".. 20 minutes later, "one of the best macro games I've ever played, gg"
Next round he 6pools me.

[Bird]

Once when I 10 pooled and got into a protoss base before he could get a zealot out he accused me of 6pooling. The funny thing is he tried to do a 2 zealot rush, but lost his pylon.

[Kendra]

I love people who flat out die to economic 8 pools on TDA and then insult you.

(econ8 pool is a very valid strat on TDA)

[Lachz0r]

does anyone in diamond league+ want to help me practice for a tournament thats in 15 days ? ? ?

[Crisis01]

I can :D
You play Z right?

[Lachz0r]

yeah :). i was hoping you would want to cause you're in masters :P i'll hok you my NA character name & code.

LachlanSwag.720 is my NA sc stuff
