Replays

So, not gonna lie. Earlier today I was feeling really really really bummed about how craptacular I played last night and well earlier today because I lost! QQ Losing is definitely not my strongest spot at all! So I had a little pity party, here I lost in sc2 even though I thought I was doing great and I've been feeling ridiculously sick as well. Then the little bookmark where I have the Star Nation trailer on my bookmark caught my eye. So I listened to the genius that is White-Ra and figured to hell with it I'm going to watch the replay and figure out what I did wrong. And to be honest, it wasn't so much what I did wrong because I really did pretty good. The truth was that my poor booty was going to get rushed by the other player (Who happened to be Kitty, but she's still awesome :D ). 


My timings were pretty much okay (there's always going to be room for improvement) and I was getting upgrades. What I learned is that I let myself become supply blocked which is definitely not good but i can work on it! So yeah even though I didn't win the match, I still can see where I've learned a lot from the time that I first started playing. I also see it as the fact that hey I DID learn something and maybe that'll make me better and maybe it won't. But at least I learned my own failures and shortcomings on this.


So thank you Mr.Aleksey "White-Ra" Krupnyk for being awesome! And for inspiring me. There are so many amazing players in SC2 but for me watching white-ra playand his interaction with people is so amazing that he makes me want to strive to be that kind of person. Who is always looking what I can do better not only in game play but in my life and being so mannered about things as he does them. Well that's my fan girl moment for the day. <3 white-ra! 

More StarCraft 2, Kitty, 4v4 and yay... Bronze!!!!

Well since my last post wasn't the most incredible thing ever I'll let you know what I've been up to the last week. Well as many people are also in the twitter universe, I must say that I have met some incredible people there. One of my friends there is Kitty and we've known each other for a little bit. She's pretty awesome and is completely in love with Day[9]. In fact her and her friend Izzak were chosen for Funday Monday Episode 381. She was beyond belief thrilled. From there she invited me to play a game with her and her friend Izzak. 

Now I am a horrible player for those wondering, my timings are off, I struggle with hot keys and control groups. But the important thing is that I keep trying and playing regardless of how bad I really am and of course having fun! So we decided to do placement games into 4v4 and you guessed it we placed BRONZE! Okay now some people probably don't think that's great but everyone starts somewhere. Also it helped eliminating some of the fears I had of laddering. Do I plan on doing 1v1's not quite yet, I definitely want to get the idea of hot keys and control groups down a little more before I attempts that.

If anyone out there is playing and is freaked out about laddering I would definitely say trying 3v3 or 4v4 is great! It definitely helps you get an idea of what a game is like but the fact that you have other people there helps reduce the anxiety level. Personally, I'm super hard on myself and I want to be great at everything right away. But of course I must quote one of my all time favorite players... White-Ra more gg, more skill. And actually one of my favorite things to watch when I'm feeling kind of down is White-Ra for Star Nation MLG Anaheim. Also on a side note the band playing in the background is Mother Falcon and they are such an amazing group that i had the chance to meet at FunFunFun Fest last year. Definitely check them out. I guess that's really all for now. Thanks for reading ^.^
