Starcraft 2, Day 2

On my second day of Starcraft 2, my friend Phorisc wanted to play with me so I started by playing a 2v2 where we placed into Diamond. Then we played some 3v3s with Bothari and after that I played my 1v1 matches for the day. Sadly, my stream stopped working somewhere in the middle of the 3v3 matches so my triumphant victory while playing terran (my worst race) was not recorded and I can't share it with you. Instead, I have to share the placement match with Phorisc on my team. I also helped Phorisc set up his stream by pointing him at my Streaming Tutorial.

Starcraft 2 Journey from Bronze Day 1

It has been a long time since I've played Starcraft 2 regularly and I decided I should give it a shot again. Last season my 1v1 was primarily just worker rushes to farm portraits. I didn't really get all that many, but I did manage to get my league down from gold that I placed into to bronze. As a result, my placement for Season 2 is also bronze (after 1 match).

Today I started my 1v1 journey on the ladder. I played a handful of matches, and to my surprise, I'm bad enough to actually lose to bronze players. I really feel like I need to get better at the basics of the game, like macro, micro and understanding the flow of the game first before I worry about strategy. I'm playing random because I feel like I should get to know all of the races and how they play, even though I feel like zerg is my strongest race (and favorite to play). Hopefully I discover some useful things over the next little while as I continue to try to play a few games a day (casually like a normal person) and be able to move up to at least Platinum if not Diamond.

If you have any suggestions for what strategy I should use as I attempt to improve in Starcraft, feel free to leave a reply here or on my facebook wall (or twitter @cordoro1). I do plan to stream the whole thing.
