So we played 4 games last night, my friend's girlfriend brought her cousin who apparently used to be in the masters. I did a good job of annoying him at the least with my mutas, though the stalkers kept using blink, which was really annoying when I was trying to help my mutas escape. in the end he just got frustrated and hit my base with a huge army of stalkers, he dealt enough to wipe my secondary base, but I was able to stop the force. with more mutas I assaulted again but to my dismay he had even more stalkers and wiped me. mutas are still my favorite, but not sure how well it's used vs. the protoss, especially if they pull those void rays, definitely need to work on the scouting. another situation from last night was a zerg and a terran against my friend and I (double zerg), we ended up getting the same opponents twice. the first time I took mutas and my friend did a roach rush and it worked wonderfully, but the second time I was worried they would be expecting the mutas and so we did a double roach rush. we killed against the terran, but the zerg decided to do a muta build and unfortunately we were unprepared for it. again the scouting would have been great if I'd seen an early lair, need more practice!

So it begins

As an american you don't have too much to look forward to starting an online game, you might do well, but being one of the best? the odds happen to be against you, but each day I plan to strive to be better, my hope is not to get into the master leagues, as I'm not sure I will ever play enough to reach that point, but to get good enough to reach the diamond leagues, that at least I think is within my grasp. My friend Nathan (South Korean but born in U.S.) and I began a few weeks ago playing and have made the bronze league, (lowest possible I think) but I'm not worried, first time for me playing online, and the very first time for my friend playing Starcraft aside from a few practice runs to get the basic idea. we are now rank 22 in the bronze league last I checked though that has most likely dropped since last night, we are currently playing double Zerg on the 2v2's, but not sure if that will stay. Currently I am focusing on improving my build order (the point in which I build buildings/units) and am getting better, I am trying to improve the speed at which I can get out Mutalisks as I thoroughly enjoy harassing the probes with mutas.
