What really sucks for me is that I keep watching all these replays, and I understand exactly what's going on and how you counter everything your opponent throws at you. Then I go play a game, and hey! - I still suck :|

I just don't get it...

Thanks to this video, I've stopped losing against Terran so much and my game has improved loads, now being promoted to Platinum league! Thanks day9 for using my replay for this Daily!

@elad135 What has really helped me get better:

1) Use a game timer (to get gauge urself)

2) Take notes on these replays: what you see at what times (scouting, [counter]teching,droning,army production,attacking,etc.)

3) Compare these notes to your play (as D9 said, Be critical so you can always improve)

4) Continuously be doing useful things (build and attack at same time) 4a) Hot-key key buildings so you can do this ^

5) Learn the mainstream opening builds for ur race

just a start...

@elad135 u need a friend to come sit with u while ur playing and comment. If u understand the mechanics and still have problems u just need somebody to help u see what u can't during the game.

@elad135 I know how you feel, that's how I was for the longest time. Just keep playing, practicing, and getting experience. Eventually it'll click. Try new things too.

I feel this game is rigged....if you get placed in PLAT and you lose all the time, you will never get kicked out of PLAT. If your placed in Bronze, not matter how much you win, you will never get out of bronze.....wtf.

@Bububaps thats called shoutcasting when its just regular live commentary, this is full game analysis to improve.

also all the IRL stuff in the dailies is fun ^^ day[9] is a swell guy

[mvsaratssj4]

talk talk talk talk.....don't you get bored talking all time!

[Bububaps]

Day9, you're a great commentator, and I love your videos BUT, no offence, I'm here to watch starcraft, not your life story. Please don't make a 15 minute video 30 minutes with all these pointless details about your life. Yes, you're trying to reach out to the community, you do that but you really drone on with some pointless stuff. I don't know how it works in your country but in mine you don't watch sports and have the commentator at the start telling us how their day went. Thanks for your vids

@gtandjosh according to the producers and thus master minds of starcraft, you are supposed to have 3 (three) scv's per mined area, ie: 3 per mineral field and 3 per refinery.
