Hey guys!

I've been keeping up with what I said and for the most part played some games pretty frequently.

Sadly my MMR is so low that I'm getting placed against high level silver players :/

but never the less I feel like I'm making some progress!
for those of you who don't know MMR is the match making algorithm that the computer uses to place you against players around your level. From what I know it is highly unstable the more matches you win. Meaning, it doesn't really know where to place you...

So I guess this is good news? ha ha

for the most part I've been working on my mechanics, I'm trying to not let my chronoboost get too high (use it as soon as I can) and constantly make probes.

From what I've seen there are really 3 time periods you should expo (make expansions) at the 7:00, then 11 or 12 min mark. This of course relies on if you feel safe doing so, I've been rushed so many times trying to take an expansion that its just aggravates me.

Let me explain this last part more clearly, in Starcraft 2 resources that you use to make units/ buildings are limited. You have to eventually make new bases and mine them in order to fuel your war. a lot of times lesser players or players or want to end the game quickly do what they can to mass units up quickly and rush over to destroy your base.

If the attack fails, their pretty much screwed the rest of the game, if it works obviously they'll win the game. It's been really hard for me to be a good sport about this because I feel like it takes no skill and shows that the people doing this is a lesser player....

although I guess if I was a better player I would be able to scout around and tell that something like this is heading my way.

Just something else to keep in mind as I play, alright take care guys takes for reading!
