It's Still Fun

I've played Fafner in the last two days, five games in all. In one, he spanked my ass all around the map. I'm feeling the improvement on his part. Before the games, I remind myself to experiment with spam, but it's difficult keeping it up for long. We have great games and I believe we will strengthen each other.

In the first couple of games, I see he gets many more minerals than I. He also loves to storm my workers. My gameplay had to adapt and I tried to use the map to my advantage.

Where do I go from here? I think I've reached the level I wanted in preparation for starcraft 2. I can actually enjoy the game and slowly get faster and better after each match. It's quite simple to calm down for the sake of learning and experimenting. I'm not even halfway with my mass TvZ (50) games.

Lately, each game (TvZ) I've won felt on the brink of a loss. I dislike that feeling. So:

1. Work on spamming, make changes where necessary, keep it up. My avg. apm is 150 (TvZ) but around 130 when losing.

2. Against zerg, atttack ASAP. I rarely go for a second expansion -spending all my money is already difficult enough, but I should work on it if the zerg tries too. I could always queue many tanks just so minerals go out faster.

Lastly, given the choice of D+ rank or beating FafnerX 4/5 games, I'd choose the LATTER! It's all good ;-)

Ohooooo, I've looked at BWChart, and see the first game between Fafner and I. One can't help but smile at his 64 apm, followed by 79 in the rematch... and to think that was just in January. Map: Othello, the same map in our last 5 matches. Me: Impaired. FafnerX: Knows not WTF to do. I will save that replay for the rest of my life.

TomPhoenix, I may have to play one handed against you.
