You won't get rid of the -EV until you truly want to.

Ive got it, only have found time for 1 game though. wish I had a better computer.. I thought mine was decent, but starcraft II owns it, have to turn down the settings to ugly to get it to run smooth.

all you have to do is preorder the game.
You can do this online, but I recommend going to a gamestop where they will print a beta key directly on your reciept. If you do it online you have to wait for an email (supposed to take 24hrs, but some people have waited over a week.)

You can also opt-in for the beta at blizzard.com, for a small chance that they'll want to test it further on your hardware. Unlikely you'll get picked, but doesn't cost $$$.

I've played a few times. I used to play a 1500 in the old Vanilla days. Now I'm a "copper" level gamer... I have fallen far.

The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

Finally won a game. Then 2 and 3 back to back, but now I've been balancing wins against losses. Terrans are a real bitch for 'toss... and I used to be a zerg only guy, but... now... I'd rather poke myself in the eye.
for the toss, I absolutely love the fact that you can micro some crazy stuff! In one of my more impressive losses, I ledgeblink harassed with a bunch of stalkers on some supply lines.
It stinks though, if I don't win early, I don't win. I need get into the mid-game a little bit faster. I also need to learn to use mid-game units... like void stalkers and their ilk.

Yeah, the late game is realy hard for me. This game makes it so you really don't ahve to expand early if you don't want to...but if you don't well, you pay the price.
edmund.edmund if anyone wants to play. Just say you're from FTR.
gold 1v1, gold 2v2
I've only had the game a week though. Gotta get better!

I really really dont agree. I find that people are often expanding WAY too soon. But ya, I was teching way too fast and that was my problem with my early game. I think a lot of people make this mistake.
Id def be down for some games though, I really need to work on my tvz

Well, you have a sign in and a username.
So I assume yours is ClaytnBigsby.ClaytnBigsby ? Because if not, I won't be able to find you.
You go to the thing at the bototm right, and type in SC friend edmund.edmund. When I log in later tonight, I'll accept and it will tell me when you're online or not. Then we can figure out what we want to play.
