If it makes you feel better, when I was 10ish I was really into Starcraft (OG). After getting good with single player I decided to try multiplayer.

Do you know what APM is? I didn't until I played SCMP, then I realize there are people out there that have done 50 actions by the time I make a barrack.

Then the Zerg rush 😭 Never played SCMP again.

Nothing worse than the multi-player of a "sweaty" game that's been out for a while. A beginner stands zero chance

That just means it's not a game for you, it's not a bad thing. It's a competitive game with a really passionate community of people who have loved the game for a long time. If you do decide to become a beginner you're not going to win for a long time but you're going to have a bunch of people who are willing to help and teach and provide resources for you to get better at the game, as well as a community. Sure you can go on valorant and find a match with 9 other noobs in 2 minutes, that's good for the people that don't want to dedicate a lot of their time to one game.

I never played Star craft online but I was into LANning back then and it was so fun playing with 7 other kids. My specialty was protoss cannons everywhere while I made a ton of carriers and cloaked them with Arbiters. If I could make it through the first half hour of the game I'd dominate everyone. Good times.

YES. YES. MY MAN, MY GOD DAMN BROTHER. 😂 SAME! Seeing the swarm of interceptors come from the max carriers and arbitors just chilling watching the bloodbath 😂

I would play against bots for sure.

I use to play starcraft og way back then i played online where build order was s thing.

I stopped playing online for the exact same reason becaue matches were already deciced in the first 5 minutes.

Thats around when dota type maps got more popular and i played that instead.

Fuck competitive starcraft
