Quote:The ladder system is pretty good at finding you a good match for the most part. The beginner's maps don't really help very much because the rocks make it a completely different game, (strong terran bias typically) You'd probably benefit more by playing vs the computer which is actually a bit challenging on hard/very hard mode for a beginner and might be stronger than some players you'll come across.

Also, I would check out the single player challenges, very useful in teaching new players too. Those will help out new players much more than the practice league as it'll show them situations that will happen in your typical game.

Oh I'm not a new player. Although it has been a good 6+ years since I had played a match of Starcraft prior to this. Played a ton of Warcraft 3 in the midterm.

Good to hear that the matchmaking seems to be strong. I've not finished my initial 5 games to become ranked yet. Mostly been working through the campaign and playing around with some of the achievements. I started going through the campaign doing all the "hard mode" achievements but was disappointed when it got to the point that many of them couldn't be done unless you had unlocked later tiers of the research trees (Safe Haven I'm looking at you). For the life of me I cannot get the gold for the initial Zerg survival mission, best I've done is 15 lost units. The other races were easy. Pretty sure if I re-did the Terran over again I could get 4 or less lost units.
