Control: Top of Everything

I am on top of everything. I, Dalton Lewis, am winning a silver league in Starcraft 2. I can lose plenty of games from now on, but that won’t change my first place result. I did it with lots of work, some brilliant strategies, and learning from countless losses. I am finally accomplishing something nice, small, and good. I am proud of myself.

Work is going slowly. Writing is hard. It is slow and difficult. I need to read more. I need to write more. I need to do everything better. I still know that I am winning a silver league and can get better. I am playing better than before. I know that. How?

Several things. I am trying to type and click faster and more accurately. I am trying to destroy my opponent’s expansions. I am raiding with banshees regularly. I am raiding with marines and marauders when that doesn’t work. I am finding my opponent’s third and fourth bases. I know that I can learn and develop. The schizophrenia has dulled that…or has it? I wasn’t a strategy genius during my teens and early twenties. I was super-smart, sure, but I mostly relied on gut. I don’t do that anymore — I try to learn and think actively about what is happening in the game to turn it to my advantage.
