Cant ever stop enjoying Brood War!Oh for sure it's one of the hardest games to master at a professional level, learning how to scout is difficult then how to properly interpret the information then what strat to actually counter, then there's execution, micro, macro, timings etc. Starcraft has been the longest standing real time strategy game for e sports and made it's rise after brood war was released in Korea. I've only been playing serious for about 3 months and I've progressed from silver to diamond but I'm stuck on the threshold to masters. My principles and macro are down but I need to finely hone my scouting and practice against early aggression before I can hope to move forward.
For those that don't know Starcraft is considered a professional game where people stream games live and tournaments are common in the us and Korea. Mlg Columbus just concluded and had a 25000 dollar first prize and 60k total over a 3 day period. Gsl is going to start in a month in Korea and MLg NYC starts on 420
I'd play against your brother, if he hasn't played in a bit I would probably win cause he's rusty but he sounds like masters level to me. As for doing a lesson I play Zerg i don't know your race but I have friends at my level of all races I can play against and you could watch from spectator view. If you have never played 1v1 before just getting down your basic build orders and fundamentals will be your priority, until those are down pat you can't really move forward because a lot of the in depth strategy is lost on players until they reach platinum. There's tons of YouTube instructionals, if you play Zerg like me watch idra, destiny, drg and catz. If Terran I recommend MLg Columbus winner marine king prime or empire.kas if your Protoss you can't go wrong with whitera incontrol or grubby
