How to get to out of 1200 elo if you're stuck.

Okay, so I've seen a few people talking about how hard this is. I'm no pro by any means but these are some tips I picked up when I started which helped me learn quickly.

​

1. Learn a build order and perfect it. Hera has some great videos in his zero to 2k youtube series, another great player to learn from on YouTube is TaToh. I'd avoid SpiritOfTheLaw etc. unless you want to know the math behind the builds. After you have one down you can learn more but it's good to start with one over learning ten at the same time.

2. When you lose think about why and try to rectify that for next game. Were you open on one side
   and didn't protect it? was your army out of position? Should you have made a castle on that hill?
   Did you keep making archers when they were full skirms? Was there an easy opportunity to wall
   and you didn't take it? Did you scout your opponent too late? Etc. Etc. It's a really great habit to
   get into and will help you go up the ranks very quickly

3. Find someone your elo who is willing to do 1v1's with you and I mean like 5+ in a row regardless
   of who wins. Then repeat that as many times a day you can. (If they are slightly better than you
   to begin with it is better: this gave me my biggest elo jump of 200
   points in under a week).

​

If any of you are 1500+ and are looking for someone to practice with, I'd be up for getting better too. Drop me a message.

Have a great Christmas guys.
