whatever you do don't play Starcraft 2.
The there is almost no skill threshold in Starcraft , you every game you win puts you vs a harder opponent until you get to the top 200 where you will be playing vs possible professional players. Where every match is nail-baiting , build orders are down to the second.
Used to be a High Masters Random level player
I quit, my life is much happier now
Practiced 4-8 Hours a day, the game wasn't fun anymore, even when you won . Because the stress and brain power was so much lol .
(Hard to enjoy the fruits of your labor, like if you get top 3 in a hyperion match you feel like a 100 bucks. but for example if you get top 3 in Starcraft it will be like " ok congrats next match now you face a whole team of Glock Nines/Stabby Stabby -ts / ect. "
Also Starcraft is built for 1 vs 1
so the friend/ team factor is gone O_o
Can't wait for Heart of the Swarm yo comes out in about 2 weeks.
