     Great Game !  But man the multiplayer is intimidating.  LIKE A GIANT BEAST :)  A lot of guys i know don’t even want to play due to the fact they don’t want to get destroyed.  I know that Battle.net has done ALOT to try to get the player to be less intimidated by the multiplayer and train players up.  But it seems like they didn’t push that out enough to the public eye, or is that something they should have marketed more, or better explained on Battle.net?  I’m not sure.  But personally I’ve been learning the multiplayer aspect by game sessions with tolerating Jedi Masters, I've always been a sink or swim guy... so thanks to them I doggie paddle.   thanks Pavel!  Anyway great game but man what can Blizzard do to make the Multiplayer of StarCraft 2 seem less daunting to a new Terran General?

    The matchmaking system seems to work OK, it joined me up with people who were probably slightly better than I was, but none of the matches were pure slaughter. Try the single player challenges the game has got, or even better, try watching replays and figuring out the fastest tactics.
