when i first started, to avoid getting crushed in 1v1s when i didn't know shit, i would just play team games
gives you a chance to get comfortable, adjust hotkeys, and find your preferences
plus their isn't weight on just you to win.. its teams so who cares
do you watch pro games yet? because a lot of people that play especially those that want to get better watch a lot..helps you learn build orders, general rules, timings, and basic concepts
