Well, I am not in beta but I like this approach. It is much better to play a close game than to get destroyed by someone that is so much better than you that there is no contest. And of course while it is sometimes fun to stomp on a newbie, that gets old too.

You learn the most from close games. You learn nothing from beating someone much worse than you. And when you are destroyed by someone much better you also usually do not learn much because you are so far behind that usually you do not know what hit you.

I end up getting demolished on every round. Starcraft 1 was so long ago.....
If you're in Bronze league, seriously just reaper rush every game.
I find I learn the most just watching replays on YouTube.
