Yeeaaah it's just another one of those "hey everybody look at me, I don't suck as much as before anymore, but hey you saw the title, you knew what was coming.

Though I'll be honest I didn't know if I should write because noone would care.
However, I read GoShox's blog with his slightly more impressive feat and thought fuck it let's go.

Another reason is that I hadn't been feeling so great lately, which after playing some bad games against some koreans and some other players resulted in a dislocated shoulder
so I was particularly happy about this upswing.


So here's the story, I had been losing some games,as described in my first blog, until I decided not to play during korean hours anymore.
And when I realised that season 9 was about to end I set my goal to get to C- for the first time ever and I decided to get there the easy way.

So I opened up some games "D/D+ Destination, you P", as ZvP is my best matchup.
And boy, the skill difference between koreans and non-koreans is bigger than I remembered it to be, I played 4 games, and 3/4 were so one-sided and easy it was ridiculous. In the one game that wasn't - which coincidentally was against the only player who was D instead of D+, I got really lucky:
I had controlled the whole early game and it was looking good but I got a little lazy and let my macro slip so at one point he suddenly was in my natural with a huge army while only had little parts of my army to defend, he destroyed my nat, walked up to my main ---- bam, he lost connection to the internet. I get lucky, I win.

So everything was going right, I got two more wins against TL's own decafchicken and one more against some D player who seemed to be playing for the first time.
So here I am with 3038 points after a 7game winning streak right before the season ends.

Sure I didn't beat even a single C- player to get there so I'm not a real C- player, sure I got there by just playing my best mu, sure I would have gotten there much earlier if I didn't play such damn few games, but I don't care I'm just happy for now.
Also I just saw Inglorious Basterds, pretty fun movie :p

My goal for the next season is to get my ZvT on the lvl that my ZvP is, I've already beaten C- Ts with it, but I'm incredibly inconsistent at it and I still lose to D players as well.
So yeah I hope it'll be a fun season with me playing a whole lot more games than this one, and I hope I like the new pro league maps (tbh I'm not nearly as excited as I was when I first saw outsider and heartbreak ridge etc.)

Thx for reading

Getting to C- for the first time is cool and I remember doing that.

However, let's look at the facts. You picked the matchup, you played several d players while d+, got lucky with winning a lost game due to him disconnecting... not really stuff I would broadcast lol.

edit: furthermore:

[19:14] <decaf> those games
[19:14] <decaf> i didnt even mean to make
[19:14] <decaf> on ladder
[19:14] <micronesia> haha
[19:14] <decaf> i was working on simcity
[19:14] <decaf> so i was in window mode

[19:15] <decaf> i was playing toss rofl

Not to decaf's discredit; I asked him about it

Come on, I mentioned all those things in the blog and that they theoretically make the feat less impressive, as well as I mentioned that I still don't really mind and am happy about it nevertheless
Also, damn you, you destroyed the Zerg only harmony that this blog was :p

Yeah I didn't mean to discredit him, he told me in game about how he was looking at how to to the proper wall in while playing
But I mentioned it cause I always think it's kinda cool to play against people whose comments you've read for a while on TL, especially someone with a huge post count like him.

Yahoo 7mk! with all the nerd rage from you previous blogs and the frustration of trying to defeat every single korean all that hard work pays off :D

CONGRATS! btw, when is end of season?
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

I too hit C- for the first time a few days ago, after 10 years of playing this game stuck in D+..

How I did it?

"1v1 D/D+ No Z!"

PvZ is my weakest match up haha

Good thing I did it like this, or you woulda been taking games from me =P
