I'm done playing for now, I've played 13 games so far.

I guess I just need to keep playing until it weeds out all the players who weren't previously D in other seasons because I'm 3-9 so far, and one of those fag Protoss just disc'd me for me 13th game after even saying gg when I was rolling him. -_-;;

I've played 1 TvZ, 1 TvT, and 11 fucking TvPs. Fuck Protoss, I'm pretty good against defending cheese, but I got fucking cheesed in all but one of those TvPs.

My score is just over 1000 again, and I'm hoping I get can lots of games in tomorrow with the long weekend(for me anyway) and at least get to D+. I got C- last season on one of the last days with just over a 50% winrate, so I'm going for C this season.

I just think the problem will be not having enough time to get many games in. I have to work part-time because I'm in college now, and I might even have to boost those hours so i can afford to pay rent on my 18th birthday.

Anyways, that's why I'm going to try to game a lot this weekend. Hopefully I can start playing people my skill level soon...

I got rolled by this toss because I was being AGGRESSIVE when i was going siege expand vs 1gate range into fast expo, I don't know what i was thinking trying to push out of my PAST MY BRIDGES to the MIDDLE OF THE MAP vs 4 goons when i had 1 tank 4 rines dear god that was awful, and because of that my nat expo was delayed so much. I seriously thought he would cheese me but he didn't so it wasn't a bad feeling at the end (aside from the mass scouts lol)

Then I won a TvT on Python which is either god awful or god awful with lag, I got the latter It was tres horribles.

I would have had a huge advantage in one game TvP of Tau cross when he went 2gate. He had 2 dragoons left both with 2hp, and i had a tank that just finished, but IT FUCKING FROZE and died without attacking and I was basically fucked because that was all I had left.

That fucking game angered me quite possibly more than any ever game I've played.

My TvT understanding isn't anywhere near as close as my TvZ or TvP

Haha, I played ICCUP for the first time at the end of the season for a few days and only reached D+, so I can only imagine what a bitch it is to play now with all those high ranked people mixed in. I quit without even trying to break C- because my ass was pretty sore from being raped and I don't think it was possible for me without going insane. Mind you, this was during the summer time when I had free time but with fall coming, I don't think I would have the time for even casual games.

I don't know why I was rambling lol but I think it's to tell you that I can kinda feel your pain (even though I've never been in the hell that is C rank) and that with your part time job and school, it will probably be a bit more hectic to play freely on ICCUP and get your desired rank, so make sure to remember about TL You're one of those special posters around for me and I always like reading your randomness--whether it's sc related or not--so just make sure not to commit all your free time to ICCUP And if you ever quit sc, stick around like me for the community!

Oh, and I know you're from BC, so make sure to support the Canucks in the NHL thread

but just remember that the Leafs are still better, don't let our rankings fool you

Will do Masamune; TL has grown on me. It's kind of like that giant mole you have on your back, that you really want to just cut off because it looks gross, but you can't because the mole will always come back and haunt you. That mole is part of who I am.

/randomness lol. I'm pretty bored right now.

I was just reading your past blogs and lol about the pot cookies. Yeah...I think I prefer the blogs on peoples regular lives so blog more about that! Your sc ones are good too, but I can relate more to the real life stuff (my mom actually caught a gram of weed in my pockets or something while doing the laundry fun fun fun) as opposed to the more sc oriented ones since I suck and still haven't seen a rock replay

couldnt you just attack them with scvs, or do you mean that tank was literally all
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I had SCVs, but he just kept dragoon dancing and I couldn't get a surround on him until 2 more dragoons showed up as well. If that tank survived I could made a wall and turtled until my advantage kicked in from a faster expo.

If everyone is cheesing you with the same strats, can't you counter them? DT > 4 gate goon, and so forth.

Maybe it's because I've been playing aggressively, but no one cheesed me in thirteen games...
My strategy is to fork people.
