As soon as my last upcoming midterm on Wednesday is over, it's time for ICC! I'm currently sitting at 2783 (Qiufeng), so C- should be no issue. C will probably be more annoying though. Since I haven't really played consistently in a long time, my sense of timing is really bad, gateways going down late, sometimes forgetting obs until really late, etc. Also, I haven't really been using templar much, since I somehow manage to lose them all over the place (good thing C- can be achieved without them eh?). Note that I am only playing PvZ; I just don't have the time to practice all 3 matchups as much as I would like.

I haven't actually seen the yellow rank on ICC before, so it'll be nice whenever I hit 3k =D. Any tips/suggestions for the C- to C grind?

if you're at 50% winrate on D+ you're going to have a hard time getting to C. I think you'll bounce between D+/C- Jason.

back to topic - just play people in op irc and other similar channels where you can get multiple games from the same person, it's helpful learning how to overcome different styles through playing them multiple times.

Actually I do get templars, but I usually lose them so I morph them into archons =/
Mostly it's cause I don't have the whole army moves with the templars while generally surrounding them type of thing down. My army tends to get way the hell ahead of tempalrs, so sometimes I try to move them slowly in block movements, etc, but then my macro gets ruined from too much unit attention.

Well, after getting a bit more used to the game again (~ etc around finally D+ after way too many games at D), I don't think I have lost to a "real" D+. Pretty sure they were all C- and above from last season or this. I'll have to work on my mechanics a bit more, but I don't think staying at C- should be too hard from my current position. C I agree is another matter completely, but I have the advantage that I am playing ONLY one matchup.

Oh, and when I first played from D, you have no idea how confusing it was trying to multitask after hardcore WoW raiding for a year lol. It was like putting one hand on a chair, running/spinning it around, and then trying to walk through a door or something.
