I'm pretty sure this is going to get buried under all the new SC2 blogs in no time, but I finally hit B- after dicking around against Koreans at C for 60+ games at a sub-50% winrate. Then, I went through C+ in about three days with a record of 11-6.
I guess I'll try to hit B- with ZvT exclusively next, because my ZvT sucks balls. Maybe I'll try to hit B next season as well, but the seasons seem to get progressively harder and more Korean (I'm positive at least 75% of my games have been Koreans, and it's been close to around 50% in previous seasons.)

My account: http://www.iccup.com/gamingprofile/Art.Tetra.html

I would make a super special awesome battle report, but I have no super special awesome battles to report (none of my games were really memorable).

And, since it's about that time of year, all you high school seniors should come to Caltech and help our CSL team to suck less.

But otherwise, Caltech is a terrible place.

Isn't Caltech independent and therefore free from obligation to favor Californians?
And how is Caltech a terrible place? Okay, the gender ratio must suck, people must be hyper competitive, and the work load I can imagine would be awful. What else?

well mass gaming away your woes into the blue ranks is better than beta anyways . Especially when you're beating up on some Koreans.

I know if I had a beta key I would instantly trade it for the ability to reach B in sc1...that is, if trading/selling keys were legal of course

Congrats!

well, 35% is from california. and so its still some favor towards californians. that coupled with me being very, very lazy, i dont think i could.
