It's hard to get excited for a 2v2. I'm trying to get you excited by bragging about myself. Either you'll become deluded and think I'm good, or you'll think that I think I'm good but you'll disagree and just want me to get annhilated. Or you won't care. As long as we avoid the latter I'll have achieved my goal. I think I'm participating in the "OMFG" cast on Friday as one of the 2v2 players, so that provides my an excuse to brag a bit and label it "hype."

Anyway, today marks my becoming #1 Platinum in both 1v1 and 2v2 with each of the races. In the previous "seasons" I was #1 with Zerg and Protoss in both 1v1 and 2v2. Now I'm happy to report that I am also #1 in 1v1 and 2v2 with Terran. Things have come a long way since carpal tunnel raped my capacity to play my favorite games. Yay.

I'm sure some of you non-#1 platinum players are just itching to hate on me because I didn't post my ELO. Well, my ELO is 2,043 in 1v1 and 1,997 in 2v2. It's actually depressingly easy to get these rankings, so one of my goals for the near future is to show how easy it is.

Also, there was a complaint last night that I didn't blow up enough stuff with my nukes. Here's a game where I blow up more things with nukes and the guy rage disconnects.

So there you are for more nukes in ~1985 2v2. (Really have no idea what was going on with these poor opponents)

Here's a screenshot. Please print it and store it for your records.

So there's that. I don't usually indulge in hubris because it's bad for my ego, but I hope to take all this self-aggrandizing in a benevolent and socially optimal direction.

I should probably add that if you've ever seen my account before (IntoTheSea) you probably are justified in thinking I'm pretty bad but hopefully that will change. Less drugs, more sleep, better food, and more exercise will surely turn things around. And of course more Starcraft
