Starting rank: 31 platinum Finishing rank: 11 platinum Games played: 8 Games won: 6 Notes: Don't really remember anything besides losing 1 game cause I was listening to state of the game and not paying any attention and another game where some Terran player said Zerg was OP... ZvZ: Tried some heavy zergling play with +1 attack (including 1 game where I messed up my gas so I go all in with +1 attack and +1 armor zerglings) banelings still an issue, but right now I'm just trying to ignore that issue, if I scout a baneling nest I'll get queens to block ramp or roaches... ZvP: 1 ZvP Don't recall exact details, I just got some zerglings in his base (prevented an early wall using cyber core with patroling drone) and won... macro was terrible while microing lings. ZvT: Lost 1 game due to having no idea what was even happening (distracted with podcasts) and a bunch of terran players who pretty much give me free wins due to bad control. Eh... points wise was a good day (22 spots on ladder yay!) but all the games where pretty poor from both players my decision making is getting a little better but my macro always fails when shit starts happening. Replays: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7q3d3eru8rzufpd/Daily replays 3.zip As always criticism is appreciated as are suggestions. Let's have a good day 4!

I'm a 1100 diamond now and i get schooled by D+/C- on ICCUP. i never played much BW so my strategies suck but my point is that even most diamond players are only competent at best. it kind of sucks though, because most people (especially on bnet forums) will only listen IF you are in diamond, so i can see the appeal there. I guess it's also just a nice feeling to accomplish it, so i cant blame you for that. my main point is just focus on GETTING BETTER rather than furiously trying to rank up. i can't tell you how many people i know that are diamond solely on cheesing and the like, because seemingly a number that only they see is more important to them than their actual skill.
