So I played random for a pretty long time. But one day, I decided I was gonna play a lot of protoss, and I did. I laddered from about 700 diamond to about 1300 diamond just with protoss. The problem, however, was when I tried to go back to playing some zerg. I started losing all my games (like 80%) and almost dropped back below the 1000 point mark. So I was like ![](/mirror/smilies/frown.gif)
Today, I realized I had only given away one of my guest passes. So I started up a new account to bash on some kids for a while (I know its bad but losing like 15 out of 20 games is really frustrating ). I of course went 5-0 in my placements because of bronze/gold people and I got placed into platinum. I've played about 6 games there so far and they've all been vs 1000+ people (as high as 1300, where I once was with protoss) and have beat them all.
I know, I know, far from impressive. But keep in mind I had been losing to sub-600 point diamond and even a few platinum people. Who would have thought that playing bad people for a little while would get me back in shape? Yay. :D
Side note: This reminds me of an old-school day9 podcast I heard quite a long time ago. If anyone hasn't listened to these, I would suggest it (even though a lot of the specifics are related to BW, most of its really general and can be applied rather easily to sc2). Podcasts are located in this thread.
Bye. ![](/mirror/smilies/smile.gif)

A way to do this without using guest passes if you just want a free win is to go into custom games. People there are generally really bad so it's easy to get a free win to boost your moral, but I wouldn't ever expect to get any better that way

yea its a shame that we can't get a ranking/rating for each race. I'd like to play toss or terran and I don't wanna throw away my zerg record to be able to do it.

Good thing i have both of my guest passes left.
