How I Kicked my Slump's Ass

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 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.

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
