Well today's laddering has been a great success :D
Although only managed 6 games, but with only 2 losses so thats something im quite happy about AND FINALLY got the baneling portrait lol

I have noticed that my general Game play and Next step planning has improved along with my reactions to sudden pushes and surprise tactics.

But with that said, my scouting still sucks, and keeping my minerals low is still quite hard for some ReasoN.

Encountered some better players today, it seems matchmaking pitted me against higher level opponents, their gameplay was really good and i, for the first time so far, encountered a protoss that USES FORCE FEILDS! D: and i just crumbled when he pushed out. That made me rage XD

Im quite proud of my last...25-30 games, not many skulls :O
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]

That said i still think i should play more games more regularly, although constant laddering feels a little...dull? I would Love to have some regular contact with other players to practice with and what not, or even jump on vent or skype and play some Team games or customs, its a little lonely with no chat rooms in sc2 yet and 0 people on friends list lol

Well time for some replays of todays losses and a most shocking cattle bruiser rush that i only saw coming until the last second.

[image loading]

This guy wiped the floor with me. He was in a higher league but what really pissed me off this Game is when he started to push out, my mother comes in my room and starts asking me questions for a dumb blonde joke and multitasking the Game and talking isnt something i can do lol so i just crumbled at the seams. And i didnt actually type a censored word in chat i always hold shift and hit 1234 , no seriously i do. !@#$ YOU :D

[image loading]
Ok this is the first time i encountered a player that has really good force fielding capabilities, i dont know how to handle this situation, i really need some advice on this as i know this comes up alot in high level ZvP

[image loading]
Now i know this one is of me winning but my main 2 problems are in this Game. 1. Scouting, 2. Money management. but i guess other lower level zerg players could take this replay and i guess see how i dealt with cattle bruisers that where just BAM suddenly there...also, i used a really huge baneling bust in this that makes me wonder if it was a bit excessive...I was expecting a giant bio ball behind that wall of his but...CATTLE BRUISERS D: and im sure if your micro is better than mine you can reduce the damage alot more than i did XD and this is the first time i played on this new map so i was like "WHERE DO I PUT MY OV's?!"


And it would seem in ZvZ that if i mass mutas First, my opponent gets hydras and then i get banelings and...he dies :O Something i noticed while playing 2 ZvZ matchups today that Really turned the tide for me.

anyway guys im sure you are all falling asleep at this point so i will just end this here

GL HF Peace

PS: please rate, im still pretty new here and i would like to benchmark my blogs so i can improve them

Grats on your success, but don't be afraid of the skulls!

Just make sure you learn something for every skull, you're a better player when you lose well than when you win well.

Also keep in mind that most all diamond players will be ~55% win rate after enough games.
