I feel really crappy right now. Ever since friday, I can't seem to win a game... Friday afternoon I was up to 2165 pts with 63% win, and now I'm down below 2000 with <60% win in a matter of a few days. I don't really understand why I'm losing, I'm playing the same as I always have and even better sometimes. I just got -13 from losing to a 2300 for some reason (combatEX).

I seriously don't understand how to win a game longer than 10 minutes with terran... my macro isn't godly but honestly there isnt much I can do once both colossi and storms are in play. I feel so helpless, and I felt really good a week ago.. sigh.. I hope terran gets some sort of decent lategame tool, because their macro mechanic blows compared to zerg lategame and their tech units blow compared to protoss lategame. I just don't have any idea..

lol owned.

Reminds me of the time my mom looked me up in wcg brackets a couple years ago and called me and was like "How could you lose to Sean Plott in WCG I expect u to win that trip to the finals." I almost died laughing.

Go do something else for a while, sounds like you're too stressed about playing. Take a break from SC, it will probably help.
I'm never wrong. I once thought I was wrong, but turns out I was mistaken.

I feel sorry for you . Does your dad visit TL just for the purpose of stalking you? Or is he an active lurker (lolwut) or poster.

I'm pretty sure he was "B-" in BW, but there are plenty of people with essentially no BW experience up in the 2000s.

his B- was through abusing.
his skill level was mediocre.

b- is quite easy if you only play your clanmates who you know you can beat as well as begging for wins



*insert obligatory your dick smells like shit joke*

in all seriousness he is doing pretty well for him self at SC2.

On topic with the op, Slumps suck. I have been failing pretty hard recently, then I want to play less, which in turn causes me to fail more. Its a vicious cycle. Just keep playing and experimenting, maybe you will come up with some new stuff to get out of the slump
When you play the game of drones you win or you die.

do you have a terran friend that you can watch for the mean time? like someone who's in the same level as you are? cause I tried this one style after slumping a few days.. i watched a good player/teammate of mine at personally and he did the trick for me in TvZ.. now I'm pretty decent not slumping against TvZ because of what he taught me.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

He abused into B- but even a Cish level player can expect to do well in sc2.
Hell, my protoss can beat 2k+ players and I haven't played random since beta aside from a few tries where I managed to win some against 2k+ :p (even if i lost quite a bit )

Remember you've suddenly broke the 2k barrier and you're starting to play good players. Right now I'm finding I'm playing some top 200 terran and he does some build e.g CC into double viking expand and i'm like "wow that is so little units, i'll just overun his nat and force him to lift and I'm way ahead" and I just steam roll the guy, or he goes 15 CC and plays passive macro and by the time he moves out at like 150 food I'm maxed on 4 base and I roll his army.
I'm sure the guy going double viking was going to harass the zerg's economy but it was too late, like when I was going P back in beta against a Z friend and my normal DT expo build wouldn't work even if i killed drones he was already so far ahead.

So probably what's happening is your opening builds/mechanics are off, and you're going into the midgame fighting on a slippery slope because the income advantages keep building on itself and you get taken down easily. You probably need to refine builds your gas timing CC timing etc and suddenly you might find your army is suddenly doing so much better your drops are effective etc.

Points lost/gained go by ELL not points. CombatEX has 2300 points but he mass games the SHIT outta the ladder so his ELL is actually pretty fucking low, so when you lose to him you lose more points.

I've beaten combatEX a couple times and im only 2050. For some reason, his mmr is much lower than his diamond rating (2300+).

Needless to say, he plays really really cheesy.
