Hi, first blog post ever.

So... I am a 2k+ Terran player, and I have been just sick of playing 2.2k+ players who constantly cheese... The ladder games I play are just not as good as the practice games I play on custom games... So I decided to grind portraits lol

My record was 113-71, a little over 2000 and it took me 86 losses in a row to get back to bronze... I think it dropped to me 1600+ bronze rating... Now I am playing random, grinding some portraits and back to playing custom games w/ high diamond players.

I think next season I am going to start to play ladder and aim to get top 200, when it starts fresh.. but for now, I think practice games and portrait grinding seems fun for me. The practice I get on custom is way better than laddering anyways - o-

Oh and I am ranked 31st in NA right now for bronze LOL!!!

They should really let us ladder on one 1v1 team for each race and one for random. Stuff like this is bullshit but it is the only way for you to do it.

Edit: Fuck balls that was my 4000th post, lamest guardianification ever.

Don't feel too bad. My carrierification happened spontaneously while I was sleeping one night. t.t

86 losses in a row sounds like it'd be a chore to do.

hahahahaha fail

on topic, do you plan on throwing games just for the portraits or do you plan on getting better with each race?

I'm curious, did you get bumped down from league to league (Diamond to Plat to Gold etc) or did you go straight from Diamond to Bronze?

113-71 was a really good ratio! Also, blizzard states that MMR is kept throughout seasons therefore...you might need to play 86 noobs before playing people your level! Super awesome record for the next season!

For the 86 losses, did you just wait for a game to start and just leave it without sending your workers to mine?

lol i did this on one of my extra accounts. I was in diamond and blizzard thought it necessary to skip plat, gold, and silver, and drop me all the way to bronze immediately. Matchmaking works people!

Yesterday I won vs. two 2000 point diamond leaguers then got on my friend's silver league account and lost two games strait to silver league and gold league players. High level players are predictable and seem easier to beat for some strange reason.

I won a game against an 1800 diamond player while going afk a minute after placing my pylon, but I lose to gold/plat players pretty often

Hah, I think that's the main problem. They all have some serious cheese that they have perfected to some extent. It's just stuff you never see. Like this one terran player who cheesed me to death with banshee/viking as he spammed in mules to repair them.... You just don't expect that! Then you try to attack his main he's got it bunkered up like fort knox.

Yeah exactly shit like that. One terran walled me off at the bottom of my ramp with bunkers and made a factory right there to reinforce with tanks. I was like...wat
