Well... I'm about to start playing. I'm going to to playing macro oriented games today. Wish me luck.


Good on you! You may not get promoted as fast,but after you figure out how to make FE play work and learn to macro better, you'll shoot up in points!

Good luck man, even if you don't get all the way to diamond, playing this many games over break will certainly help you out both with your in game rank and your skill level.

you can macro pretty well?
Even some 2500+ diamonds can't macro well.

Replays plz so I can see.

I'm pretty sure people would help / give advice to you to get to diamond within 23 days.
But if you're losing to silver/gold now then it's going to take more than 23 days to reach Diamond.

I'll post some replays of me playing yesterday. When I say macro well I mean I think I macro better than most bronze, silver, gold players, but who knows?


I messed up on yesterdays record, it is now fixed.

I basically went only roach hydra, and only lost to 1 Zerg and the rest Protoss. The Protoss games I let get out of hand, I didn't attempt to keep them from getting bases at all and I just let both of us get to a 200/200 army. I didn't really know when to attack or anything. I scouted and such, but apparently it didn't do anything. I only played 7 games because I was drained, and my self esteem took a hit as well.


Lower-Level Protoss Tips:
* Stay one base ahead of your opponent
* Scout popular places to place proxy pylons
* Stay wary of scouting information (early 5 gateways = prepare for rush. Mess around with timings (yes, this means losing a number of games getting it right)).
* I start ZvP with heavy roaches. Most my opponents play "the counter game" and go straight for mass stalker/immortal. If you can force this with Roach/Hydra get a lot of lings and some blings and go on the offensive. If you're lucky your opponent won't know what to do (stalker and zealot) at which point you can overwhelm them.
* Muta harass is a great option and surviving mutas are a great addition to your army.
* UPGRADES! Protoss can chronoboost a quick 3-0 which will usually dominate a 0-0 army.
* Corruptors rape colossus
* There really isn't a "right" time to attack. Play around with it. Build units before, during, and after the attack. Go out of your way to keep up with larva injects. You probably won't be able to destroy the protoss army but you can replace yours MUCH faster (especially if they go for a counterattack far away from reinforcing pylons).

Well this sounds like quite an undertaking.

I think it would take more than 23 days for me to get from Bronze to Diamond and I am a diamond level player

Best of luck!

seriously speaking getting up to diamond is not as hard as most people think. just practise one solid build and PROFIT.

good luck.

That is not what I want to do though... I want to improve, so I stopped doing just a 7rr.

I also recently decided to focus and try really hard to get into diamond over this winter break. Although I fear I will be stuck at 2k platinum for a while, (coming from 1k platinum from a few days ago) I've been approaching it the same way. This is a great attitude to have and I will definitely be following this blog. There are so many who 7rr, 4gate, and 2rax every game but it does not benefit in the long run.

You've got the right idea!

See you on the ladder.

Well, if Rain has told us anything...
Er, i mean
Yeah, good luck to you - just stick with the macro - the tough part is always learning the timings when you are vulnerable, and finding ways to scout. As diamond, i still struggle with these cheese/allin/timing pushes. :////
