Well, I have been inactive recently due to being extremely busy getting settled into a new job and also starting my clinical rotations for paramedic school plus being sick on top of it all with an upper respiratory infection. However, I did manage to get in a few games recently and with my last win........I am finally into SILVER. While it doesn't seem like much to someone who is already plat/diamond, it means I am finally moving up from the cess pool that is bronze. I don't doubt I will continue to face cheese strat after cheese strat, but at least it will begin to improve.

Go Go Ladder Fighting!

Good luck. I've heard clinical rotations can be a pain.

Hey, congratulations! My brother is going through the same stage as you are right now, and I know that going up from bronze to silver is definitely a pretty big step compared to silver-gold, gold-platinum, etc so well done =).

Congrats Nervegas!

Have you done anything "better" that you've noticed since before you moved up? Any particular key things you're going to keep on top of?

I think when moving from Bronze to Silver you just need to be a little careful of people using units a little more effectively, and on the odd occasion you'll encounter people attempting some tricky stuff a bit more often - but from what I remember/understand it's not too much harder than bronze. Just keep your macro in check and you'll be gold shortly too

Edit: Well obviously my post is a little contrary to Baby_seal, but that's just my 5c.

The fact that you're in paramedic school means a lot more than silver, but good job anyways.
Jaedong plz
