Hey everyone,

just had my first couple of 3on3 RTs yesterday after 25 weeks (according to BNet stats) of absence. The funny part is that I lost my first game and still got f***ing promoted to Diamond. (o_O") I mean, not that I care too much, that way I don't have to fight my way back up the ladder again. But how come? I was Top50 (#38) Diamond in Season1 (according to 'last season' info) and that's just enough to get me to Diamond again. Ok... Weird, that's what I think.

But my skills proved that I had half a year of no SC2. Haha, the first four games were just finding out "What the hell do I have to do?". Anyone remember that from him-/herself? Returning after a long break and feeling like you never played the game. Now I start getting back on track, playing 3on3 RT. I know it's not 1on1 and an awful lot of you might consider it below themselves, but I actually like it and I still want to earn my 1000 Protoss win trophy from 3on3 RT only. (^_^")

Regards

I just love video games, what's your excuse?

I've had that feeling, and it kind of sucks, to be blunt. I came back after a month long break and played some 2v2 fungames with my friends as zerg for another month. When I tried to ladder as Terran, my original race, I failed miserably after a month of not playing at all, and one month of playing a completely different race, I ended up switching to zerg, and somehow did better than I did with terran, before the break.
