Lets start off with BW, as always I hit a losing streak on my way to C-. Hit C relatively easy last season and I cant even get to C- yet.....well technically I did but I rage reset. It's 4:15 AM and I'm furious I've lost 5+ games in a row. It's one of those things where you have to finish with a win or you don't sleep kinda things. But normally at 4:15 AM I'm already at work, setting up the room in the factory I work at getting ready to dice 150k lbs of potatoes to make potato salad. So knowing that I should really get to sleep, but I feel almost forced to get that 1 win before I sleep but we never know how long that will be.

Also about the losing streak, it came against mostly Terrans, which I do blame on myself but also the lack of practice. It's not often you see TvT ladder games on ICCup and it's due a lot to player dodging the MU because it's boring. How the hell do you plan on being good at it when you play in a tour or in the upcoming ISL. PLease for the love of god quit dodging TvT for my sake so I can finally practice this MU.

Lastly about Magic The Gathering. So with Jace and Stoneforge being banned(Although I felt only stoneforge needed banned/limited) what are your thoughts on the upcoming metagame? I mean it's obvious that Valakut and Mono red will do well, but what about Vamps? Tempered Steel? Big Red? Mono White Equipment? With the release of M12 coming soon what are your thoughts on the new planeswalkers? is Mill going to be a viable standard strat? the new chandra fit the Goblin moniker? Garruk worth 5 mana for +3/+3 trample on one creature or a green sun zenith? Just randomness that popped into my head this late ate night.

Now that I wrote all that down I'm settled down and ready for sleep. GN TL!

just start race picking protoss vs terran and you wont have any more problems!

also dont worry about not ranking up. i'm still @ C-. seems like all the B's and above are still filtering up through the D ranks and its really a crapshoot as to what sort of opponent you get
