Ugh, I feel your pain I've recently gotten to top 5 Platinum and have been facing diamonds regularly, much the same as you. But I've wanted that diamond icon for sooo long now, and whenever I lose, especially to stupid stuff I get mad when I normally wouldn't, and it just gives me this feeling like I'm lost and don't know what to do in this game to finally push up, and I just go on terrible tilts. Great read, good to know I'm not the only one out there in this boat. I hope I can take the just 'enjoy your games' advice and put it to use. Great read.

Totally agree I've had only a few sick games but those made getting promoted feel like nothing, promotions totally arbitrary in SC2 from my experience on 3 servers and even in high diamond there are many who are total shit and then some who you can tell deserve to be higher up. I need to look back and see old thoughts on ICCUP ladder did people have a similar feeling or was it different because it wasn't Blizzards system calling the shots?

I'm surprised you didn't get angry in the first game. To be honest, I would have gotten pretty pissed. I need to stop getting tilted though t.t How many games do you have on ladder?

I got frustrated but I knew I had the advantage at some points and tossed it away through my own fault. I did vent a bit in the Cincinnati chat after, but had to admit in game it was a gg.

This season I've played like 100 1v1 games, like at least 50 of those in the last week. I had never mass gamed like that and it started to get to me. Overall including all seasons, I've probably played like 250 1v1s.



I can never mass games but I know I need to start. My mind expects me to get better yet I know in reality that, I have to spend a couple hours a day at the very least if I want to get good. Right now, I just ladder once every 2 weeks for an hour or two and I can't expect results off of that. If you ever want to practice with me demik, I'd be up for it. I'm trying to get the passion for Sc2 that I had in BW and I want to be up there so if you want to practice, just ask.

i wish i was less competitive tbh
i feel as if i'm not enjoying the game as much as i could be simply because i care about my rank so much, which makes me sad

it just makes me even more angry whenever i lose to stupid shit like mass speedling or failed base trades
<.<


You need to think of it like this...no one cares about your ladder rank, so why should you? As long as you get better with each match, you'll eventually become good.
