Firstly: I have been slacking very much for the last month or so. I have had a hard time pulling myself together and just doing things, hence no blog posts.

Secondly: I am back! :D




Hi peeps! ^^

I mentioned in my last post that I have a mayor gap in my replay collection. I just recently looked into that and with a big grin on my face I watched the first replay after the gap.
+ Show Spoiler +
It turns out that I cannot find my replays -.- Which means that the latest replay is from this year after the ladderreset.




So given the new information the tittle should have been: A new season = Starting over with mayor and fast improvements!

I you feel a bit lost let me explain the new tittle. Just before the ladder was reset (30/03/2011), day[9] announced a funday monday with ghosts, nukes and dr. Seuss. Often times before I had tried to play under the different constrictions but failed big time. It was not until this particular funday monday I told myself: Okay... the ladder is put on hold.. today is the day! If i just practice Terran and only nuke with mmm back-up, it would be weird not to win just a game or two.

If I still were in silver at that point my theory would have been flawless, but no... During "the replay gap" I had fought my way into platinum! :D (gosu me ^^)



This also sadly made it impossible to win more than 1 game out of 30 or so when I tried to apply for the funday monday. Well.. Stubborn me wanted very badly to be in a funday monday episode, so i kept on trying - the ladder was on hold, so what difference would it make?



+ Show Spoiler +
An F'ing BIG one!!!

I got bumped into silver after playing my placement match even though I won!! WTF happened with the: "The ladder is put on hold. You may play as much as you like without it affecting your league placement"





[image loading]

Well ¤%& you Blizzard!
+ Show Spoiler +
Sorry to anyone offended by this. I still remember how I felt back then. Got my ladder placement ruined because I wanted to have fun with the day[9] restrictions and lost a shit-ton of games besides that - funday monday really became sadday badday or something like that after that experience -__- (this was only a onetime experince! Still laughed my ass off when the nuke funday was aired :D)




So as you can see I was back in the same league as in the beginning. But something had definitely changed. The first match after the reset I really could not take serious. Proxy 2 gate on shattered temple against a zerg player who whined about chrono boost imbalance -__-

+ Show Spoiler +
Voila´! Promoted to Gold :D




After This I really felt like nothing could stop me! I was invincible!! :D (mostly because I beforehand was a platinum player, and now playing against silver and gold players.
+ Show Spoiler +
I was stealing ladderpoints from all you nwbs out there!




This put me on an insane winning streak ( I know it says two 2v2 but i think you get the idea )
[image loading]




After stealing millions of ladder points it was once again time. A stranger had come forth to challenge me for a seat in the highly spoken platinum league! Were I still worthy!?

The infamous player Blue was my opponent. No messages was displayed during the game. We were both dead serious!





Next entry: Blue - The destroyer of worlds (anyone get the reference ? )

Blue nukes? And grats I was in silver then gold then and breezed my way to plat. Feels good to see a promotion window. Even better if you see diamond. One step closer to masters. :D Too bad NA ladder has drophackers and that should be normal since its summer and all the ''toughy and cool'' kids are online.
