So it was late last night in between Code S groups (didn't want to watch TOP vs Virus, because i had had enough of tvt), and I had nothing to do after me and some friends did this micro challenge that destiny had on stream apparently. May I add, OH GOD WHAT THE HELL HOW ARE THOSE POSSIBLE. Almost beat easy >< did like half the hards, tried impossible once, didn't try brutal. That was ridiculous.

Anyway I didn't want to play anymore but there was time left over.. TIME TO LADDER EH. While exhausted ><

I'm floating around 1k points with 500+ bonus in gold at this point.

Did 2 matches. Both pvp, go figure ><. Game 1 I lose to...units because I was playing tired.

Game 2 I say okay, fuck this. I'm going to 4 gate a pvp in the first time since I got out of bronze.

Juliette
<Shakuras Plateau> Voyou (I apologize if you browse TL)


In keeping with my decision to 4 gate, I decide okay, why not go 10 gate!


[image loading]
Blindly 10 gating without scouting...

Screw it, I'm going to allin anyway. Naturally however, I fuck up enough to get my Core barely faster than he. Possibly because I was too tired. Also because I'm bad rofl.

But screw it! The 4 gate must continue!

[image loading]
Fucking up a 10 gate, awww yeahhh

He actually gets his zealot/stalker out before I do...

[image loading]

Luckily I'm using more chrono than he is for my warpgates so I come out ahead...

[image loading]

and even luckier, my scouting probe gets out before his stalker! So of course, because I know what I'm planning and spent all my chrono on warpgate, I'm done before he is. However what I don't know is that there's a sentry. My proxy gets up, warp finishes and I'm ready to attack!

[image loading]
dat timing

Okay, so my 4th gateway is actually delayed...
[image loading]
Fucking up a 4 gate, aww yeah.

Whatever, its GO TIME.

[image loading]

...AND he lets me up his ramp? I GOT THIS.

I even force probes to be pulled! I GOT THIS

[image loading]
What you don't see: his stargate that I have vision of, 2 stalkers coming in to reinforce.

I see the stargate and became really really confused... Then I realize WAIT I HAVE THIS WON AWW YEAH TIME TO BE TIRED. I kinda stop microing...

[image loading]
Ummmmmm.........

[image loading]
God dammit

Don't ask how I have 189 apm ><

[image loading]
Don't worry I have more units!

[image loading]
Uhm,.... oh.

[image loading]
Fuck

[image loading]
Its okay, lets try this one more time!

[image loading]
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Eventually I run the fuck away and go back to my proxy pylon

[image loading]
It'll work this time I swear!


The damage has been done though. I have 10x his workers ;o

[image loading]

Geegeeeeeeeeee

[image loading]
Success!

And then I get a wonderful surprise...

Let me get this the fuck straight. After countless victories:

It takes a 4 gate to get promoted?

4-Gate is clearly the currency by which Protoss purchase rank. Exploitation time!

That 20 seconds most certainly does not make a lick of difference before high platinum.

So now you can't compete in NOBSG's? I would have loved to face you, if all those zergs hadn't got in my way.

Using 4 gate to win is most upsetting. But that is okay, I guess, as long as your winning. Now your sights are set upon diamond! Good luck.

:D yeah I'll admit, protoss is easiest to get into platinum/diamond/masters, but its just as hard to be GM toss as it is GM terran or zerg imo. I think it's all balanced at pro level.

i killed the last terran that made banshees with 3 gate -> robo, killed the one before that with 1 gate robo -> 5 gate immortal :D.



its 1/2 port banshee -> making turrets in their main -> "expanding"
