So I'm playing in the Plantronics league (http://gamecom.plantronics.com/sc2) and I was matched against a protoss master's league player. I was soooo scared. But I made it to midggame and I was pretty proud. I got smacked in the first game after he just essentially a-moved, but in the second game we had a few engagements, few I think were good for me. Note I'm only platinum and I'm only in this league for kicks. So it was fun to stay competitive against a master's player, even if it was only for a little

Replay game #2: http://www.sc-replay.com/replay/13-07-11/118317-Imjorman-VS-CheckRaise.html

Just happy and blogging about it is all

Nice job though But yeah... I can't speak for most masters players but the ones I play with don't aim to end the game in the first 8 minutes normally. if it happens its because the other person made a few mistakes

Yea that and a lot of players who could be in Master if they played more games, but don't play enough games to boost their points/rank.

Actually it's the opposite. There's a lot of terrible players who just all-in/1 base play every game and no idea wtf to do past that point and are masters. I think that's what unit meant in the first place as well.

Great job man. Takes some balls to make it that far against a far superior player.

Indeed, I can barely bring myself to play my friends who are at my level
When I play less-skilled friends, I agree, being in the midgame is good, it's when your macro shows over the other player
