EPTSo today is gonna be day 1 of my laddering days, wonder why at last I decided to start laddering hardcore and get on my way to Masters?
I sent my gf to England to study(20 hours away from me now)
I graduated
I got a job
I have 3 hours daily after working hours to play
and lastly, I have my weekends all for myself now
Before this, I am one of those sad players who have ladder fear and will find all kind of excuses to stop myself from laddering, until I read this post :-

So now after I decided to play ladder, I set an guideline for myself so that I don't get frustrated and quit halfway
1. at least 5 games on weekdays
2. at least 10 games on weekends
3. try identifying my mistakes by watching replay after my gaming session
4. Ignore ladder points
5. more gg, more skill
6. get enough rest daily (8 hours)
7. do some stretching before games
8. last but not least, live a healthy lifestyle.
And here I go, hitting the FIND MATCH button.
Results for todays ladder session,
not as bad as I expected

An awesome 9win 5lose after not playing for so long,
I am pumped for my next session.
But before that, I reviewed my games and found out a few flaws:-
Not doing any harassing
Army is just parked outside my base
Not enough scouting
Macro slip during battles
etc etc...
OH MY GAWD, so many flaws that it hurts me every time I identify one of them >.<
So now I'll just stick to this few and refine them for maybe the next 3 days.
Anyway Thanks for reading, I hope that u guys will give me a 5 star rating after reading and also give me words of encouragement^^
Do look for my ladder Day #2 where I will be doing some analysis of my own games and also some funny things that happen during games.
Thanks again!
