When Season 3 started, I was confident that I could make Masters because I improved so much since I got promoted to Diamond. I was crushing players in my league and sat at Rank 1 (still am) but I never seemed to be able to get promoted. Then, school started. I started slumping and losing games repetitively to players I shouldn't have lost to. I started raging, and threw away multiple games that I could have won or done better before I lost.
I stopped playing for 2 weeks. I stayed on StarCraft 2 to organize clan wars with my clan, and to observer games of Professional SEA players. I couldn't give up on StarCraft 2 even as my school workload began to grow. I have extra class and extra curricular activities everyday, except for the weekends and my time for playing SC2 shrank heavily. I still love the game as much as I did from Day 1 and to tell the truth I love it A LOT.
And especially as most of you know, Protoss seems to be a very weak race right now, and have terrible PvX Stats across all servers and especially in Professional Level play. I thought I should switch to another race or just quit Playing SC2, but follow the scene and watch. But 2 weeks of school started SaSe streaming. I couldn't thank SaSe anymore. My sleepless nights became enjoyable ones, as I was able to watch SaSe get on his way to Korean GM from Day 1 in the GOM House. I regained my hope, and started playing more 1v1s. Right now I'm sitting at Rank 1 and I have the MMR of High Masters/GM SEA players. I would also like to thank LiquidHerO, DignitasNaNiwa and EGHuK for being amazing Protoss Nerdballers (and obviously MC, although he seems to be going through a tough slump). I would also like to thank Day9 for his 100th Daily. It's been one of the most motivational videos I've ever seen in my life.
Well, that's my shitty life.
P.S. Don't hate on me so much because I'm only 13, have terrible English and have just started Blogging. Cheers!
