So it's been a week since I have started Road to Gold. To be honest thought id be promoted by now. Since I am not, I will continue to write my blog for future reference of why I sucked so bad in a years time. I would like to take this time to remember those who have died and who are still fighting in times of war. Lest we forget.

Game 1

Protoss
Rank 10 Silver
38 Wins


+ Show Spoiler +
Why do I always get toss for my first game? I knew he was bad when he didnt FFE lol. He opened some random build, and I held off his push. Game progresses and I just mass up ling muta roach, I deny his third 2 times. I did a bad engagement and he pushes my base because I didnt macro well. I hold it off and remass roach, macro, rally, GG. He rage's a bit, I like to throw in that I'm Silver when they rage so if they happen to be Gold, it's that extra slap in the face, because I always hated losing to Bronze.


Game 1

Game 2

Terran
Rank 5 Silver
60 Wins


+ Show Spoiler +
Wow, I remember reading this on TL, he went mass helions! the Terran made like 8 helions and pushed my base, he did some damage but I was able to get a foot hold and hold it off, I went roach to deal with it and he obviously transitions into
mass marines + thors, he does a lot of drop play which I lack much experience dealing with. His final push scares the living shit out of me and I am not in position to deal with it. I some how managed to win the game after yelling at my hands to let what my brain wants it to, and he GG's Thank F-ing god.


Game 2

Game 3
Terran
Rank 26
2 Wins

+ Show Spoiler +

This game was a lot longer then It needed to be, I could have done a lot better to end game sooner. Basically I deny his expos and I take the map, He turtles on 1 base with marines and tanks at his ramp and for about 15 minutes its me just rallying units to his base. My minerals exceeded that of Nestea in the Blizzcon finals. Not like I could Spend It all fast enough on like 8 bases.


Game 3

GLHF on your effort, I honestly think that getting out of the whole bronze/silver attitude of play (not necessarily by you, but by everyone else) is what often gives people a skill jumpset to climg up to higher leagues. Hell, on my EU account, once I got out of gold, I was in masters a month later, even though it took me 2 months to get to gold.

Just stay dedicated, and if you need help, just use TL.
I hate when people compare SC2 and rochambeu. One race isn't fucking supposed to counter another one. | Protoss isn't OP. Their units on the other hand....

Thanks bro, yeah Gold is where you start to learn the game, people start following the same builds as pros and it all becomes pretty easy. Bronze and Silver, we try, but its like learning to walk, you just dont quite get it right away, you get up, you fall, get up and fall, etc. its comes with time.

Btw. Happy Birthday!!

Good luck on your climb. I remember doing this in BW and how easily I lost motivation doing so. Don't give up, you'll make it :D
Skill is relative.

I don't think I'll lose motivation, I just need to keep pushing, I have not played a lot of games for past 2 days, but hoping today I'll feel like throwing a lot of games in.
