That's Right Folks I Got Promoted To Gold!

Due to the fact that I am now a Top 8 ( currently rank 6 ) Gold I need to change my title of the blog from " Road to gold " to "Road to Platinum" I will keep the same format of the previous blogs, you can find them here.

Game 1

Terran
Rank 6 Gold
106 Wins


+ Show Spoiler +
LOL, kk so during this match I am on skype talking to my friend about how we deal with FFE and I was like I just 14/14 into roaches. so here I am in the game going 14/14 and I relies after scouting that he was terran, after I knew he already was and was just distracted. So i'm like well if i get a hatch ill be to far behind, I'm going to 7 Roach rush. So I get it all ready and I have my drone make a hatch just out side his base, insta cancel and put a spine crawler down. The reasoning for this is I know he has a bunker so; he pull all his marines out to deal with it, or it attacks with my roaches and I break his wall faster. He went option 1 a bit to early for my roaches to get any good shots on the marines but I still managed to take out the bunker and marines and he rage quits. That was my first match as a Gold Zerg :D♥


Game 1 ZvT Cheese

Game 2

Zerg
Rank 87
4 Wins


+ Show Spoiler +
So this ZvZ i have been getting into a lot of baneling battles lately and so I went banelings again. He 10 pools and masses a ton of lings but luckily he sucks at microing them and they always died because of my beautiful banelings♥ So game progresses and all i want to do is be super aggressive with my banelings cause i know i'm doing a lot of damage. He gets ahead in drones and i only had 10, but i know I was still ahead. I eventually catch up by droning behind my ling attack and I win the game, but not before he calls me a cheeser. I didnt understand why till I watched the replay and noticed my drone count was really low.


Game 2 ZvZ Cheese?

Game 3

Protoss
Rank 3 Gold
34 Wins


+ Show Spoiler +
Alright so this game I did terrible.. I thought he was going to push so I over reacted and was behind by soooo much, and never caught up. This is how I used to play and I feel gross for doing it again. I need to work on droning, so in future games you will see me drone a bit harder, and you'll see more harass against toss.


Game 3 ZvP


I would Like to thank everyone who reads my blogs and special thanks for those who comment, means a lot to me when I see people taking time from their day to comment and motivate me or congratulate me on my Promotion. I will not be slowing down, I will be trying to get to Plat now, and then to Diamond! However I am going to stop playing for the day, and relax, I feel I deserved it!♥

Dude! that's great to hear :D keep on working hard, and keeping on making these blog updates. I don't usually comment, but I've read them all. Just thought I'd let you know you're not shouting alone into the darkness.

It's always nice knowing people actually read these. But its mainly to laugh at myself in a years time, the things I think are hard now will be nothing compared to what I'll be up against that I have no Idea, since Hots is coming out. Thank you to you and everyone who reads my blog, it means tremendously to me.

Gratz man! Have fun on your road, and remember to bring music and chips. And some overlords.

Dem overlords be important! I'm stoked that I got into gold because I get the next 4 days off work to just pound in as many ladder games as I can and see if my Match making rating can't make it to Platinum! It should not be that hard I don't think. I find Plat to be a useless league, to me its only a bridge dividing gold to diamond, and not a real stepping stone in skill. I could be wrong?
