Hey guys
You may not remember, but I've made a blog recently that my 1vs1 ladder fear is gone.
http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=281212

So what now?
Well, today I'm happy to say that my effort wasn't in vein as I've been promoted.
Here are some screenshots:

Finally! I started to think that promotion is broken, but I guess I was wrong.

Slightly less important though, I'm full master a.k.a master in all leagues:

Concerns
However, I think I probably should make 2 decisions. One is, I think, I still have too many team games, so I should decide if I should continue to play them with friends or not. On the other hand, I find it nice that I can play a few games just to warm up or relax, but that doesn't mean giving up 1vs1.
The final concern is to decide if I should change my nick to a different one because some people keep telling me it's unoriginal and what not. However, I really like it and it also represents a bit of my character. To be honest, I'm leaning towards keeping it so far as I think I can't come up with something much better which is not already used.

Goal?
Well, my new goal is simple (or is it?): keep playing 1vs1 unlike some people once they get promoted and maintain my Master league (e.g. not to get demoted).

The end
That's all for now. Thanks for reading!

I'm not sure, but I think something like 10-15. Btw, don't people say it doesn't matter what rank you have? ^^

Congrats on getting over your ladder fear and getting better! I am high masters player, matched against low/mid GM players, and I play 2v2 games to warm up.

Really good way of getting ready to 1v1.
