Hey all I just wanted to update since I have not been playing a lot today. I will be practicing a lot in the next couple hours because I signed myself up for the Z33k BSG Daily tourney. I want to test my new found skills against others in a tournament style setting. I know its not like its a major tourney or anything, but this is a foot step into what I would call a minor dream of mine, and that is to compete in sc2 tournaments and join a pro team. I know this is silly of me since I am only Gold, but its always nice to have a dream Although this is not my soul purpose in life. Next year i plan on attending college to be a game programmer with hopes of one day working for Blizzard. again, a highly doubtful but inspiration dream of mine.

So after a few days of " being in a rut " I have come to terms that I have just hit a wall in my skill. It happens to everyone, and even the pro's. From here, I have to play extra good and improve like I did when I was playing at a low Silver level. I have to take time to set aside my ego and wanting to win every and lose a few for the better good. The better good would be me droning, scouting, spending money, and working on my injects. I will be playing vs a lot of friends and hopefully be able to practice said skills to improve my overall laddering experience!

I am please to say that even though I hit the wall, I am still up against low platinum players. So long as I continue to beat them I will rise through the MMR system and behold the true potential I hold within.

My overall goals, for long term and short are as follows ;

Reach Diamond before ladder resets - Ladder resets Decmeber 14ish, i know it is not a great goal to want to get promoted, however It ties in with my other goals.

Improve my droning dramatically
- By doing so, I will have a better mid- late game army, and be able to win most of my games due to better macro.

Improve injects
- By doing so , I will have less money and more units/drones to fend off of early/mid/late game pressures.

Spend my money!
- With the increased drones and inject timings, I will have more money then i'll be able to handle, my goal is to spend that money and maintain under 1k the whole game. ( reasonable goal for late game )

With all that said and done, I'll be posting games in the regular format.

Game 1

Zerg
Rank 21 Gold
Wins 12


+ Show Spoiler +
I wanted to try the ever so famous Destinys unbeatable ZvZ build, in the past when I tried I would always lose to something like mass lings and that's so annoying. I tried it with droning in mind and I was able to will off a win. I will continue to work on this 2 lines of roaches push and see how far this build can bring me.


Game 1

Game 2

Terran
Rank 4 Gold
68 Wins


+ Show Spoiler +
The Terran buddy opens with mass banshee, luckily I scouted it and was able to get spores up in time, he did however take out all my queens which kind of sucked. I got a few mutas up and I cleaned them up. I then transitioned into my regular mass lings and cleaned up his forces. I was mainly focusing on macro this game, I droned harder at my third that i dont normally do very well at and was able to have a good income. I need to focus a lot more on getting other units other then lings, a few festors and I would be set.


Game 2

Game 3

Zerg
Rank 2 Silver?
32 Wins


+ Show Spoiler +
Silver, huh, alright, ill take the easy win. He said he was silver, i didnt believe him obviously. I just played standard and was able to pull off an easy win. I did 2 lines of roaches made a few extra and then just sling reinforce. I have to find a way that I can not get supply blocked doing this build every time i make a line of roaches. hmm.


Ps. I want a Diablo 3 beta key boo.

game 3

Just work on what ever it is your lacking, for me its always been droning, and once i started to improve on it it changed the game for me and I was able to get from low silver to low plat in less then half a season. I am going to continue to work on things I lack until I am #1 GM in like 40 years -.- lol!

Having clearly defined goals is the first step to improvement. You're doing great!

Gotta have dem goals! without them there is no point in trying to improve because your not trying to do anything. Atleast with goals in mind your working towards fixing them!!!1
