EPTSoon after discovering i loved Starcraft 2, i quickly started searching for a clan to play with, to practice with, and to compete with. I found a little community that had a Starcraft 2 division, and quickly signed up. I was slightly nervous at first, but after joining the ventrilo server and chatting about random silly things, jokingly complaining of imbalance, and discussing builds, I found myself as part of the team.
This little community quickly disbanded (for a reason I still do not know, to this day), and many of our players spread out but kept in touch. I fled off with my "clique" from the clan containing players such as Hex, Deemo, and Slumdog. We quickly manifested our interests in a rather popular community type team called "Relentless Heroes". This proved to be very unsuccessful for us and we simply faded out of that "clan" or "community".
For what was probably about a month, we all kind of hung out in a deserted teamspeak server, playing occasional practice games and discussing tournaments and imbalance (as most others do). Some people from our old clan, IMG, began a new clan, but we had no part with them. Infact, we soon developed our own clan, merged with another clan, and quickly challenged them to a clan war, winning convincingly!
Besides all the clan and "team" concerns, I was simply coming home from school and playing my brains out on the ladder as a method of relaxation and it was just something to do. I enjoyed the shit out of it, and got better with the experience. The only problem with the situation was I desired strongly to progress to masters league to prove my level of play to others. I hated being viewed as some diamond scrub whose insight was useless and irrelevant. I was constantly playing players at a masters level on ladder, yet never once got promoted myself. My MMR, or hidden rating was so strange due to my mass amount of games being played with roughly a 60% win/loss ratio that it was having a difficult time placing me officially with masters players.
Eventually, I somehow pulled off the miracle of being promoted to masters league. I held that rank, and played and defeated many of my masters foes, but eventually fell victim to lack of motivation and began rapidly switching races. Lets discuss this "situation".
Quite frequently actually, i get into situations where i just want to give up on my race. I, for as long as i remember, have played terran. I played terran in season 1, where I got diamond with ~3200 points (almost pro-status at that point, masters and grand masters didn't exist). When i would lose frequently or just get bored with meta games, or get frustrated with mirror matchups i would attempt to switch races for a week at a time and it would usually fail miserably. These types of things really hurt my MMR on ladder and generally deteriorated my performance.
Now, in season 4, i have actually completely switched races from terran to protoss.
