If you ever read my first blog post, then you know who I am. I am a fellow Starcraft player just like you. And today was my first day ever owning a SC2 account and playing on it.

Now, before I begin, I will talk about my experience. I played Starcraft Broodwar, but I was horrible at it. I have played Starcraft 2 before at a friends house, but I never won.

Today I received SC2, and I was ready for action. I played two 3v3s which I won, thanks to a my friends. One was a mono battle. I then played 1v1s with them. I played Joraiem first, and I won to my surprise. I beat my rival. I was happy. I then proceeded to lose to Fluffy.

I played my placement matches and went 1-4. I played two gold, one silver, a high bronze, and a low bronze. I beat the low bronze. Three of these matches were ZvZ, my worst matchup. It came down to a base race against one of the gold players, the zerg, but I ultimately lost because he had +2 attack and I had +1 attack. Much to my surprise I was placed into Silver!!

This is an amazing day.

Hearing the enthusiasm of new players is really encouraging. I totally second that sentiment about whiny masters. People need to stop being so fucken damn bitter and just enjoy the game like you.

Btw, how do you vote 5/5 on a blog? Sorry I am newb to TL.

Haha, I completely agree, I remember I worked my way up from high silver to mid diamond right now actually, and tbh I think I liked the manner silvers better than the whiny "oh my god tvp is impossible" mid diamonds and high plats.
