So today for SC2, I was going to ladder more and more. I ended up playing around 10 games, and playing a whole bunch of custom games.

Laddering: I did decently today. I jumped up to division rank 5. I wanted to improve today on my ZvP. I did really well. I found a nice opener, but I still need to get better late game. All in all, I won more than I lost. I'm still dreading my ZvT as I am completely lost. If I don't do an all-in at the beginning, I lost there. But... I don't give up, and I don't all-in!! My ZvZ is still spot on, so not much work I need to do there.

Custom games: I enjoy playing these with my friends, but they are never on when I am. Luckily Joraiem was on today, so we played mafia and phantom. I won most of the time in mafia, but I lost in phantom. I was the phantom, while Joraiem was a slayer. I accidentally revealed that I was a phantom. Joraiem never attacked me until the end, but it didn't help either. I did most of the deceiving. I was able to kill everyone except for Joraiem at the end, where it came down to a base race as his army of mutas/broodlords were closer to my base than my army of ultras/roaches were further from his. Horrible planning on my part, but who cares because it was so much fun.

Tomorrow I am going to work mostly on my ZvT. For now though I will play some 2v2s with Joraiem and cheese our way through it.

Note: Valorous Demise is our clan name, read my post blogs for more info on the name/adventures.

Rudolph, you're doin' great, man. I'm glad you're not only practicing a ton, but also taking a break every now and then because you're not used to playing so much. That's awesome, and I only wish I could be there to play with you.
