However, I've always wondered how far I can go with one of my offraces. I was first thinking of Zerg, but ZvZ seems hard from watching and I'm not good at dealing with blings when I have zerglings which made me try my luck with Terran. Luckily, I got a guest pass today, so I did my placement matches which I want to share with you.
Game 1:

AlanFort (T) vs AlBaTar (Z) [unranked] @ Metalopolis
Description: Standard TvZ. Bunker rush -> hellions. Lots of dead drones. Some bm from the opponent.

AlanFort (T) vs Fatih (T) [unranked] @ Tal'darim Altar LE
Description: 4 marines + 1 hellion pressure with mediocre micro into 1-1-1 expand. Some bm from the opponent.
The reason I have wall is that he was random, but I failed with building placement.

Game 3:

AlanFort (T) vs Disky (T) [gold] @ Tal'darim Altar LE
Description: 4 marines + 1 hellion pressure once again, but it did much more damage this time. I feel my kiting was bad, but
I still managed to kill that guy easily.

Game 4:

AlanFort (T) vs ModifiedDuck (Z) [silver] @ Entombed Valley
Description: Classic TvZ. Bunker rush into hellions. I managed to salvage both bunkers, but the guy was kinda unlucky
with his queen block because I entered with my hellions. GG.

Game 5:

AlanFort (T) vs XaaX (Z) [platinum] @ Shakuras Plateau
Description: My opening was 2 rax pressure, but it eventually failed. I think what was good for me is I forced lots of zerglings and some supply block.
After that, it became relatively standard. Hellions -> marines/tanks/medivacs.

Although I didn't expect anything above platinum because of low level opponents, I got that shiny diamond league message.
I'm still unsure whether I'm really diamond, but I'll play a few more games before that account expires.
Anyways, if you have advice regarding my terran, please share so I can improve it. I don't usually like PvP, so I'd love to know another race so I can avoid PvP outside ladder.
Oh and... happy new year guys!
Edit: Nice terran song which I just found yesterday
