I'm going to start with bad news. Our friend, Fluffy, joined a skype call with Joraiem and I Monday night at 10:30pm. He told us that his mom is kicking him out of his house. He is moving in with his dad in New Hampshire, while we are stuck in Michigan. He won't have a phone there, or a computer to get skype or play Starcraft two with us! We don't know when we will be able to speak to him again. but, we hope to speak with him soon. That night, we played as much Starcraft as possible, staying up until 4 in the morning. We played mafia and desert strike along with a lot of team games and a few 1v1s. I played him twice, both times being a ZvZ. The first time he put a nydus network in my base that I didn't realize, and won. The second time we played it turned into a ling/bling micro war, something he is far superior to me in. I was keeping up with him though, and for a short time beating him until I made a fatal error. I morphed my lings into banelings outside his base, and then he ran all of his lings to my base while my banelings were still morphing. I made spine crawlers and sent my remaining lings to defend, but it was over by then as he sent suicide lings into my banelings. The score at the end was even, except he had an extra 100 on me.
Now for laddering, the previous days I played only four ladder games. I won 1/4 each day, and usually quit out of frustration. But, today was different! I started off by winning my first game, which was against a terran. then. I lost twice to terran. I won against a zerg, then lost again to a terran. I quit laddering, then a few hours later I gave it another shot. I won 5 games in a row! The first 4 were against terran, so I was extra excited, while my last one was against a protoss trying to DT rush me, then transitioning into collossus. I stopped the DTs after scouting the Dark Shrine, and proceeded to stomp him. He BMed me, then left the game.
Overall, it has been a very poor week so far, but I hope things brighten up soon! Thanks for reading!
