Hi

I guess I'll start a blog about my days of laddering StarCraft II, because that is what bloggers on TL do right ?
I will put replays in the post that you can watch if you want, and make a little description with spoilers about the games.
I am a EU Diamond Zerg hoping to get masters someday, and if I can entertain you with some games in the meanwhile, then why not ?
If you're in the lower leagues then you might even get to learn something :o

1.
ZvZ Tal'Darim Altar
This guy went for a 1-ish base baneling bust, I say that because he didn't get his hatchery before he attacked(he started it bu tit didn't finish).
I'm a little behind when he retreats, and I decide to go attack him, but he has spines and blings, but I manage to sneak 2 lings in his base and morph them into baneling and kill a few workers.
After that it's just macro, we both take a third, I go for Roach/Hydra with upgrades and he goes for mutalisk.
I spread my hydras to my two corner bases and make spores, he diecides to make blings outside my 3rd to try to kill the hydras, but he fails and I push out with 2/2 finishing and kill him.

2.
ZvZ Entombed Valley
Kind of the same as last game, except he took a hidden third and fourth and went for mutas, it ends up as a basetrade that I lose.
Sorry for the lack of detail, haven't looked into this replay to much.

3.
ZvZ Metalopolis
Short story, I go 7-pool, he dronescouts, I make two spines in his base (one of htem being a diversion while the other one finished), my lings arrive and my spine completes and I started the second one again.
He kills nearly all of my lings but I still have 1 spine and 1 finishing up and he has 1-2 lings and some drones, he leaves.
http://www.sc2replayed.com/replay-videos/16838

4.
ZvZ Shakuras Plateau
We go for similiar (identical?) openings, except that he plants his hatch earlier and goes for roaches while I scout his stuff and decide to mass speedling to try and get an advantage.
i kill his hatch and some roaches and a queen, I even morph two blings in his base and kill some drones with them. He starts flaming me for being all-in, I flame back. I go for 2/2 Roach/Hydra again because I thought he would go muta
(honestly I would go Raoch/Hydra anyway), he tries to snipe my third, I attack his army, he starts flaming again, I kill him and he leaves.
http://www.sc2replayed.com/replay-videos/16839

5.
ZvT Shakuras Plateau
Kind of long game so not to many details, I go 15hatch and he goes 1rax expand I think, he attacks with some marines and I hold wothput losing anything but lings and a queen.
I take my thrid and fourth witout much trouble, and when my fifth base finishes he pushes out with thors, marines, tanks and medivacs, I kill the push with ultras, infestors and bling/ling.
After some stuff happens, but I don't want to write down all of it here, watch the replay if you want. I win BTW.

ZvT Metalopolis
This game is kind of bad, as my mom was about to pull the plug on the internet (she does that) because she was going to bed, he bunkers my nat, I go for some roach rush and die ^^
http://www.sc2replayed.com/replay-videos/16841

4 wins out of 6 games, not too bad

Also, can anyone give some feedback on my ZvT? I feel good with Roach/Hydra in ZvZ and ZvP, but ZvT I'm not really so sure, and it would be awesome with some feedback on that, thanks
