So i just got into Platinum after around 180 games. i switched too zerg at the start of season five, i dropped down too gold from mid diamond. i played terran and i was getting bored of the game.
my tvt was really good and my tvp wasnt bad but my tvz was around 15% win rate. so i thought why don't i change over too zerg.(cant beat em join em!) ;D

so i did at the time i also found a clan named Blizz gaming some of the better players in the clan helped me out with build orders and even did some coaching while i played over my stream so big thanks too them. i find that when i played terran i knew so little about the game and switching too zerg
has changed my whole out look on the game so if you ever find yourself getting bored of starcraft or anything like that trying mixing it up a bit i know it helped me out:D

so am really happy about getting promoted. now the real fight starts :D this is also my first post after 3-4 years of being a lurker :D


Few replays

ZvP i had some clan mates helping me out.
first is the best game of starcraft i have ever played and it happen when i was in gold :O

second is me holding off a 4gate, i seen him move out with units so i knew i had too start making roaches. i won and got into platinum i know there only gold replys but enjoy them all the same:D
also seeing as this is my first post and i don't know what am really doing let me know if anything needs fixed or what i can do better next time thank you.

Just curious... Were you on a huge win streak when you got into plat? I went like 10-0 and i just started consistently being matched with plats, at first it said they were slightly favored now it says teams even. I would say I win more than I lose against them. Maybe ill get a promo soon ? : )

Congrats! Enjoy your stay, I most certaintly did. Platinum is the league where half the players finally realize how to play standard and half do.. the same thing as in gold ^^
At least, that's what I experienced.. but ladder was always wonky for me, so you might get different results.
