Yes for some this may simply mean that I am a little tiny bit less of a scrub but for me it is a big achievement XD

Yeah I played brood war but I was that guy, you know the one who only makes Void Rays? well I was that guy in brood war, I only made lurkers, burrowed them in the middle of the map and hoped to Christ that he didn't have detectors :D I believe that my ICCUP record at the end of my around 3 months of playing it was about 1-60ish? XD, god did I love dem Lurkers...

So I figure that I might as well make a tribute to my last game in ye olde bronze league so that this blog doesn't get deleted due to lack of content XD

Looks like a nice good old standard game right?

Well you would be wrong XD

Now I know what you are thinking, "But CraDieN DTs can be a perfectly standard form of mid game protoss harassment" well ok...

but not when there are this many of them

So while I am floating 6k minerals he has 18 gateways XD

Then wrap it all up with some good ol' fashioned BM

The song that played during the closing moments of the game as quite fitting I believe, Oceanlab's Miracle, a very mellow song

ok it's about global warming but w/e it's still fitting for the moment XD

Stay tuned for next week when CraDieN presents, "Grandmaster League"

are you hoping for a miracle
as the ice caps melt away?
No use hoping for a miracle
There's a price we'll have to pay

yup, that must be nice. Every time you log in to battle net, instead of seeing that dirty brown colour you'll have a nice shiny silver badge

.

Next up gold!!

Deciding to attack in the form of DTs at 15 minutes? Sounds like a macro game to me.

I remember my bronze -> silver promotion.

Guy left 4 seconds into the game

Such an achievement for me, truly!

EDIT: Seriously, I remember this dude's name to this day, right off the top of my head. PhonBacon. This was a right of passage!
