Oh yeah. Witty title. For some reason, got it from here.



Weird Al is a genius.

OK. So this is a short summary. I played 240 games this season. Basically said 'screw it, this season I'm getting masters.' I did school, got home, laddered, was really nolifing hard here But it worked...

Going into my nolifing TvP was my best matchup, TvT my middle, and TvZ my worst. Things have inverted, in part to an excellent and fairly standard hellion marine +1 stim medivac push.

TvP my 5 rax no gas finally started to fall flat. Then I tried some random funky stuff. Won sometimes if protoss was greedy. Didn't if they weren't.

TvT I played marine tank. Generally won, except if they went mech and didn't die early.

I've been study at top 400 diamond in north america for several weeks now. And then thanks to epic motivation from Suppy managed to go on a nice win streak, and on my last game today before I was going to call it a break for the AP Calculus BC test. And then. Magically. After defending a base race...

I forgot to screencap. Damn.

Anyways. Here are some screencaps As you can see I got excited.

LuckyFool tolerates my overexcitedness



Not sure whether it was good or bad I wasn't this excited...

Feel screwed for calc test, but it's ok.

Special thanks to LuckyFool for tolerating my frequent and frustrating Froadac updates and giving me epic build advice, Suppy for being a baller and motivation, and random people on ladder for doing so many all ins I eventually figured it out.

I'll coach anybody gold or below for free for an hour after AP testing. woohoo.

And Slayersmin is in my masters division. Woohoo..

Furthermore, I am going to enter into diamond only dailies to 1) get stomped, and 2) get stomped by pros.

There we are, I've been diamond every season UNTIL NOW. KIWEJt iowut r

Congratulations! I have (had) a similar goal this season since I was about mid-diamond, but went on somewhat of a losing streak and started playing against low diamonds and some high plats and now I'm scared to ladder again, fearing a repeat of 2 seasons ago when I was in plat and went on a losing streak before season's end and got demoted to gold I went back up rather quickly anyway once I got back into it, but ladder anxiety is still getting to me.... Maybe next season, when finals will be over and I'll have more free time. Anyway, enough about me, this is your time to be awesome, congratulations!

Thanks. :D I flew up and down between mid diamond and low mid masters. I just kept on going and going :D

Nice job dude...that's gotta feel fucking great with all the practice and games you have been doing! Pretty sick that you have the wolf and luckyfool to give you some guidance as well!

I'll coach anybody gold or below for free for an hour after AP testing.

Cool story... If you are insinuating that is me, many things have improved a ton, most of which have contributed to me being more efficient/having more free time/getting masters.

Congratulations on getting promoted to masters!! I'm really proud of you for finally getting there, and I'm glad that you took the time to post this on reddit so I could get the opportunity to wish you luck in your future ladderings in your brand new league!! If anyone else wants to post when they get promoted to another league, please make a thread about it so that I can congratulate you as well!! ^ __^

I didn't mean it in a condescending way at all but I guess you could interpret it that way. I'm sorry if I offended you. Congratz on your promotion; It was already long over due.
