congrats to you.

i personaly could kill someone sometimes just because of the fact i beat plat terrans and i am still in bronze.

the promoting system is a fucking joke imo. but glad to see someone beat it.

If you're taking games off terran plats, then you should be in plat, maybe other matchups are bringing your mmr down. I don't think the system is a joke although some players i played shouldn't be in the leagues they are in...

The promoting system rewards consistency and mass gaming. If you play a good midgame, but when a bunch of lings show up before the 4 min mark you freak out and die, the system sees you as a very inconsistent player. This is particularly exacerbated by playing fewer games.

For example, I'm Gold, but I consistently beat my diamond and platium friends in custom games. I know their playstyles and I'm always very,very calm and certain I will win, and I play extraordinarily well. I wish I could carry that attitude to my ladder games, because in ladder games I get really nervous sometimes (especially if i'm way ahead for some reason), or go on tilt, or start forgetting really important things after 15~ games (like my 3rd pylon. FUCK the 3rd pylon)... it makes my winrate and consistency very, very bad.

That said, I haven't played in 2 months, so maybe I can pull something like the OP and start laddering with some more confidence... I just want to win SO BAD, and forget to focus on being more consistent

In masters, I think timing attacks and expo timings play a huge role. Maybe if you work on that with tip-top macro, you might make it

I went though the B-Masters videos, but I can't handle toss all-ins, which is all they do in diamond. I don't play games vs toss that last longer than 15 mins anymore. How do you survive it all?
