I hit Masters today. It's a pretty cool achievement, after being diamond due to frequent multi-week breaks and non-dedicated playing since 2010.

What makes it even more special is that it happened (well, in Korea it did) on my birthday. So, hooray. : )

I also think I'm getting a pretty good grasp on Marine/Tank TvZ off of a Hellion/Banshee opener. TvP is a constant thorn in my side, though. When I secure an economic lead I never seem to make the right amount of marauders except for when I win crushingly due to good engagements anyways...

TvT is a toss-up.

EDIT:

Heart of the Swarm Beta invite in my email.

LOL.

THIS JUST GOT SO GOOD!

After all this time, I still haven't figured out the correlation between sexual orientation and beating an unprepared opponent. Are homosexuals the next koreans? Many players seem to think it's an unfair advantage. - pandaburn
