Okay so since the beginning of Starcraft II, I have tried my best to improve. The first time I got into Diamond was amazing but short lived, later dropping back down to Platinum. The first time I ever beat a Master Leaguer was against a zerg going muta ling, where back then, there was no immortal all in push like the one we see now a days.

When I became the manager for my university's CSL team, they told me one thing, if your going to be a manager/coach, you should get yourself into masters, well...

[image loading]

Man this has been such a long time coming! They placed me into top 20 Masters, WOOOOT! Now all i need to do is figure out how to beat zergs in a new interesting way

First off, congrats!! Making Masters is no easy feat, and you should be proud!!

That said, don't put too much stock in "top 20 masters". It doesn't really mean anything if you get placed into a relatively new division after the season has been going along for a while. For an extreme example, this guy (http://www.sc2ranks.com/us/3684788/DuStCruSha) is rank 20 in his division, but has 811 points, whereas #1 in your division has 493 points. Your 322 points, according to SC2ranks, puts you at #3,635/8,801 masters league players, or about 41/100 on average. So while you are technically "top 20 masters", in the average masters league division, you'd be ranked #41.

In any case, welcome to Masters, and congrats again!

Grats, I've personally always slacked in 1v1 (only 100 wins with my race) and always went teamgames / customs for fun. Promised myself to get masters during Christmas period :p

Grats... that said, now your playing struggles really begin.

Being masters sucks balls... low masters and below everythings simple and easy, now you need to deal with hardcore metagame and nuance...

Skill gaps from ~300 to ~800 points masters is big and the skill gap is even larger from ~800 to ~`1100 and ~1100 to ~1500 masters.

Grats, now you will be ready to improve faster. See I had my noob period in BW, just as you had yours in SC2. When SC2 came out I was insta top 500, and eventually go GM a few times too. So, let's see what you can do with HotS if you are so inclined o.o

You may look back at how you played and chuckle. My play in BW makes me -_-.

Oh, that's interesting, they removed the bias but new division creation still skews your rank. That's not something I had thought of.

I feel this. I'm actually hoping to get from ~750 points to high masters level and have my noob period in sc2 and wait for the next fairly popular RTS to come out and be a top player on it for fun
