WOOOT I GOT PROMOTED TO MASTERS TONIGHT (HotS ladder)

I'm not really that excited, the feeling is just more like "well, finally", but at the same time I'm surprised i got promoted at all

I've played exactly 50 games in HotS (with 32 wins), and I haven't beaten 1 master, in any of the games, I played against 3 masters, and lost to all of them. seems strange to me that I got the promotion, but hey, I'm not complaining.

The game that got me promoted wasn't particularly interesting, I held a protoss' DT harassment without too much trouble, counterattacked with MMM, killed his colossus tech and a decent amount of workers, then rebuilt an army and ended the game.

that's all from me, I'm going to go to bed for the night, and I'll probably stream some games tomorrow

Gratz dude. Were u masters in Wings?

No, I got rank1 diamond for a period of time, but hovered around top 25 diamond most of the last couple seasons, I lost my passion for a while and just watched without playing any games

I got promoted to Diamond after winning my first 9 games. I got promoted because the guy DC in the first 2 minutes of the game.

Congrats. The most exciting times for me in SC2 was when I started out in masters league. When I progressed to high master/low grandmaster level it got too stressful, so I quit

Same. Moving up through Masters was great fun. Then you realize you have to start playing 6+ hours if you really want to progress and all the things you have to fix are these tiny little shitty things and you lose games because of very frustrating reasons :/

So essentially, OP just fucked himself/herself by getting promoted.

Naw I don't get stressed, permanently chill guy, I'll ladder about the same amount as I always do, and hopefully improve.
I don't believe I'll ever reach GM, but if i can hang around top25 that would be nice
