Finally reaching master level was very unreal moment today. I had lingered platinum/diamond level throughout WoL and had long breaks from the game that prevented me from progressing further.

TvZ feels better than ever, most of the games go for 15min+ games with 3+ bases and constant action around the map. While I occasionally die to roach busts in 7min mark or die to ultras when my +2/+2 push gets delayed too much, I still find it the most exciting matchup.

TvP is about the same as in WoL, battles are still stressful as small mistakes can cost the game due to aoe damage wiping out terran army in seconds. Oracle/mines are nice addition to the early game, I wish I learn how to recognize oracle opening from the rest of 2gas possibilities soon.

I hate TvT. I really do. I loved it in WoL as it was very complex and strategies varied from bio-biomech-mech with transitions to air and so on. Now it feels that I always get the worse end of the stick and get killed by 2rax reaper or hellbat drops. I rarely get instantly killed, but I either take too much damage, or turtle too much with 2 bases as I'm not sure if opponent is going all-in or not. It feels really frustrating when I lose and can't figure out what to do differently to deal with the opponent's strategy properly.

Happy HoTS everyone!

Congratz ^^ It seems like just about everyone is a league higher in HOTS than they were in WoL. I think everyone on my friends list that was diamond and under moved up at least 1 league.

I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.
