Continuing from my previous blog.
Day 4: I didn't play too many games on day 4. Played a small amount of games before I hit C rank and took a break.
34-13; Rank: C
Day 5: I kept fighting to maintain my C rank while series-gaming with, yet again, another terran who kept on steamrolling me in straight-out wins (I got 0-4'ed). I managed to rack up a few wins, however, to keep my C rank steady. Still, I ate up my fair share of losses today. Was worse than when my mom forced me to eat brocolli.
41-23; Rank: C
Day 6: Well, everything was going absolutely fine today! Everything...except for running into another 0-4 series with this one korean zerg. Hey, at least it wasn't a terran this time. Despite my losses, I wasn't upset because honestly, pvz isn't so bad compared to pvt where you feel like you're fighting against a moving brick wall. I made up for those losses by winning the rest of my games today. Strike that; I remember now that I just lost a damned pvt (surprise).
48-28; Rank: C
Notes: Despite my unsatisfactory games, I'm rather pleased with my progress. I'm starting to understand the mechanics of the protoss race better as I continue my sessions on iccup. I'm still trying to figure out how to correct my mistakes against terran users by watching my replays, which is something I haven't done in the past. Also, I'm glad I'm unaffected by the "Lose few games, lose rest of the games" curse. I just have to do something about those loss-series...

you do not seem to suck 'that' much =P.
Eunyou seems like a really good zerg, probably B+/A- level. I guess you'd probably stuck at C+ for a while though. Climbing through the B ranks is hell even for very good players. As for myself I usually give up at B- and get a new account, mainly because it's hard to find games on B- and up.

Yeah I definately understand the "Lose few games, lose rest of the games" curse. It's so annoying to loose a couple of games in a row and then your mind starts to think you're playing all wrong and you fuck up and go 0-10 and hate everything

Wow your pvp is good, you should make a guide for people like me... pvp is soo hard ><

Yes, I'm too familiar with it. I used to have that going all the time back in my earlier gaming days, especially when I played pgt. Under those circumstances, I'd lose a few games, then continue losing because my play becomes desperate and (not-so-effectively) cheesy.
It's not that bad, though, once you learn to calm down. When that feeling starts to come over me, I remind myself that losses come naturally with the mass practice, especially since I'm training in a ladder. I just take my losses as they come, and calmly analyze what I did wrong so I don't make the same mistake twice. It's pretty much all psychology, in my opinion.

To be honest, I'm quite inexperienced in the pvsp matchup. I have a few builds that I'm familiar with, which explains my record. I'm working now to fix that though :o

amagad Kijun keep it up :D Get to the B's asap and we will battle to the death ;
Good job so far, glad to hear that you didn't quit starcraft completely ^_^

The "lose few games, lose rest of the games" is a nasty curse I'll tell ya.
I've actually managed to go 0-11 once, never felt so crappy as I did then.
Anyways, cool intitiative, the blog is a great idea to keep you motivated too  I hope you'll continue winning and climb up to B-/B level ;D
