 I live in the west coast, so when I play at night or after school around 5-9 PM or so, lots of Koreans are on. Yet I reach D- after every two nights or so and people don't want to play me because of my bad record. I /clearstats YES every week, but it doesn't really help. What to do, what to do. Theoretically I should be improving, right? I mean, playing during US morning/afternoon hours is easy enough, but at night it's time for the rape. This happen to all of you or just me? >_>" | ||

It sometimes helps to watch your replays. I usually wait a couple days and go back and watch a few so I forget what happened in all of them. That way I can look at my games with "fresh" eyes. | ||

I didn't think it would take this long for the ranks to settle though =/ How long do the seasons go for anyhow? I believe each season is 3 months long. | ||

It's not that I only want to rank up, but it's kinda hard to find good games when no one wants to play because of my rank. It is good practice, yes. I will have to disagree with you on the standard part though. I just recently switched to P because when I was Z, no matter what hour it was, I would get bunker rushed by T or 2 gate by P maybe 1 in every 10 or so games. It's become really annoying. I don't seem to experience that as P however. I never get cheesed anymore  | ||

I'm P, and the last two games on ICCup I played was a proxy 2-gate against toss and a bunker rush (don't ask me why he bunker rushed against a P, but he won!) | ||

Just have to think about the games you lose and actively think about improving mechanics, etc while you play. It sometimes helps to watch your replays. I usually wait a couple days and go back and watch a few so I forget what happened in all of them. That way I can look at my games with "fresh" eyes. Fuck...I completely forgot about actively learning, rather than passively... Back when I used to play warsow, before each game I used to decide on one key aspect of gameplay that I would improve. I eventually got good at warsow (not one of the best, as the best have been playing for 2 - 4 years or something, but competent), before quitting because of the small community, and SC2 being announced (Warsow is dying). Thanks alot for reminding me :D | ||
