Just a losing streak. Looking at your record, you've had a few before, this is just your longest. Makes sense considering all the koreans in there and your hiatus. Don't get discouraged, just try to have fun and keep it up.

The D- to D+ ranks aren't as clear as other ones. There is the possibility that you just ended up playing people better than you were used to.

Either way: Play more.

You first need to buy some infrared vision goggles which allow you to see the hidden arrows all around you which will point the way to a dark dungeon where you will overcome 7 potentially lethal obstacles on your way to meeting the great sensei. Then you will prove your worth to him by standing under a waterfall for 8 hours straight without complaining or flinching, and at last he will agree to teach you for the next 15 years of your life. After learning to walk on knives and move things with the power of your brain you will be ready for your ultimate mission, to infiltrate airport security by twisting people's necks with your bare hands, hijack a plane bound for London, and pilot it to Seoul, Korea instead. Anti aircraft weaponry will try to shoot you down, but you will parachute safely to the ground and vanish into the night air. You must then go via the sewers to the SKT practice house, where you must meet IntoTheRainbow, Hyuk, and finally Bisu in single combat. If you defeat them you must answer Midas's riddle correctly, and then you will be granted passage to Boxer's room, where you must cut out his heart with a butter knife and eat it.

Then, and only then, will you reach D+.

Or you can

Wow man, your PvP is abysmal.

Why does everyone worship that crappy anime? I admit it started out as hilarious and fun but then it just went over the top and became really shitty.
Complete the cycle!

seems like you get the most losses in pvp. prolly means that you are lacking basic mechanics like keeping up/perfecting your macro early on or you micro too bad in fights and thats why u loose a lot of games before the 10min mark.

watch your replays and analyze what your opponents did better than u did. try to get better after seeing your own mistakes. thats the only way. naturally there will be stuff which you cant do better in an instant and THAT requires training then which means play more games witht the focus on avoiding those mistakes.

so basically:
if you loose a lot in pvp mirror its usually is rooted in bad BASIC control micro/macro/scouting->bo. im saying "basic" cuz you dont need "good" micro/macro to win in D/D+/C-.

The entire thing is a throwback to oldschool super robot over the top animes. Its purpose is to be over the top and silly.

In the same way that Eva (also Gainax) had ridiculous amounts of emo weeping, Gurren Lagann had ridiculous amounts of macho posturing.

Or rather one might answer

Even if the Infinite Universe were to go against us, our burning blood will cut through fate! We'll break through the heavens and dimensions! We'll show you our path through force! Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann!

Your PvZ especially PvP seems to cause the most losses, I would read liquipedia and learn the standard openings and how to play those MU's then you just have to practice it and learn to execute it while still scouting and adapting to your opponent but that depends if your skill is really bad. Then you should just macro, 1a2a3a and hope for the best OR just cheese. -___-

Try not to focus on your actual rank, while It does matter a little bit, what really matters is how much you are learning and improving. Like others have suggested in this thread, PvP seems to be your weakest matchup. While I don't have any specific advice, just play each game like you want to improve something specific and don't worry about your rank! Losing is an opportunity to learn!
