Hello Team Liquid, my name is Blake, but all my in game aliases are astroorion. Right now I am a bronze player with 542 points. I know I don't seem good, but I win over 50% of my games. The only reason I'm in bronze, is because my 5 placement games were my first 5 games ever. I'm making this blog to chronicle my journeys from bronze to platinum. I will update each day I play with my record for that day and how I feel I did. Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from all of you what you think.

Hello astroorion, I'm sorry to inform you but your bronze to platinum progression TL blog doesn't interest many ppl. It's not fun, it's not cool, it doesn't involve girl advice and it has no pictures. Maybe if this was not written like it's a gift wish list to santa claus from a 7 year old it would be better.
Maybe you should wait and find something interesting to talk about b4 posting.

Don't take it to harsh.

GL getting to plat (why not diamond? lol)

Thanks ziz and mardi. As for ScDeluX, sorry this might not interest you right now. Since of your comment, I will now add pictures and I can include advice every so often if you would like. I will also include links to replays. I picked plat because if I can get there that is fine with me, once I get there, I will be concerned with diamond

I just click on random blogs that make the top 5 list, so I make no promises to follow you, but I think it's fair for you to chronicle this. I was a D SC:BW player but with about 10 days' dedication I got to diamond in SC2. Watch pros play as much as you play yourself. That being said, just play a shittonne of games; you will find out quickly what does and does not work.

If you're not trying to be pro, you only need like 50 apm to get to diamond - believe me, that's all I have (as a game average ... I peak at like 200, but what does that matter).
Eagerly awaiting Techies.

Don't say Platinum, say Diamond. That's your straight-through goal.

You've chosen wisely by giving your life for Aiur. Good luck on your journey through the ranks, but don't sell yourself short, aim for diamond!
