So, unfortunately with me trying to graduate on time, I'm unable to play maybe as much as I'd like, but oh well, what can you do. spent Saturday with my gf, so I didn't play at all, but I woke up early Sunday to get some ladder in before my busy day. It looks like I'm only going to get one more post in before I'm going to start weekly updates, but I think I have a good foundation for later posts

Goal for End of Season: Platinum, world rank above 5,000
Goal for This Week: First in my gold division

Day 4

Starting Points: 171
Division Rank: 5
Overall Record: 20-13


I felt really good playing for most of the morning. Only having a couple hours, I didn't have too many games available to play, so I was hoping to make some improvement on my hotkey usage along with picking up some wins. Not too much to say so I'll just go into it.

Daily Record: 4-2
Race MU: 3-1(P), 1-0(T), 0-1(Z)
Vs. Leagues: 3-2 (Plat), 1-0 (Dia)

So first off, wtf a diamond?! It felt super awesome to pull the win off, but since it was a pvp I think it was a bit of a toss up. I was able to hide a probe in his main and warp in units up top when I rushed so it was pretty much gg from there. Besides that, not much to report as I didn't play many games.

My APM seems about normal, hasn't really gone up anywhere noticeable, I think mostly because I haven't been using my hotkeys. Part of the problem I think has to do with teaching myself to open 4 gate because it was the safest build to do while learning worker production and macro. Now I've come to a point where I need to start using hotkeys, but I need to have builds that utilize them.

I've seen a lot of people suggest 3 gate robo as a really safe build, so I'll probably give that a try. Anyone have any recommendations for builds that would help with hotkey usage aside from that?

I know I've been saying this for a couple posts in a row now, but hopefully I can finally start adjusting to hotkeys. The game where I have used them, it's been very sparse, and also usually because I'm forcing myself to. One of these days I'll swear I'll get it.

Ending Points: 235
Division Rank: 1
Gold Region Rank: 321
Gold Global Rank: 1594
