hmm so much advice but somehow i feel urged to contradict!

Stop playing 2on2, stop switching races. Play at least 30games in a row, find out what you weakest matchup is and read / watch vids for that matchup for maybe 2-4 hours. Play another 30 games or something. Only if you experienced certain problems by urself, you truely understand the advice you get from reading / watching vids.

Switching races (and also playing other modes) can easily spoil your mechanics and game sense. It is great if you offrace every now and then, but switching entirely will you need almost 3times as much practice to get some timings on the point, because there are three times as many!

just try to stay consistent and you'll get promoted. I know that my mmr goes through a sine curve cause I only play on weekends so at the beginning of the weekend, I go down to gold, and then work back up to diamond by the end, but I never actually stay in one place long enough to get demoted/promoted haha. The system really wants you to have a 50/50 win/loss ratio, and so if that happens to you in platinum, then you'll get promoted
