4gated to silver 4gated to gold 4gated to platinum 4gated to diamond finally learned how to build more than 24 probes, and then this happened! (actually it happened my promotion game was a PvP on steppes of war... I tried the old 'pvp build that made huk hate ladder on korea', and it actually worked) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rfiGF.jpg) About two weeks later i got demoted, and haven't laddered seriously since  Now since summer is done and CSL is starting up, i'm finally going to push back into masters! | ||

But my desire to play got crushed when i got a job, as i don't like to do anything halfhearted, i'd rather just not do it at all. | ||

Silver-Platinum: i started screaming because i thought it was so cool. I said to myself "Finally i'm not terrible anymore, i can cruise around and be in platinum league forever" (This was by the time diamond was the highest league) Platinum-Diamond: Oh my god, i'm becoming so pro at this. This is the same league the pros are at(At the time, i didn't realize how huge of a difference it was between the low and high diamond) With the introduction of Master League i was shocked i wasn't in it. Then came a huge realization that i had to practice alot harder. Then when i finally arrived to Master League i was like "FUCK YEAAAAAAH!" | ||

When SC2 came out I threw my placement games, got put in bronze (on purpose ), macroed my way to Diamond in like a week and then quit SC2. At the end of Season 2 I found out there was a masters league and wanted to be in it so I started SC2 again. Was demoted after my placement -_- (ppl got good lol)... Started Season 3 as Plat. Got promoted back into Diamond yesterday!! Want to get Masters before Season 3 is over. | ||

Silver-Gold: In Silver people started to do wierd all-ins which my expo style just died to, so i needed to get a new build. I saw Husky making a guide for 4-gate, and thought this was my build ^^ I pretty much 4 gated my way to Gold. Gold-Plat: Was almost the same as Silver-Gold. I 4-gated and got to Platinum in a couple of weeks. Plat-Gold: In Platinum people knew how to defend 4-gate so i was demoted back to Gold. I was crushed The same evening i played in a tournament, where i met a really good player. He was Diamond back then. I lost horribly but after the tournament we spoke together, and we played alot. He was my first "friend" in Starcraft. He gave me a lot of tips, and i was able to fight my way to Platinum again!Platinum-Diamond: With the coaching, from my friend it was no problem to make the jump from Platinum-Diamond. It only took like 2 weeks, but when i saw that promotion thing pop up.. I jumped up from the chair and started dancing xD (This was back when Diamond was the highest league) Diamond-Masters: Now this was a hard one. I played hundreds and hundreds of games. No promotion. I got rank 1 Diamond. No promotion. Played tons of Masters but still no promotion. I think i played 2000 games in Diamond (with custom games). I was rank 4 Diamond in the whole freaking world, before my promotion! I remember the game like it was yesterday. I log on like normaly and search for a game. I played vs a Zerg. I give him the normal "gl hf". 2 seconds after he left. Promotion. I was completely speechless :D Now im high masters hoping to get into GM in s4! Sorry for long post/wall of text | ||

Then I learned how to 4 gate and 4 gated my way up to gold. I stayed at gold for some months, trying to improve my macro and once my macro started getting better I got promoted to platinum before the summer. I haven't play that much since then but the few games I've played were all macro games(besides some people trying to cannon rush me or whatever because it usually ended with me 4 gating them). | ||

Needless to say I started out low Bronze, deservedly so. I chose Zerg because they looked to coolest to me, but the first half of season 1 was about getting completely owned by Reapers all day. Eventually I said "eff it" and joined the dark-side (Terran). By the end of season 1, I barely managed to crack Gold with Terran using the MMM build day in day out. Season 2 it was a climb, but I managed to hit Platinum for the first time as Terran, using the same MMM build. Eventually I got bored and stopped playing SC2 for about 30 weeks. Came back as Zerg and got demoted from Platinum back to Gold because doing that MMM build all day didnt really improve my SC2 mechanics or game sense. After struggling a bit at the start of season 3, I hit my stride as zerg and now am on the verge of promotion to Diamond for the first time. TL:DR> Started bronze, no RTS exp, MMM my way to Plat, switched to zerg, demoted to gold, Rank 1 Plat now on verge of Diamond. | ||

I eventually moved to silver. First game I was cannon rushed, but held  Then I was gold. I remember my last gold league game I demolished a Terran with hts and zealots. Plat I don't remember much, only that I got promoted to diamond. Just this season I got masters in my placement (after seeing I was top .5% of NA diamonds during the lock I knew I was getting promoted anyway haha) by beating a Zerg with a sick brood lord timing. I hit as his stuff was morphing and killed like 10 broods. I proceeded to roll him over. So yeah thats my story | ||

season1. Qualified to gold ( won 3 or 4 of 5 games), 20-30 games and qualified into plat. ~50-65 games in plat and ended up in diamond where I remained for the 2nd season, and for the 3rd as well... Bottomline : wc3 experience allowed me to get to diamond nearly instantly, but master league needs a lot more than the basic knowledge... builds must be refined, attention and motivation reinforced. idk if i can ever make it there, although there are sooo many noobs who i beat easily in master who have 2k+ games while i still have 600 | ||
