I was once a bronze league nub, well I went to this page http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/6_Pool and now I am GM on every server, it was really sudden. First I got GM in North America, I couldn't help myself so I got GM on EU and KR as well.

I started in bronze at launch, took a break during the second semester of the school year following that, then got promoted to masters on the 1 year anniversary of Starcraft II release (July 27th 2011). Currently doing college applications so no ladder for me

No previous RTS experience - I'd say it took me a pretty long time to get up to masters. However, I am proud of the fact that I stuck with it instead of quitting like 90% of my friends did.

1 year to get me from Bronze to Diamond. Probably much slower than most people. I haven't had any RTS experience before other than defence games in BW. I was never a person who sat down and played any games for more than 10 hours total. Happy I am submersed in sc2 :D

I am also playing against a few master players too. Hopefully, it will be less than another year to get me to masters.

damn 1 year. hahha it took me 1 week to get to masters and it was my 1st pc game.


Interesting. It's odd, because when I look you up on SC2Ranks it looks like you started back around September '10 and didn't get Masters until Feb '11. That's 5 months.
In season one you were Diamond with over 600 wins, which means likely over a thousand games played.
In season two you were also Diamond, with over 300 wins... again, assuming roughly 50% rate, we'll say at least 500 games.


So in reality, it took you 5+ months and over 1500 games to get into Masters.

It's awesome you're good at the game dude, it's nothing to scoff at if anyone can get into masters, let alone within 6 months. But don't try and glorify your story, especially when you've posted your B.Net username/char code on these same forums and your record is public.



Edit- In further looking at your history, it also looks like you've been demoted back to Diamond several times, most recently just about a month ago, before going back into Masters.

bronze season 1>silver season 2>gold season 3 and now trying to get plat with only macro/max army/harass strats as I feel like this game is more fun when you've got 3000 or so in the bank with a 200 army and 3 fully mining bases

After 5 years of BW experience, I bought sc2 on release.
First game was ZvP. I skipped practice leauge
Long story short, I was 1 base Zerg 25 minutes in the game with 12 drones, 3 macro hatcheries, 2 queens, 1 hydralisk, 2 lings, 1 muta, 1 ultralisk, 1 broodlord, and 1 corrupter. Oh, and 4 overseers. Then he attacked for the first time with dts and stalkers and I lost.
Then I went 2-3 and placed silver. One game I won was against a superfast thor rush with 7 scvs (created, including the initial 6...), and the other was my bronze friend telling me what to do... =_=
I played about 20 games as mostly Protoss, including a game where I double scv rushed! I mostly stuck to 1 base chargelot. I called 4-gaters "hackers".
Then I made an amazing Protoss strategy where I would 1 gate FE with only zealots. I mainly played plat 3v3 and plat 4v4. I bmed people that rushed me.
Then I started mass expanding while going mostly every single tech tree. I almost crushed a plat Zerg, but my micro was awful...
A few months later, I got gold. I could easily beat high plat, but my morale issues prevented me from doing better than 38-18 season 2.
I started making innovative strategies like trinuke and some crazy marine oriented builds.
Season three, I went 1 gate robo immortal rush expand and lost to 7RR, and placed plat! I have gone 1-1 since then...


I assume that BW experience was fastest map ever then? lol

Actually, it was me and a friend against another friend 2v1. And cat and mouse >:D

Only started late last season (2?), got put in bronze got ladder anxiety, so I only played team games. This season, started playing 1's and used the 3 rax stim push to get a 10 win streak, when it failed the following 3 matches, I broke my mouse and stopped playing 1's for weeks. Started again this week (got #1 with alot less games played than anyone in top 5), got around 11-1 before 3 rax stim push was becoming stagnant, so I actually started to play properly. Beat my way through majority of the silvers I was put against, still no promotion. Played a game before work this morning, defending a baneling bust = promotion

EDIT: Got placed in gold for random 4's last season, got put with the same guy twice, who left both games, got demoted to silver, lost a few games and got demoted to bronze, must of been within 10 games from gold to bronze -_-. Got placed in bronze for random 4's again this season, and then worked my way up to plat ^^'.

This was after the league lock, during which I was playing heavily with my two mates. When the leagues got unlocked, we played a game in which we got rofl-stomped. I was about to leave, but my computer had to have the last word - I crashed. I was already on the brink of raging...

Then we got promoted to masters and I went O.o
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

Was playing this cheezy noob and he walled off with forge so i scouted cannon rush and eventually it was an easy win. He was in diamond. Next game i versed him again and i was miles ahead, but he killed all of my workers withDT's because i had no sound. So that was such a cheap loss. Now the latest game i played this guy was 2 gating me, and he lagget out then i got put in DIAMOND!

what goes around comes around baby!

Playing without sound helps me alot. I've developed so much more minimap awareness and I get to listen to music much louder.

I got promoted two days ago (to masters) in a long 30 min macro game, TvP on shattered temple.
Before you say anything, remember...I bite.

I started off in Silver in November when I finally decided to start playing and not just watch SC. Probably about 30 games later I was gold, and end of season 1 was coming ( I did not play much season 1 or 2).

Season 2 I played my placement and got plat - I played maybe ~40 games total this season.

Season 3 placement I lost and got plat - I didn't feel like playing much but then over a two day period I played ~30 games, which was a lot more than I usually would, and got Diamond. At the moment I'm sitting at rank 2 in my league, hoping to get masters soon if I could get more time to play.

I've never been promoted mid season. When I first got the game I placed into Bronze. The season ended I placed into Silver. Then I got an EU account and placed into gold. Now I have a new account and I placed into Platinum a few days ago. :D
