EPTBasically, first season on season 5. Went protoss because In Warhammer 40k i am Eldar fan, and they reminded me so much of Eldar so I just had to. Played loads of games, went on many like 25 game win streaks showing i was above bronze league, then I would just play stupid, like not scout at all - which showed me, I was still Bronze league! Also did a few games with terran and zerg with no build orders.. safe to say I had over 2k minerals banked at around 12 minutes :')Last day of season 5 I played and won every game, against Plat's and Golds mainly. Got up 30 minutes ago, Wanted to see if season 6 for EU had started, it had. Played my placement game like the biggest scrub ever, completely forgot my 12 gate.. So i went 14 gas, 15 pylon, 17.. wait what? 18.. Gate (was against Zerg, don't like FFE) Basically, i clawed back in considering he was only silver.. Then i left my zealot gap empty he ran in with 20+ lings, i basically clean it up but i am so titled thinking I was gonna stay in Bronze i just "dfhdhf" out.Luckilly they gave me silver. I said to myself, if I got gold+ before or at season 6, i was going to stay Protoss, but If i got silver or bronze again i am switching to Zerg. So here I go, getting my Darkgrid Layout going and the constant practice against hard Ai.

 After an 8 month break I come back and there's a masters league o.o I play for a few weeks re-learning sc2 and the new strats that came out and got placed into masters after beating a protoss with a massive thor tank helion death ball. Feels good man. | ||

At this point I wish I were in a lower league so I wouldn't have to experience this horrible feeling of stagnation. I know the feeling... Diamond since the beginning also, I seemed to slump each time iI hit master players... But dont worry there's a light at the end of the tunnel! Got promoted this morning after 1300 wins on the ladder. cant tell you how good that felt ^^ | ||

So finally after fighting some ladder anxiety I finally pressed the button and then fml it was a pvp game. So I went 3 stalker rush againts a toss who was doing a fucked up 3 gate robo expand. My stalker rush failed and I got blink 14 mins in game and decided to attack him when he has a HUGE advantage. Due to my crappy micro I lost my whole army and most of his army was still alive so I said GG and left. But here the best part. I was gold last season and after that game he got gold and I got plat :D! Hope you enjoy my league promotion story. lol excellent. One of the good ones. I've been diamond for quite some time (haven't really been pushing for masters), but my pc/internet lagged when I was being promoted to diamond from platinum and I didn't know about it so I never got the screen telling me I got promoted. Biggest rip off promotion evar. | ||

So to avoid tanking my 1500 game+ MMR, I used my NA account which is in platinum from just messing about, testing builds and warming up. Played about fifty games on that as protoss, and a few on SEA (which was harder as in Diamond league) So, season 6 begins. Do my placement on NA and win, re-placed in Platinum. Win another, lose another, win two more and promoted into Diamond (wtf? how could my MMR improve so much in those five games). Go back to SEA and do my placement from my diamond account, win, demoted to platinum. So basically, with the same standard of play my NA account went Plat -> Diamond and my SEA account (with a much higher starting MMR due to being my Terran main) goes from Diamond -> Plat odd. | ||
