gee thanks.. not
I play about 30 games a day on weekends and fridays so "play more" doesnt really help me at all. I am looking for some nice short and sweet guide on what to look out for or a link to a recource or something. I keep having this bad decision making problem and I dont know where it come from
for example if I see someone take a fast expo instead of expanding myself like I know I should I just get this idea in my head that if I do an all in I will win and 90% of the time it doesnt work but I just do it anyways. Wtf did you expect? An essay? You're just in gold league, one of the things you need to work on is decision making. What am I supposed to tell you, to be smart? Not be stupid? Just play more, learn what to do and when to do it. What is the problem? Honestly, what kind of resource or guide did you expect? Its just that I have had this problem forever and while my skill level is going up my decision making has yet to improve, i was asking if there was a way to somehow practice decision making just like one might practice macro or something, I wanted to find a way to improve the decision making and start winning again. It seems that for almost ever the only reason I win a game is if I happen to outmacro my opponent and get lucky on unit choice, ie. mass roach or something and happen to kill the protoss because i have so many bases, even though he went for immortals or something.
Stick to one strat in every matchup, grind out mistakes one by one. Sounds like you don't actually understand how the game works out and just play without understanding anything. I find the best way to learn is to stick with something you copied from a good player and keep playing like that untill you understand what is going on, this is true for all games you wanna get good at.

Being European, I will argue that koreans should only be drafted into foreign leagues as much as they allow foreign players to go there (which is barely)

Being lactose intolerant, I respectfully disagree.

Care to elaborate? While I dont really fancy the idea of playing ST_Rainbow in the second round of the playhem daily as was the case yesterday, I believe opportunities to play koreans are a good thing for players. Yes it sucks that koreans tend to smack their foreign counterparts around, but you get better by playing better opponents.
Consider IEM semi's idra vs puma. It was evident from that series that idra and puma had played many games together, and thats why idra was able to compete. (meta game aside the point remains true).
And with more and more foreigners playing in Korea as Koreans play amongst us, the skill gap that was so evident in broodwar is beginning to fill.

omg I'm jealous. 
I think it would have taken me 30 seconds of fumbling to get my first 6 Probes to mine once I realize I'm in the game with Rainbow.

I recently saw a post of a COD player whose 4 man team was awarded 400k $ for winning a championship. In the interwiew he says he plays around 4 hours per day. Is it me, or it's just a bunch of amateurs, that if some korean team came with SC2 like practice schedules, their ass would be kicked to the moon in a years practice?
SC2 players here scracthing their butts to blood to win dwarfish prizes and these guys with less than half of practice time earn gigant sums of money. Fair?

It's not really about fairness, it's about how much revenue the ads will generate. There are undoubtedly more people that like Call of Duty than Starcraft 2. I'm sure, and hope that this will change.

does that make sense ?

Need some help here. Is there a way to redo your placement matches? I am growing tired of terran, and want to make the change to toss but I dont want to get roflstomped by all the people I usually match up with.

unfortunately, you can't reset your MMR so your opponent's skill ratings will still be at the same level as when you switch to protoss. Either play custom games or lose 10-15-20 games in a row using toss. The initial 5 placement matches are for putting you into a league, but the single placement match at the start of a season is just for checking who is currently active.

I thought there was a way to replay the placement matches, no? Ive lost about 15 games and im still hitting diamonds and its getting frustrating.

I have a question regarding hotkey profile in SC2. I am trying to play random but I have different hotkey profiles for each race. Is there a way to change the profile easily using keyboard shortcuts after the game has started, without doing the F10->hotkeys->..... ?
thank you.

No, unfortunately that is the fastest way I am aware of. Perhaps there is another way but as far as I've ever known (playing since beta) .. no, you cannot change your hotkeys without going to the
menu->hotkeys

No. The only way to replay all 5 placement matches are to completely skip a season (Play season 1, don't play one single ladder game season 2, you play 5 placement matches season 3). Sorry, all you're doing is slowly lowering your MMR. At the moment, best guess, it's trying to realign. If you really want to try Protoss just keep immediately surrendering on games. 25-50 losses straight will put you in bronze.
Good luck.

Don't lose on purpose, it's a bannable offense and I will report you if I can/see, if you want to change your race, just do it and keep practicing with whoever comes, it can't be a bad practice just because you have little chances on winning. Your frustration is a psycological problem that you should try to fix by realising that losing is fine, you are learning, you shouldn't fix the frustration by smashing bronzes, really.
