I'm really confused at the state of the Europe ladder. I was Diamond in Beta, Season 1, Season 2 and high platinum in Season 3 as I had a break beforehand. I'm back in Diamond and every single game I've played has been against people who can't seem to win straight up games. I just played a zerg who literally built one of every single unit at some and I somehow lost, but that's because I couldn't work out how to counter what he was doing.

I don't remember Diamond being like this. I guess I need to beat builds like that to get my way to Masters, but every game I had while high plat was proper solid macro games that I usually won out. :S

Is there an approx point range to get GM, or is it still based on MMR? Playing 1.4k masters-GM players and wondering if I need to play just for enough points or not.

Why do I have an achievement for placing top 8 silver in season 2, but haven't got one for placing top 8 in gold season 3?

Terrans are being represented less and less on ladder.

Any speculation as to why?

Probably a combination of Terran hate and Terran's the steep learning curve in getting a third base up.

Haha, nice joke :D

Maybe constant bashing aganist terran from the comunity for being the most "complete" (was that the word that browder say? "acomplished"? don't remember) race?

It should eventually even itself out. Lower leagues seem to favor terran and protoss, so there might be people who choose to stay and not race change once they've gotten use t it.

Its shit like this.... I'm not trolling when I say it is hard to do.
EDIT: The endless passive aggressiveness or blatant aggressiveness against Terran players in this community is fucking annoying.

It's not surprising that the two races played in the campaign are the most favored in the lower leagues. I would imagine most players will start with Zerg in HotS.

I'd guess it's mainly the frustration of not being able to micro/macro as the korean pros while having the whole community say that you are OP (based on these pros).

If it works anything like WoW the feats of strength get updated after a while, not straight away.

Does dropping a mule into a large cluster of banelings work as cost effective way of "killing" the banelings or do only 1 or 2 go off.

It's actually insane how many people think that the state of balance in korean progaming has anything to do with what they do in plat or whatever. They really feel they can't win because there are too many terran in Code S and they have to cry about that in every possible thread.

I remember reading a thread several months ago about someone who custom designs computer peripherals for disabled users. I have made many thread searches and can not find this thread. Does anyone know the contact information for the person who makes these devices?

Thanks mucho. LostnFound

Hey, Everyone I recently got my account banned for use of a third party program. Im pretty sure the program causing the issue was sc2gears. The weird thing is that I can't find anything that suggests that Sc2gears was a third party program. I'm hoping blizzard can tell me what it was. They told me the illegal activity was around September to October which corresponds with my use of sc2gears.
I used the sc2gears apm meter I wounder in the meter itself caused the problem or if anyone else has experienced or seen other cases like this with the use of specifically sc2gears or perhaps other apm meters. Most information out there seems to be misinforming people: http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2463346842
https://sites.google.com/site/sc2gears/ <- at the bottom it says sc2gears in not a 3rd party program and not cause you to get banned
