Top 2% of SC2 ladder players is nothing special, gotcha. Gotta love the elitism. Come on mate, pretty much everyone mentions their league when they introduce themselves. | ||

Also, what the hell happened eariler today O.o yeah masters are a super tiny % of each region (i think between 2 and 5) but if you read TL or any live reports everyone states to be master lol i wish TL added a feature that shows your B.net profile in your signature or something. trust me we would have -90% of people being cocky or arrogant  because i am sure only between 5 and 10% of those stating who are in masters, actually are... and you can tell from the amount of giant bullshit that they post in the live reports | ||

Makes me rethink joining. the internet is mean, don't take it personally Masters is good, there is a lot more room to grow above that of course, but getting to Masters so quickly indicates potential top 2% without even being trained? that's really something. I've played hundreds of games and still haven't gotten past Platinum except for a short stint in Diamond. | ||

Look at the divisions: Half of them are empty/inactive. In my Diamond division only the top 20 had more than ~50 wins and iirc only the top 5 over 100... This was a few days before the end of last season (i stopped playing "often" around decembre last year, since than i might have ~5 games a month, most probably less). Thats why i think AND it is easy to get Masters when you put in some effort. While masters might only be the top ~5% of all the players, it's also only like 5% of all the players actually putting some effort into this game. The rest is casually playing a few games when they feel like it. whiteout thinking about "Builds" or whatever else you guys think is required to get out of Gold (rofl) Btw: On TL there is bound to be a pretty high density of Masters-Players.. Or at least Diamond... Why? Peopel that go here actually care about the game.. The Guys i know that are in Bronze - Gold are people that really don't give shit and just play some guys for the pure fun of it whiteout really thinking about anything they do. | ||

So you're not even in Masters? While it's true that it's just the beginning of the real learning, it's still a solid achievement. | ||

I was just informed that it is easier to play with a mouse so I am about to go get one and see how that goes. I mean I still do have a lot to learn but I think I am doing pretty good so far. How is it even possible to click units with a mouse pad? | ||

I have been only playing since last season and that's why I don't do 1v1s anyone because I didn't know they reset and I was ultra sad. I mainly do custom 1v1s and so on. add me and lets play :D Beauty.346 (346 is my friend code) On the off chance that you're actually who you say you are, I'd like to give you a couple of pointers: TL.net is pretty strict on their forum moderation, and this seems to be derailing the thread. However, the Blogs section (look way down on the left coloumn) would be good place for a "This is me - let's play" post. Just edit in the link to your blog into some of your existing posts after you've made your blog and people will get from this thread to the new one. If you're really a female Master player with lots of talent, you have some cool opportunities. Recently there was the Zowie Divina tournament in China for girls only. The participants were flown there from all of the world and the winners of the 5000$ and 3000$ prizes were no more than Master players themselves, if I remember correctly. Every now and then, there's a female only tournament called Iron Lady which is a great chance for girls to make a name for themselves. One of the competitors for Zowie Divina was chosen mainly for her participation in that. Finally, there's a group for girls called Girls of Starcraft, if you need someone to play with who won't trash you. They're also good at informing people when female tournaments etc. is going on. And then, of course, there are all the normal (i.e. mixed gender) tournaments. We're still waiting for the first girl to even qualify for  MLG or win a weekly tournament, so take a look at Portal:Leagues for an overview of what's going on. If you're really good, you may make SC2 history by being the first girl to win one. | ||

How do you make masters right away with no mouse/prior RTS experience....(I'm just assumeing you have none or you would know you need a mouse...) Edit: Is Beauty346 Julia or some random troll? | ||

But I am going to post in the blog section so I don't derail this thread anymore and get in trouble. Holy... | ||
