I was ranked Gold after the game launched in 2010, but I seem to be stuck in silver, currently #1 in my division with 867 points. Just recently I seem to be able to defeat the gold player I get matched against more often that I lose to them.

I actually came back in the middle of this season (around the beginning of august) after a six month hiatus and decided to switch from Terran to Zerg. I've loved it so far. Even though I like the aesthetics of Terran more, I feel like I can grasp the mechanics of Zerg so much easier. In a month I managed to get my Zerg to a low Platinum level without getting demoted into Gold. I'm pretty proud =)

My love for Starcraft 2 has really resurfaced over the last month as well and I've closely followed the OSL and GSL as they've begun. It's really exciting!

Next season I'm considering playing Random in order to further my understanding of the game even more. If not, I'll push myself as Zerg to get into Diamond.

Here's to a new season!

Looks like they're moving to the longer seasons which I do like though, hopefully see you guys on ladder this season at some stage!

Still bronze. But I've played like 30 total games in two years.

Maybe it's time to get more serious 0.o

oh well, having fun anyway. :D

I came back last month and since then have played 300 or so games , more than I've played nearly overall over other seasons. :p

I got placed in Platnium and since I switched to mech in all styles for a week or two I wasn't getting very far, but then I got into the top 10 of my division, beat high golds, high platinums and high diamonds so I have no idea where my MMR is at the moment.

Hopefully I can finally get back to being close to masters, before I took a 6 month break or something and lost like all the skill I had. I was so close to masters before too >_<

Finally. My MMR will finally reset so I can start playing again.

I've been a platinum zerg player since release and I've been playing way too little. Next season, I will lose all of my 5 placement games on pupose, then work my way up from bronze or whatever using only filtersc like simple macro oriented builds, so I can mass games instead of trying to be fancy. Might even switch races around, though I will probably keep maining zerg.

How much you play per day? 10h or?

I have an average of 6 games per day. So maybe 2 hours or so. I'm just in my last high school year, so I'm in school until 3 o'clock most of the times. So I can hardly play much more.


erm... that seems hardly possible. You must be some kind of Wunderkind.


It's really not. Once you get the basics down (probes and pylons) it's pretty easy to get to diamond based on macro alone, then it's mostly refining your play and becoming more consistent to get to master.

I started the game low bronze, but after i watched Day9's first newbie tuesday video and practiced the concepts i got to diamond within a week and i'd never played an RTS competitively before. (ps this was when the game first came out so diamond was the highest league and also people didn't know how to play the game as well as they do now, however my point still stands)

Having bad luck with initial players, while not actually being on silver level?

Thank you, I'm well aware. I have not played since season 7, which is why I'm waiting so hardcore for season 9.

I'm in Bronze and I've been winning 60-75% of my games for like 10 days, still no promotion. How many games does a guy need to keep up that winning percentage to get promoted?

Like 250+ more ladder points.. you got 953 from what i see.. and blizzard write that 1200 is"minimum" . I think your MMR is really near promotion. Just dont have now lose streak in new seson , and you will get promoted soon ™
