I've been playing since before season one, i'm a 17 year old zerg..


Im currently sitting in platinum and losing every game.

I just played a game where I was 210/200 supply, full ups, 9 base.... Still losing..

I am losing every game, to diamonds to silvers, you name it..




I desperatly need some help, ever since I started playing all I wanted was to be diamond, but I just cant overcome low low platinum...



I play on SEA as Toastyzeus and NA as Pieceoftoast, and im losing every game..




I really need help ..



EDIT:
Here is the link to the past replays, some are prac games and others are playing toss, so please disregard any irrelevant games.


Thanks

But this level of post is definitely not up to standards on Strategy boards, let alone anywhere on this site. Read a few other help topics and put the work into your help thread. Don't expect people to put any more effort into helping you than you put into making it easier for them to help you.
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

Checkout the channel pracbud the people there are looking for game and to work certain builds. Also joining a clan helps.

Hi, and welcome to TL

Asking for advice falls under the SC2 Strategy subforum. Check there for examples and I will outline some basic things you need.
1. Replay(s) of your play. Easiest way for us to give you constructive criticism
2. Self analysis- why do you think you are losing? Watch a replay and take notes. It will help us both.

Don't rely on mods to do stuff right for you, they are busy people
Good luck with winning

oh and edit- check out some of the existing threads to see what it should look like! Most are quite good examples of how to ask for help!

Yeah Im in clan ToR, fantastic bunch, i'm also in Pracbud... but that's the thing, you see..

I'm trying to do all these things to improve, and I have been for 7 seasons now, I just cant break my skill barrier.



ALSO


I will respond with a pack of the last 22 games I played, some are prac games and others are playing toss, so please disregard any irrelevant games.


If anyone knows any free zerg coaches I could contact that would be fantastic!

This seems like a big whine post. Post this in strategy forum with replays attached to it so people can actually help you besides soothing you from whining.

"I need help and I don't give you any information, so figure out yourself how you can help me".

GL, play better!

edit: replays would be good yes.

TL is a pretty good place to get help, but you're going to have to learn the basics for how we do things around here before you'll get any advice.

First: Read this thread, it has all the information you need about how to make an acceptable Strategy Forum thread asking for help: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=338554

Then make a new [H][L] (help, low level) thread following those guidelines: Include a replay or two, analyse for yourself what you think is happening in the game(s) you include, and make clear what it is you'd like to understand better. Then we'll be more than happy to help you out!

Also, there are a lot of really excellent resources for learning generally how to improve as a lower-level player (which does include platinum): http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=330787 is good, as is http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=328028

Hey.

Yes you should post in the strategy forum.. not here.

Anyhow, number of bases means nothing, im not a zerg player, but for protoss i know i dont want more then 3 saturated bases troughout the game, and from there out work on getting a very good late game unit composition so i can A-move and spam Gee Gee. (I used to think..more bases = more win ..but it simply is not like that in sc2)

And plat for me was the hardest league to break so far, just mass up 1v1 games, gain experience, try to have a general idea of what went wrong, watch day9 ..watch streams, and you will be diamond before you can even blink. Also read up about how do deal when you are going tilt, because you sound pretty frustrated with the game, and that mental state will have you play really bad. You just need to play a few ladder games every day and you will get there, people dont hit skill ceilings in plat (i hope.. :D).

EDIT: Unless you are master league do not pay for coaching.

This quality of a post isn't acceptable anywhere on the site.

In addition to going to the link Emporium mentioned, go to the strategy forum guidelines as well.
