Unfortunately I must begin this week with an appology for another week without a video. I have an exam this week and while I am no longer sick I figured I should spend any extra time I did have on actually playing and well, studying. My goal for last week was to hit rank 1 in this gold or get promoted. I'm happy to say I hit rank 1 mid week though as I mentioned I've fallen due a lack of time to play much this weekend. Personally the best thing about this goal was that it made me play a lot, well that and the player who was convinced that I was GM player playing on a gold smurf account... I really hope GM players have better things to be doing than trolling around the gold leagues.
My goals for this following week are slightly less concrete. The first goal is to work on my macro via the goal to not let macro slip (go above 500 res) before the 10 minute mark and not miss a supply depot.This is going to probably continue every week but just increase the length of time I aim for. I'm abviously not just going to let it slip on purpose after that but I think it's worth it to start with a goal you can reasonably hit rather than shooting for the moon.
My second goal is to get less tilted by "dumb" losses. I'm talking about those games when you have an engi bay but just forget to build a turret for the DTs or banshees etc. It's just one of those things that makes laddering less fun for me so if I work on not letting it bother me then I hope to get much more enjoyment out of the laddering sessions because if there's anything gold players seem to love it's voidray/dt/banshee rushes.
Have a lovely week everyone!
Cheers,
