I am 24-12 on iccup w/ 2919 points. i am on the brink of reaching C- for the first time. For a long time i had hit a D+ brick wall, occasionally beating C level players and such, but never being able to win consistantly. Think of it as a Free-syndrome.
Not anymore. I went a monsterous (if i do say so myself) 17-9; and as i sat on my chair shocked and amazed i realized that it was time to give thanks to where it is due.

Thank you SuperJongMan for your amazing 4 gate 2 archon post. I have won many a PvZ using that EXACT BO.

Thank you Nevuk for your detailed 7mintue PvZ thread.

And last but not least Thank you Teamliquid as a whole for destroying my noobish mindset and replacing it with a calculating precise mechanic oriented mindset.

cheers

Haha, you're very welcome. I'm glad someone is able to utilize it effectively.

Anyway you could you post some replays of the transition you use with the 7 minute when you scout lurkers? There's where I'm currently stalled at with trying to use it. (Lurkers/ siege tanks make me for some reason want to see all my units turn into blue smoke and goo).

Edit : Plus I'd like to be able to put some higher skill replays into the OP of that thread than the ones of me getting slaughtered by D koreans

it probably won't be a slump as much as stiffer competition just bringing you down. A slump happens when you stop winning because either you get worse or everyone gets that much better. Going up a rank is somewhat different imo

I was pretty close to hitting C with Terran earlier, after 2 weeks of playing it. Then I lost 8 games in a row, 7 out of the 8 we're because I don't know correct wallins on heartbreak and every protoss goes proxy gates there
