-Achieve my C- high at least (which I thought would be harder during TSL)
-Get in the top 25% of the TSL ladder
I also decided I would do it straight and not cheese my way, and I wouldn't dodge weak matchups or Koreans (but I didnt go out of my way to play koreans either).
As I started laddering I noticed I was really out of shape (having 50% winrate at D level). But really the hardest part is that I decided to play only with Zerg. I used to play ZvP (and Zerg in 2v2), and then dodge most of the ZvT and ZvZ and play PvT and PvZ instead. So I had to learn two matchups >< Also, while my ZvP was my strongest matchup in the past, I was mostly playing lurkerling into contain, and now adapted my play to the new 3 hatch scourge into 5 hatch hydras build.
Anyway, I managed to get to C- after going thourgh a very bad losing streak at D+ (14 games lol), but then seems stuff worked out as I had a pretty good winrate against C- opponents. This morning as I woke up I was at 35xx and wanted to get to C, but a very bad hangover was not in my favor And I also had my fair share of race switchers ><
Anyway, after a few games I managed to beat achieve C rank!! Also, I finished in the top 25% (332/1345, just barely), so I'm pretty satisfied with that! I would maybe have tried playing a bit more today, but my hangover won and I went back to sleep lol.
While my ZvP ended up with a decent win ratio (51%), my ZvZ (34.4%) and ZvT (37.1%) really need quite a lot of work. Overall winratio could have been better (44%) but I blame that on my 14 game losing streak lol.
I want to thanks Day[9] for his awesome podcast on playing ZvT against mech, I went from like a 20% winrate to 95% winrate . Also, for analyzing my game during the Day[9] daily which helped my play vs bio quite a lot (but it's still my weakest matchup )
Also, shoutout to other TSL participants I played against, XsebT, Aquiles, Bartek, Alur, UndeadArmy, AiELLO, Swarm, IhrA, Freezer]V[ and Deotrip. Hope your TSL experience was good too!
