Just played my league placement and it put me down 1 league compared to last season.
I think it's not an unusual occurrence. Got placed in diamond after I lost my placement match and got promoted to master after a total of 16.
Lost placement to masters toss who mass tempested me, but beat my first diamond opponent and BAM straight to masters. After the entire of WoL being Diamond, finally being Masters feels sooo goood!
Congratulations.

Joinin' the Swarm party!
...at least I would, had I not cocked up the Simply Games order and got my SG account flagged. Oh well, will be scrubbing it up with added Widowmines in the morning.

Not sure I'd call it sad. Idra's problem seems to be that he is legitimately upset that he's not special in SC2, and that all that BW work apparently meant little. He acts like he's entitled to success because of how hard he worked in the past, and that nearly every non-Korean player who beats him sucks because they didn't do x/y/z 5 years ago. He also is constantly behind the meta game IMO. I remember last year when Stephano's three hatch roach play was dominating ZvP and was super late to jump on board; he also was very late on the heavy Infestor play later in the same matchup.
He doesn't seem interested in getting better, he'd rather complain about people not playing the right way, or Blizzard fucking zerg. Nevermind that zerg pretty much dominated much of 2012.
I predict he'll retire before the end of the year.

Uses the same glitch
So back in silver, and I'm having fun. (maybe I was just playing above my skill level). Used infestors in all my games (except the two ZvZs), and they were kind of effective... they worked okay against the protoss voidray/colossus/stalker/immortal death ball, and they worked really good against the terran bio drops.
In the protoss match up, I'm just not sure what to build... I went pretty much mostly hydras, but they get destroyed by the colossus. I guess I need air cover in that match up, I don't know. Swarm hosts. But even when I go swarm hosts they don't seem to do that well.
The terran game was a lot of fun, going back and forth, I busted his front with some lings, lost a hatch to a drop, defended follow on drops until I like totally shut down 4 medivacs full of dudes with infestor/ultra. That was pretty cool, using fungal growth and tossing infested terran behind them.

Man I went like 1 and 7 today. I don't know what it was but I kept facing guys who were either currently Plat or were Plat in the past. Even some guys who were Diamond in the past. I just lost a 60 minute match to a guy who's Masters in team. Is this just because it's the first day of the new season? I'm hanging around in a lot of these games but I just wasn't able to win them. So frustrating man.
I know how that feels. Maybe the player pool is getting smaller so compition level goes up?
ahmagadahmagadahmagad!!!

Grats dood! I played my placement last night and got promoted too! I forgot to take a screenshot though :[

Stuck in Gold for now but with a few more matches I'll be back to Plat in no time. But right now I'm gonna nap to catch Group of Death at 5:10 AM.
LOL... that's not funny though.
HMMMMMMMMMMMM

I think platinum is the highest rank you can reach in HotS placement matches. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
edit: By the way, welcome back old-avatar-Corran :3!
Thanks Ketch <3

I thought the 1 game new season placement was different
ya it's different if you are playing the new season placement and were playing last season. Unfortunate for you Corran :[
i'm silver. so we aren't alone.
Neat. I felt lonely being in a division all alone while there was a party of NeoGAF members going on in another.
I just haven't had the time to play really. I've hopped on for a few of the failed GAF night attempts, but other then that, my interest has just been elsewhere the past couple weeks.System works.

Amazing salty tears.
It was funny yesterday, I went mass phoenixes with cadreyn and Nate in 3v3 and went up against 2 Zerg and one Protoss. Let me tell you. Those Zerg had 0 overlords half way through and continued on killing any and all overlords throughout. At one point I wasn't even afraid of spores because of how many nixes+1 shotting overlords
I don't know if anybody here actually watches ATC, but the series today was quite good for Acer. Scarlett took two (one against Hyun), and then MMA took the ace match against Hyun convincingly, even though he had to pause midway through to evacuate his sickly and torrential bowels #sportsman
Seeing the French casters break champagne out on stream was also quite amazing.

This shit will never get old.
Did he really stay in the game until his last structure fell so he could badmouth you?

It's got to be the best feeling when playing an RTS. They're wasting their time staying in the game thinking they're making you mad when really you're just sitting there giggling to yourself.
Not really an issue in Starcraft, if they start it it's because you just beat their ass and they are about to leave.

It's actually pretty rare to have someone go crazy like that. Starcraft community is pretty manner compared to most other online game communities.
Protoss has always gotten under people's skin. Sometimes people just see this gigantic army a-moving over all their stuff with zero micro and lose their shit. They don't realize they lost the game 10 minutes ago when the Protoss out played them and took bases quicker than they should have, for example. A-moving is just P's reward for a game well played.
Eh, I wouldn't say it's rare. One reason I've stopped replying to "glhf" at the beginning of a ranked match is because the nature of that phrase flies out the window as soon as the other player gets crazy.
What f0rk said is true, though: players tend to pop off right before they leave.
