can somebody please explain me, how come i've won 30+ matches so far [1v1 quick match] and still sitting my ass on 1st place in bronze league and didn't advance?

How many games have you lost before?
Who are you playing? Are you winning convincingly?
MMR can take a bit to jump around, especially if you placed into bronze.

You really should be bumped up soon though.

Unless you won those +30 games in a row I don't get the problem. How many losses for that +30 wins?
Are you playing vs Silver or Gold players? Are you winning?
Just wait and win games ^^ Sometimes it just watches and evaluates you if you just keep winning until it sees where do you settle with 50-50 win ratio

No time at all then. Give it a day or two, or whatever Blizzard does to decide when you rank up.

It might be continually adding to your MMR from your wins so it hasn't reached something it considers 'stable'.
If you are in Bronze and playing Diamonds it doesn't really matter either.

Yep, you'll rank up eventually.

i think, mot of the games are vs bronze, this quick match thing is stupid and useless.
What is MMR anyways? [forgive me the noob question]

"In addition to your points, there is also a hidden Matchmaking Rating"
"This rating decides which opponents you will meet, and tries to quantify your skill level. The aim of the MMR is to rank you in such a way that you have a roughly 50% win ratio when paired against those of similar MMR. You presumably start out with an MMR of the middle of the spectrum when starting your placement matches. When your MMR has averaged above or below a certain value over a number of recent games, you can be promoted or demoted. "

The quick match thing is brilliant imo. If you're really winning 8 times in a row then you should be vsing silver and golds by now. MMR is the matchmaking rating. It goes up when you win and goes down when you lose. It ranks you so eventually you should have a roughly 50% win rate.

you can look for STYROPIAN for reference if you don't believe. Yesterday I actually [just checked] won 16 games in a row.
btw what is bonus pool?

When a new season starts, bonus pool starts at 0. The bonus pool increases slowly if you don't play ladder games. When you win a game with bonus pool, you'll get more points.

From what I understand the situation as, GOM has the broadcast rights for SC2 in Korea so OGN must have made a deal with GOM to broadcast WCG.
Nope, OGN has the WCG broadcasting rights, and these override the GOM exclusivity deal. They show whatever game is played at WCG.

tip for cheese makers: if you're going to cheese, it's best not to say much of anything outside of "glhf." Got a ZvZ on Shattered Temple and right as the game started the guy was like "my fingers were in ur mom's cunt!" Right then and there I knew I was dealing with some bullshit, so I 9 pooled; a risk because he'd probably beat my timing if we were in close positions. Luckily we were in cross map positions. He did the 6 pool+spine crawler shit, or tried but I stopped him.

Then he rage quit and I proceeded to troll him until he blocked me.

from?

Now i'm 20-ish at that pool, so it's good right?
Every won match gives me like +20 to bonus pool. I thought when I finally reach 0, or negative value, i'll advance...

Wait, you don't get bonus pool by winning... and 20ish is a very low pool xD Me and my friend had like 300 bonus pool in 2v2 that we spent in less than 6 hours of 2v2ing.

You'll advance when your MMR stabalizes. Don't worry too much about the league stuff, you could be in bronze league vsing masters if your MMR just keeps going up.

bonus pool increase with time and it got nothing to do with promotions.

by the way, if you played a lot of games it will take more time for the system to promote you.

example: someone with 50 games will be promoted much faster than someone with 200 games.

Thanks guys ! Btw anybody has crazy-shit-tactics against toss [im terran]? Guys at work play the race and I want to show them who's the boss ^^

I have 6rax all-in well trained so...

Well you did ask for "crazy-shit-tactics" and I gave you the currently most hated all-in. It'll be fun, don't worry :).

For longer game tactics I don't know what to recommend. Build a lot of ghosts, EMP everything then roll over him?

waaaaaaaaaaaaaait a sec here, I like this build! Gonna try it sometime today, yay thanks!

Btw is there any way to play multiplayer and choose opponent's race I want to confront?
Ha! That's what everyone secretly wants. Only play your good matchup. >_<

But no, you can't choose which race you face. Whoever's close to you in MMR and also searching for games at that moment.

So how exactly should I train TvP tactics? Against AI ?

One way is doing custom games and leaving if it's not the race you want but that's kinda shitty way to go about it.
Best option is to just have friends to play with. Custom against a Protoss friend. TL has a practice partner database thread where you can find other people wanting to practice or just play us gaffers.

I miss when he was zerg.

I miss Artosis playing Zerg.

Now that I think about it when Artosis played Zerg they were the weakest race. A few months after he switches, Toss becomes the weakest. Hrmmm, I think Artosis needs to switch to Terran now.

Wow it's like you want him to be hated by everyone and fired.

If you want to impress you learn how to 1 rax fast expand (with no gas, or marauder and concussive shell) into 3 or 4 rax. Learn to deflect the first Protoss push and then you walk in like a boss and hit stim to win. ezpz
If that doesnt work try it again when you have medivacs.
Then again when you have 1-1 and ghosts.
