Actually i don't know exactly how the system works but i'm pretty sure the end of the season is probably the best time to get promoted. Just keep working on improving your MMR and you can get promomted with your placement match for next season.

You are dead to me. Go watch the finals.
Yep the system will check if you're in line for a promotion/demotion during next seasons placement match. During a season it checks randomly.
Also you can check how many points you need to be at this season to pretty much be guarenteed to get a promotion next:

Yeah I know, that's how I went from Silver to Gold at the start of season 2. I had just set the goal for myself that I'd be diamond by the time this season was over, that's not gonna happen now. Though I did start playing pretty late this season
damn I close according to that. I'm at 708 right now.
Played a game where a zerg raged out after calling me 'greedy' (like thats a great insult). I went Nexus first vs. him and crushed his baneling bust (I scouted it coming). I messaged him after the match and said how is it greedy if I can hold your attack. His reply?
Your lucky I didn't go roaches.
Lol.
EU? 770 means you win about 6 more games than you lose (assuming even matches). GL!

Lol and this is masters? That kinda makes me feel bad in a way
.Yesterday i faced a terran who did a marine maruader scv allin against me after i expanded. I cancelled the nexus and was able to hold it off (he eventually went home with a lot of his scvs). I got way ahead on economy after this and crushed him with zealots/sentry/HT once i got on 3 base. He then says to me 'i can't wait for HOTS so protoss finally get a massive nerf to chargelots and storm" then a few seconds later he says "good @#%@% luck with that".
After the match i asked him if he thought the fact that he failed an allin had something to do with his loss. He said i'm a scrub who relies on an OP race to win. When i said i was off racing and to check my history he put me straight on ignore.
Also i want to play some more practice games against you. The last ones were just me baneling rushing you lol. I want to see how your DT build works in action (so i can copy it) and i want to practice going carriers in PvP.
Or i could just go zerg so you don't crush my face quite so badly

I'll have to flick betweetn that and ForGGs stream (who just tried to do a nuke rush against a zerg).
I want to stress how important this is, and how smart you are to do this.
Unless you are sitting in the Slayers house or you are Stephano, most likely you will see the best results by stealing strategies and trying to perfect them.
When you are feeling comfortable try to look at pro replays/vods of people beating compositions you have problems with.

Pretty impressive for the stream to have over 10K viewers just for an online qualifier that doesn't even really have any big name players right now.
Even the NASL struggles for that.

Tells a lot about how much people liked the tournament imo.
I feel you need to tackle the deeper reasons for frustration instead of just moving from one game to another.
i agree. my ZvP didn't improve when i was ignoring it for other more casual games.
After I uninstalled this game, I've been playing it from work from time to time and there's absolutely zero frustration left. Best decision ever. Even though my mechanics crumble because I don't play every day, I'm compensating it with cool decision making. I guess I look like Artosis with zero APM and no pride :b

Bleh.
Self improvement is a hard road.

Yes but I truly do feel that I need at least a weeks break and it's not only because I'm frustrated but also because my right hand is killing me atm. My hand is seriously not meant for games that are longer than 20 minutes... at that point, I can barely move my fingers out of pain.

Yeah I wish I would play zerg lately... too bad it feels as if I'm getting TvT 80 percent of my matches in dia/mas EU...
You pony fans would know a thing or two about loosing up to another race.

This definitely seems to be the case. I still can't believe that my best matchup (TvT) is now my worst. Fucking gimmicky, coin-flipping, I-hope-to-get-lucky-with-scans, bullshit-matchup.
More like he played better, like any other matchup.
You are starting to sound a bit like ChronicleX.
Thank you for posting this. As a beginner it helps to know explicitly the things you are doing correctly versus incorrectly. So thank you again.
I never thought about this before, until your post, but back in the Broodwar days, as a beginner, I used to want to do the cool strategy that Day 9 would talk about on his podcast, or that I would see JeaDong do in a pro game. But of course I would get crushed because I didn't have the knowledge, understanding, and skill of those players that are requisites to pull off those strategies.
But when you are stealing strategies from other lower level players, those are strategies that you don't need great mechanics or micro to pull off in order to get a victory against other beginner players. So it gives you a strategy that as a beginner you can execute. Which is the exact opposite of my Day9/JeaDong days. Thank you one last time, I will follow your advice.

You know what, you're right. Sorry.
no he isn't.
its sort of like how everyone who does anything is BASICALLY HITLER!!!!!1!
You dilute how bad the original is by comparing it to things that are relatively nonconsequencial.
I was mainly referring to his league comment which was Chronicle's number one argument against anyone about anything.
No, he really is not. Until he calls someone a "shit eating jester" for disagreeing with him he's nothing at all like ChronicleX.
All Yoshi does is break his own stuff and oscillate rapidly between "life is awesome!" and "my life sucks so hard". He's hyperbolic in a bi-polar sort of way but hardly insulting.
we shouldn't be defining chronicle by one trait when he was an amalgamation of a wide variety of traits, we're in 'hitler was a vegetarian' territory if we do.
I appreciate your concern, but I just gotta tell you that I didn't mean it as a bad of an insult as it may have sounded. If you want to define Chronicle and people like him, it would come down to him blaming everything possible except himself for his losses and crazy statements. I guess Yoshis little rant woke up bad memories in me :b
what the fuck is happening in the hsc qualifier??!?!?
edit: awww
actually it wasn't.
if there wasn't any banshee he would have done more damage.
or if he had an economy.
or if he had just allin'd after the flank.

I never remember ChronicleX insulting anyone... but then again, I never spoke to him that much.
edit: wait, where IS ChronicleX anyway?
He got hit with the ban stick I believe.
Yoshi nut up and get into masters. Diamond league EU= Gold League NA.

Bolded part = Ooooooooh shiiiiiii --
But yeah, I don't play nearly enough ladder games to upgrade. If we don't count the last three days, I've played a total of ONE game this season. Last season? A total of TWO games (and lost both iirc).
