I placed mid Bronze on the new ladder, within the bottom of the top 50. That's about where I belong, lol. I didn't win any of my placement matches! So far all of the bronze players I've faced have been fairly good players too, I'm amazed at how good the "worst" players actually are. I don't consider myself a bad player, I can beat the AI soundly every time. It just seems like humans always out produce me, get one decisive victory over me in battle, and then steamroll me while I recover. Or they cheese exceptionally well and I fail to stop it.
One of my problems is I love playing as random. I want to get better with all three races, but that also hinders me from focusing on and mastering any one of them. But eh, it's only a game.
Pick one simple build to learn as each race and then it's all a matter of your mechanics being good enough to execute it. A half decently executed mid game push will win 99% of the time in bronze.
I haven't laddered 1v1 in months because I'm in masters and know with my complete lack of practice I would lose 5-10 in a row against people who have been practicing. I can't wait for hots to give me a fresh start.

Is Flash even good at SC2? Why didn't he receive a Code S seed?
online -_-
MLG's previous online only stuff wasn't worth watching - not really interested in this. Hopefully some of the Kespa players end up qualifying for the Summer Championship, I guess.
So does the online open qualifier that leads to the invite only qualifier lead to this which leads to the championship, or are there two separate online qualifiers and just this one has kespa players?
Where's the flow chart

Well he just qualified for Code A out of Code B so he's definitely improving.
Code S seeds were based on proleague ranking

I'm not sure I understand. You are in Masters, but you are out of practice and would lose a lot if you were on the ladder? Don't you have to know how to play well enough to win consistently to even get into Masters? Do the people in Masters play differently than on the ladder? Are you saying that I'm facing harder opponents in Bronze than you do in Masters?
Because it's strange the variety in skill level I see on the ladder. I'm in Bronze on 1vs1 but I'm in Gold for 3vs3, and honestly I see worse players in the Gold 3vs3 than I do in the Bronze 1vs1. From my perspective it seems like the Bronze singles people know their shit and the Gold team players are just horrible. I'm almost always in the top two of the scorecard for 3vs3, and when I lose a 3vs3 it's almost always because one or both of my team mates are Trollcasting material; yet I consistently lose in Bronze 1vs1. It's funny, yet frustrating too.

I want to try and move there once I get my bachelor's degree. Free healthcare, nicer weather, and nicer people are a plus. Evil internet companies, Harper government and friends, are negatives.

Doesn't the Canadian telecommunication company have a massive lobby force in the government? I could've sword they were trying to pass some ridiculous laws a couple months ago that quickly got shut down.

Yes and no. They've since demolished that and because of the huge coverage the CRTC, the commission that oversees telecommunications in Canada, has had to change their attitude. They're actually going after Cable companies right now for forcing people to pay for "Packages" to get a small set of channels. They're also working on something else, but I can't remember what it is.
As for nice weather, I hope you've been through a winter. Unless you plan on moving to Vancouver you'll experience some serious cold. Well, unless global warming continues and we get another winter with very little snow.
With all that being said... you'll love it here! And for the most part we all love to have people move here. That goes for both of you. Come join me in Alberta. Shaw cable is awesome for Internet. 250 Mbps residential internet with 1 terabyte cap? Yes please!

Well it's nice to see people fighting back. I lived in Canada for about 2 years when I was younger but since then I've lived in Florida and put on a hoodie when it hits ~60F down here. Canadian winters would probably kill me.

I know...one game I pushed too far and his reinforcements destroyed my army :/
I been going colossus earlier than HTs and getting destroyed by mass vikings :/
by time they have 8~ vikings, they either have 0 medivacs or if they a couple medivacs aswell you should have hightemplars aswell.
And if they don't have that many you should be able to stomp them with blink stalkers.
blink > charge pvt
always get it first if you are going collosus.

First of all, you can't compare team league players to 1v1 players. Team players are generally horrible at the game. If I put the same effort into 1v1 ladder I would get crushed. I've played 3v3 with a couple friends that have never played SC2 before and we were in gold league after a couple days. I ladder team games occasionally and I'm still easily in all 3 master leagues without trying. Team ladder is casual fun at lower leagues and mostly unbalanced rush fests in masters. They mean nothing.
Now, are you aware of how the match making system works? I haven't played in 1v1 in 6+ months so if I played 1v1 ladder it would match me based on my previous skill. Because of this I would be facing mostly legit high diamond/low masters quality players. Lower leagues have a LOT more variety in what league your opponent is in. A bronze leaguer on a hot streak can get matched against a plat leaguer on a losing streak. You facing shitty gold league players means you're close to being promoted.
I haven't played 1v1 in ages and I'm confident I could beat gold leaguers 99% of the time. It took me a couple hundred games to get to diamond level, then another couple hundred to get to low masters. It takes a long time to build up the muscle memory for good mechanics and even longer to get a reasonably decent game sense.

You can go blink to counter the heavy viking count, or you could go chargelot/archon with double forge. 2/2 mid game zealot/archon pushes with 8-10 gates is really strong in pvt.
Man, all this meta gaming in my head is making me want to play again.

Only problem is PvT is just hilariously easy that none of this meta gaming really matters. I'm not crying imba but i don't even worry about PvT anymore because i win pretty much every time (no one survives my immortal push and if they do late game is easy anyway).
Actually PvP isn't too bad either thanks to no one knowing how to handle or even bother scouting stargates.
PvZ though, can't play it for my life. If anyone has some suggestions i'd gladly try them.

Holy shit, apparently they took the Repair tool button away (1.5). The people who work at Blizzard are the most incompetent fools on this planet.
edit: And I can't even redownload the EU-version of this game. It's grayed out, and it says I can only download the NA-client. Like, what the fuck are you guys at Blizzard smoking everyday?

Your opinion of PvT hurts
As terran I struggle so much against both Zerg and Protoss these days largely cause I think that it requires me far more effort to win a match than them. I just don't have the APM for multi drop and splitting and all that other crap blizzard forces us to do. Honestly the end-game for terran is so bad that unless your a pro or in a really high league I don't even think it is winnable.So apparently the usual MMR reset for inactive accounts didn't take place this season. I was gonna troll bronze
That probably gets old and boring after like 2 games

Yup. The best is to troll Platinum. Players at platinum get rage'y easily.
