It's a pretty cool site you got there, I didn't have that many games to upload only 30 working replays. Now according to them my hardest matchup is mirror matchups with ALL the races.
Apparently my weakest is zerg, but I only had 6 games with them so it's not so accurately, specially if most of the zerg games was vs other zergs.
When I look through the uploaded replays there is A LOT more then 6 games where I am zerg. How does this work?
you sure youve configured it to consider you as playing random? other than that idk.
.. i didnt have so many reps etiehr. jsut uploaded some i'd saved withc was probaby not a great representation, as it was old and mostly wins. sicne then im continually adding my latest games.
its more convenient than i wouldn have though asnyou can upload many reps with just a few clicks.
still not sure what to make of the stats though..
It's a brilliant site. If only i hadn't deleted my old replays, I would've been able to keep a pretty tight record of my ladder wins/losses. It's hard to separate 1v1 ladder and 1v1 custom games though.
Other than that, it seems that a lot of the cooler features aren't included yet.
Also, I'd suggest the a handy program called " SC2Gears ". It has a lot of awesome features, even though I mainly use it to rename my replays. When used to analyze a replay, it can provide a lot of useful information such as Macro/micro APM, detailed BO's, mouse print recording and a whole lot more.

SC2analysis.com is awesome. I'll definitely use that to keep track of myself from now on.
I'm doing okay I guess
There's a custom game/ladder game filter built-in too, so it's not hard. You just need to know where the button is. I haven't used it in a while though, so, I can't remember, but I found it with ease so it shouldn't be too hard.Quote:

Here's how things look for me so far:
PvT - can almost always transition into the midgame without a disadvantage, so this matchup is fine. Good terrans still kick my ass though as usual.
PvZ - my worst MU by far. Every once in a while i run into some more solid players and it just feels impossible to beat them. Map control & not being crushed in worker count? Not likely.
PvP - the toss players on my level are garbage lol. I don't know what the problem is but the zerg players are gosu in comparison.
I really shouldnt of played another 20 games of random/zerg.. brought me down 200 pts or so, and made my record go from 56% to borderline 50% =[ I won almost all my ZvP and TvP, but was just so bad at TvT and ZvZ. bleh.
Think im gonna stick with P for now on, even tho its annoying to play this patch, I rather PvP than TvT or ZvZ.
climbed 300 pts today though, will try to get up there this week maybe
Hehe, I know that feeling. I am starting to feel more that I should stick to a single race. It's leaning toward protoss because of PvP being the most diverse matchup for me. And then maybe terran also TvT can feel a bit one sided but I lose mostly because I do stupid things.
Now I don't feel like playing zerg at all, I don't understand how to play a ZvZ. It always feels as if I lose WAAAY behind them every time, it's only sometimes that I manage to win. But then it feels like it's pretty even.
But should I really skip random? I mean it feels "me". Since I've heard that so many random always cheese or proxy, but I can like big macro games ;)
... if ZvZ is whats holdign your random back, we should probably at least tr y to practise it and talk about it.
.. but if you are not feeling zerg play overall, i geuss jsut go P or T
Hm, I have just recently found better ways of playing ZvP and ZvT. So I think it's mostly mirror matchups.
its funny how that works.. I equally play P and Z almost, but can't stand T.. if only there was a 2 race random option =[Quote:

So Silencbank....why couldn't your team beat djWHEAT, wacksteven and inControL??? :p Shoulda used "special tactics".:D
They were a better team. We were just 3 random guys playing together. For like the last 10 minutes of the game I had no money at all and there was no resource trading amongst us at all. If any of my friends had been online, we could have taken them.
Ah I see. Unfortunate.Quote:

in oteh news, i gradually stopped caring about losing, played a little to much without reflecting, adn ost a little too much to various gimmicky one-base-timing, closepositions etc..
so, for now im just plat. and having my most serious attempt at playing terran since beta. TvT and TvP is kinda cool and kinda easy at my current level, but its funny, i havnt won a stiraght game of TvZ yet. probably because all the zerg play makes me stuck in macro mode, letting them take the map... Im learning though! and having some fun with reapers and ravens on my way.
Don't forget to use the annoying terran units. Blue flame hellions and cloaked banshees. And watch out for them 6-gates.:pQuote:

well im still facing diamond palyers every otehr game, and im more about learning to manage the matchup "for real" and becoming able to do OK with it as i improve.. but thanks for the advice. if i get desperate ill try it.
So what does a kind of outside perspective on TvT and TvP feel like???Quote:

in TvT iv mostly opened helions. with good sucess. later, im fine with marine/tank/viking wars, but not afraid to mix that up with some Thors and ravens to help dominate teh airspace, using BC's when i do.
but yeah, im pretty bad; games get quite chaotic.
From a P PoV, ghosts can completely mess you up. IMO once a T reaches the point where he has 2 bases up and running, ghosts can be quite a worthwhile investment. Considering how vital sentries are in the MU, a few EMPs can make a significant difference, especially since sentries tend to clump up. Not to mention, the huge damage EMP does to P gateway units.Quote:

I don't understand why we don't see the raven used more often
Maybe because it requires Protoss to go stalker heavy for PDD to be very worthwhile and marauders do really well against stalkers anyways.:p Perhaps in a few more days I'll go back to laddering.:D
Yeah true, but I still think having a single Raven at hand is useful, not only for PDD's, but also for sniping observers and maybe even harassing mineral lines with turrets ; )Quote:

Nothing to do with internal ranks in your division.
it can take a while; the system promotes you when (if) your consistently performing at a platinum level. The plat players you are beating MAY just be gold's in disguise - plat players on a downturn, heading for a demotion.
.. i srsly wish it was easier to asnwer your question. its a silly system.
-me thinking to myself while laddering-
"Woo, I just hit 600 points, I wonder how close I am to the top of diamond for sc legacy."
-goes to the ranking site, notices Ronin at 700+-
"FUUUFUFUUUFUUUUUUUUUU"
Damn you Europeans. Gotta try to be better at EVERYTHING. EU top of Masters division and top of Diamond division. Sure, AM tops every other league, but that's not what we are fighting for!! First I will take back the Diamond league for us Yanks. And then I will fight for the Master's title as well (eventually, maybe, probably, hopefully).
I am coming for the top of Diamond, and I will not rest until I get it! Well, except for tonight, I am tired so I am going to sleep..BUT TOMORROW, I will go for that number one spot!!
Well, maybe not tomorrow, its kind of a bad day for me...SOON...SOON I will go for that number one spot and it will be mine...or someone else's. This I swear to you!
to play the eurotroll for a bit, i'd like t point out that the general skill level in EU is widely considered to be higher than that on NA, meaning each of your points is arguably less hard-earned than each of ours ... ;)Quote:

(becsue who belongs where is determined with only the 'active' players relative skill-gaps as benchmarks)
... so who else got promoted @ reset?
