well I wont be playing this weekend unfortunately, Hurricane Earl is passing right over my head and even though I think its getting better, there was over 20,000 people without power around my area.. 100+ km/h winds and like 70mm of rain.

hurricanes suck. =[

I've never been one to bitch about bugs or drops but this one irks me. I was finishing this epic Desert Oasis game when I dropped. It was a good 30-40 minute game and I worked my ass off. I was Zerg and he was a good Terran. That's a hard match up for me but I was winning and the reward for my efforts was a drop

Damn!

heh yea it sucks when that happens =/ but is ZvT really difficult for you?? Im finding that is much easier now, with the mutalisk "magic box".. but you gotta really make sure your banelings do enough damage.

But man, mutas are so damn deadly. In 2v2 now basically all I do is fast tech to muta, tell my partner to feed me gas while I larva inject to ~14, so I pop out 12 to 14 mutas ASAP and the opponents really cant do anything unless they get 4-5 turrets. Even if I fight head on vs their army, I usually have more mutas than their stalkers or marines lol its so abusive, but thats why mineral/gas feeding really shouldnt be in SC2.

Man, I wish I didn't play yesterday. Lost 80 points... almost at 50% WL ratio. I think I will get to 50% and then start to play and get better. Just don't have the time to play as much as I would like. Also, never play when you are sick and tired...

BTW: I am the first SCL member to break 1000 Diamond.. as soon as this damn thing updates!

[TheRabidDeer]

So... about the subject of the OP.... how are people feeling about our SC:L league rankings? (Take this as a hint ^_^)

I am slowly rising! Er... well I would be rising if it would update my character. It says it updated me 6 minutes ago but its several days old.

Yeh, what I do personally, if I lose more than 3 games in a row, I quit for the night. If I lose more than like 5 games in a total of ~10 or so, I quit for the night. Some nights you just need to stop, and even though you want to keep playing to gain more points, you are on tilt and need to take a break.

And I also have to be in a specific "mood" to play solo.. like I need to feel 95-100% focused, untired and zoned in or else I will lose everything. This leads to only playing like 2 days a week, because the rest of the week I just feel off. I would never play when im sick, cause I did that in beta and it just lead to mass frustration.

Yeah, for some reason ZvT is hard for me. Thors, Tanks, and Marines always seem to catch me out of position on the small maps (where I actually play them ) and I get murdered. But, I've only done ZvT that late 8 or so times. I need more practice.

As long as it doesn't go that late, I'm good.

[Skyze]

its def one of those matches where the zerg has to put on a near perfect performance in order to win.. expo at the correct times, flank at the correct times, etc. once tanks are nerfed though, it will be much more forgiving because thats what stops a lot of the zerg aggression lately. reapers too, but that goes without saying.

[TheEconomist]

Yeah, Tanks just siege up on cliffs and there's not much I can do until Ultralisk which means they'll have Thors by then. I'm not saying that there's a problem, I know it's me whose messing up. Zerg is my weakest and I have very little practice with late game ZvT since it usually finishes early with a win or a loss.

Congrats on the 1000! Maybe I can start catching up on weekends Oh the things which keep a man from his love ...

Also, never play when you are sick and tired...

I agree. That's why my game number is so low (and probably my score too). I only have a small window of time to play each day since I juggle working out (can't do much after a hard work out ), school, girlfriends, family, and moving into a new apartment.

Oh, well. Just know that many others and I love your commentaries
