Thnaks I added you.

So I played a few more practice games. Won them, so with a 3/3 record I went to play the placement matches. I won 2/lost 2 and one of them my opponent disconnected and i was awarded the win. They have placed me in silver league. Wtf I am a complete newb at the game, literally without a clue how do I get to the bronze league where I belong?

Just play and you'll get matched with people near your skill level. I think in the beginning you just have to fight through it. Don't worry so much about your league. If you won 2 games that probably means you aren't a window-licker.

Some people in Bronze are absolutely awful.

The more you play the better the system gets.

aren't bronze and silver leagues pretty much the same ? (i'm not saying this to be a dick, but like...the skill differences between the two have to be similar, no?)

In the past, yeah.

There is a huge skill jump between low silver and high silver though. (lol experience)

Its all perception. Its like when all the 2/4 players would say the difference between 25nl and 50nl was negligible. And then when you talk to the 25/50 players theyll tell you the difference between 1/2 and 2/4 is negligible.

This quote kind of tilts me:

Quote:

We’ve seen that rotationally symmetric four-player tournament maps can provide an advantage depending on where you start compared to your opponent and which races are involved in the match-up.

Seriously? It took you guys that long to realize that rotationally symmetric maps are imbalanced except when you're in cross positions? Just make every 4p map mirrored across some axis. How hard is that to do?

At first glance the 1v1 map looks ok. The second one shows that blizzard doesn't ****ing learn at all. The text implies you can spawn everywhere. Can't ****ing wait for vertical positions against a terran, it's been a while since I lost to a terran pushing a narrow corridor with tanks...

The rocks are only on the base one might take for a 4th, right? I assumed the spawns were top-left, bottom-right.

i just made a thread to try to get ppl to post 2 base timing attacks so we can all learn them off each other instead of pulling them from tl/reps

i'm imagining this thread taking off and people googling "sc2 2 base timing attack" and arriving here and this forum becoming the alternative to TL for strategy since TL is so overrun

Besides that, it's actually pretty open compared to some of the positions terran can get right now.

So I won 1/10 of my first ladder matches after placement. Should have won a few others but made lol mistakes that literally cost me whole game. I also played 2 diamonds and 3 golds wtf?

Right now the ladders are locked so people can't be demoted out of their league.

Around this time a lot of people lose on purpose so that they play lower level players. So while it shows them having a diamond or gold league icon, their MMR is really wherever you are at.

S5 starts on, I want to say, Monday so everything will get reset (besides the MMR).

You'll have to play 1 placement match and it'll put you in another division with new ladder members.

Seasons last 2 months.

Thanks for info. I didn't mind playing them at all, losing doesn't bother me except when I lost due to my own stupidity. Like I had a guy out supplied by 40 z v z but he had mutalisks and therefore won by default. No anti air

On Tuesday: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/410...2_13_2011#blog

Season 5 starts the week of the 19th so maybe like Tuesday or Thursday? I can't remember which day they usually update everything.
