Did my placement matches with my new account and.....<<drum roll>> got placed in Gold top 25 w00t.  Pretty happy about that - not sure if it is accurate for my current skill level.  I basically 4 gated in all my matches......I think I expanded in 2 of the 5 matches - the others were over before that.

I think my assessment would be maybe I'm somewhere in silver - and I assume I may drop down to silver before too long.....but wtf ever! I'm in Gold yeah! and I'm happy to see some progress!

Season 4 has wrapped up....and well I have to say I'm extremely dissapointed in how it went for me.  I didn't play anywhere close to the number of 1v1 games that I wanted to.  One of the biggest things that held me back was that when ever I log on - I have 4 or 5 friends on that want to 2v2 / 3v3 / 4v4 or whatever - and while I think that is fun.  I also really like to practice 1v1 and ladder in 1v1....hence the new hidden account :)

 

Watched State of the Game ..... and no Nestea / MVP action but lots of other complete randomness.  It was almost 5 hours long and they covered a ton of shit obviously and it was for the most part very entertaining.  It reminded me a lot of All Games Radio back in the day when they would put on a long show and talk about games and a bunch of other random crazyness and super hilarious stuff.  I loved AGR and was crushed when Scott stopped doing it  - I could listen to a 5 or 6 hour podcast at my boring ass job and listen to that all day - it really improved my quality of life at the time.  I still listen to some old episodes - they are still super entertaining.

Here's hoping for a daily 5 or 6 hour Starcraft 2 podcast based on hilariousness and madness in the future - to improve my work life :)

Typo. It's actually SF4AE not SC2.

So season 4's already over? I didn't play a single 1v1 game in that ladder yet ...

The 2012 update for AE really increases the range of the Criminal Upper. Plus I was able to slide under a metso hadouken with a crouching medium kick and combo it into an criminal upper somehow.

Congrats on the gold league placement. That is the rank I am usually hovering around if you ever want to do some practice games. ID = Pick.110
