Incase your lazy i will give a short description. I´m a low level zerg player from the european server that has ladder anxiety and will try to beat that and getting to the grandmasters league in 1 year or less.

Day 0 - The warm up.
This wont really count as a day because i only did the qualifiers + I didnt stream but i´ll do the blog anyway.So, today I felt ready to face the 5 Qualifing Matches from the Korean server and try out the latency , FPS and so.

First match
ZvT Xelnaga
I open really nervous, my hands are shaking, i suddenly feel really cold, tryed to stay calm and perform at my best. I open with the standard 15 Hatch first.
I scout and steal his gas to force him to have delayed siege tanks , cancel the hability of really early banshees or getting stim/ upgrades quickly.
I suicided a ling and saw he was going to reactor helion, placed some spines, did roach warren + baneling nest (was planning to play roach baneling ling as an early game push and then switching to standard mutaling. I succesfully bloked the ramp , killed some of his helions with no loss. I made more roaches and counter attacked.

Counter attacking while making drones at the background.
Destroyed his 2 bunkers , his expansion and killed his supply depot and he surrendered.


I felt more calm and clicked the orange button again.

ZvZ.
As fast as the game starts he see´s im 6 pool all-ining him he GG´s and leaves.
I usually do speedling/baneling expand , but since he is lower league its very risky, most of the lower leagues play all ins with banelings.

ZvT
Hitting the search button again, so far 2-0 of the qualifiers.
He starts bunker rushing me , i succesfully stop it with a fast reaction before the marine gets to the bunker.

So, i move out to his base , with all the lings he forced me to do and tryed to baneling bust him , he sent a cloacked banshee to my town , i was transfuse microing+ trying to micro the lings to make them effective.


ZvZ , Again on shakuras. As i was playing with Silver/gold players i thought no one could really micro and stop a 6 pool all-in.
I failed taking position and he stopped the all in pretty fast.



ZvP Entombed valley.
I open with a speedling expand but i see the chance of doing something cheesy to get some advantage.
YOU SHALL PUNISH PROTOSS THAT FFE!

That killed a few of probes + he coudnt make his nexus for a while.
He scouted killed the hatch but i harrased him with broodlings + a few lings , he succesfully killed with alot of losses and i did a ling runby!

That didnt do much, i ran around with the lings making him waste time and microing his probes to kill them. As fast as he killed him i poked his front door with some roaches + sent some ling/Roach reinforcements!


3-2 on the qualifiers , thats cool. and here is probably the best screenshot.



Started jumping and yelling "YEAAAAAAAAAAAH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH I MADE IT!" Infact got my self really nervous and i coudnt play anymore, Im really happy with this day and my performance (Which i lost the zvt because I wanted to put an evo chambler really early and selected that drone to attack the bunker , realized really late :/), tomorrow i will play as much as i can on the KR server to get used to the presure and then i will start on the european server. Atm saving cash for the KR server, its awsome.


Thanks for reading and supporting, i will keep making this blogs atleast untill i get to GM.
