I think playing with better players will still help you improve even if you only can play a few games a day. Not to be offensive or anything but if you're really as "bad" (pardon!) as you think you are you will get demoted (pardon again...) and be able to play in all those tournaments again.

If you do well then you can view it as improvement

Thanks Crazerk! It really takes alot of time to get into GM league. But once u get there you can just play a few games a day to ''maintain'' and keep ur hands sharp! So pick a period when you would have time to make a solid push and then u can sit back on it like ur doing in Master league right now!

Play 10 games a day. IF you are really plat/diamond standard, in 1 week time you'll be demoted and you can join PDCL

Just lose a bunch and get demoted. If you don't need masters league, get rid of it. You aren't a gayladin with full tier, who just got it to dance at AH or mailbox.

...o wait...

@next_rim Lol -_- But anyway, I don't think tournament organisers will see too kindly if my match history showed me Loss farming

@the rest
An honest assessment of my skill level ATM would be of low diamond-ish? I'm beating most (95%) high plats w ease, not getting many diamond matchups tho (prob cos the acct I'm on is at Gold =x)

Oh Lemminks (diamond or masters can't rem) played w me when I just came back, he said I was gold level Zerg LOL.

I think I'll do just that, train against diamonds abt 3 games a day, ladder 3 games a day. Any takers? Heh

I'll play with you! We used to practice quite a bit back in the day!

Hello ! I'd have the same experience with you , once i hit masters on June , i'd stop playing . Lost most of my games and felt restless . Up to now then i'll come back . Good luck in getting back to the game

Eh not quite sure I buy it :P

I quit BW for years and within a week or two was back to where I was. In my experience it's a brutal slog to get better at Starcraft, but once you've attained a certain level maintaining it doesn't take so much work.

not buying it? In the random occasion when I get Zerg (I'm laddering w random now) I still lose the occasional matchup, esp against toss . Deathball a click is hard to beat (I use it as Toss too, so it's not purely a Zerg- QQ moment.)

all the best in ur venture for demotion mate ^__^ but i reckon... MMRatings will take sometime before they really demote/promote you.... so be patient..
