Awesome. Good to see you following through with it dude.

A suggestion, if I may - try and stay away from cheesy builds. While it will definitely win you games in the lower leagues, you aren't actually learning anything from them. Better to do regular builds, and learn how to defend against the cheesy ones.

Hi, thanks for the support. I nearly ever use cheeses except maybe for the proxy hatch on zvp, and i usually get to midgame / late on those games. Its just so they cant build up that fast. Col.CatZ does it sometimes and it really works. Even if they scout it you force him to make canons or pull probes out of the mineral line.
I also all in on ZvZ because i thought they would too. But as i see korea is different. They play standard on lower leagues. On europe is pretty much cheese untill high platinum/diamond. (Thats how i learnt how to stop bunker rushes)

thanks a lot for reading

Forever BRONCE!!!!!!!!

haha but seriously GL, this looks like the start of a nice series

Great thing about these are it makes you analyse the games which does wonders for your learning of the game.

And going from BRONCE to gold already on KOREA is no small feat, grats

all your games were pretty cheesy -_-

Cheesing your way up leagues is the wrong way to do it mate, eventually you will get to a point where people can hold off your cheeses, and when you have to play standard you will be 10x worse than you would be if you started from bronze and worked your way up to gold- holding off all-ins, expanding and out - macroing your opponents.

Try to play standard in EU at least

I like your initiative, but cheesing just to get wins is pretty disappointing. I think we'd rather see you lose more while playing standard than getting arguably pointless wins while cheesing. Since your goal is to get from Bronze to GM playing standard right off the bat will be better long-term.

There's nothing wrong with occasional cheeses, but cheesing in most of your games is the wrong way to go. I'll throw in the occasional proxy hatch vs Protoss or 7 pool spine-rush vs Zerg but that's about it. Try to learn most of the standard builds and stray away from cheesing too much.

what the other people said, but hey, you're still doing well!

You're going for GM on Korea? Not to be a wet blanket or anything but you may want to set a more realistic goal, it's more effective than setting a skyhigh goal that you'll most likely not achieve. Take small steps - aim for Diamond first, then Masters, and if you're still going strong, then perhaps you can set your eyes on GM.

GL!

No, im going to try being a GM on europe, im just having practice on korea, since they are better. In a couple of hours i will post Day 1. Played alot of ladder today. Thanks for commenting

Sounds like you are a better player than bronze that's for sure. So I'm guessing this challenge may not be as hard as we all thought. Good scouting is a key part of any win. Anyway, go for cheese if it's going to give you a win, don't worry about what others are saying, you will learn from others here than cheese will onyl take you so far and will eventually get stomped on in higher leagues.
I look forward to the beginning of the real games though.
