Post a replay in the replay analysis thread so we can see that. If you really want to get out I will coach you and get you out of it.

that's because if you maintain a consistent 60%+ winrate and use up all your bonus pool, you're likely to get to top of your division simply by virtue of being a side effect of a higher MMR.

you can get to the top of your division just by having 50% winrate and spending all your bonus pool. How many top diamond players (for example) do you see each season with 300ish wins and 300ish losses? They aren't close to Masters, despite what they may think. The people close to Masters are the people below them with 100 wins and 70 losses.

Yeah this is all true.

I guess this season ill make my goal to play at least 5 games a day, watch all my replays and critique, and get some coaching. That way I wont have to think about leagues and points and silliness

an admirable goal. you'll see huge returns on this if you stick to it for several weeks.

I probably got myself from low/mid-gold to plat with just like...2 weeks of this exact regime without the watching replays and coaching. Just 5 games a day.

Season 6 :

:P

[AxSGRiM]

******* terribad start as I won the game btu my pc crashed... hopefully can still get dat thouh!

[Kepler]

I six pooled a Protoss who thought it was a good idea to nexus first on Antiga.

Got Diamond, yay.

[Rageboredguy]

I was going to make a post about how i got diamond again after being diamond since season 1, since i had never played enough games to get promoted (no more than 20 last season), and that i was going to try really hard to play more games and get promoted. But then i got promoted to masters on my fifth game of the season

[x5.NotoriouS]

going to play very much this weekend to try and make GM.

after many a season in & , and race changes from terran to zerg and back, i have finally hit as Terran. Having tried all the others, i am finally settled into the race i want to be - the one with 50 mineral units that shoot up and down and scale amazingly with upgrades. Terran suits my playstyle the best, when i was last terran i wasnt good with stim or tanks. Herpa Derp.

My initial plan was that i would hit plat without any help or real build order, but once i hit plat i was goign to tighten things down a bit and get some coaching to shoot for diamond by the end of s6. And essentially i have done it, hit plat while still not really having tight build orders, just some general ideas that get tightened up a bit over time. To achieve diamond i will:-

1) get coaching from AsGChobo - already arranged, just waiting for him to get back from holidays;
2) play 4 games on the SEA server every day. last season i played heaps of games on other servers (the thought being that i would get more practice at the same MMR without actually really caring whether i win or lose, to then go back to SEA and be better than my SEA MMR. gold is srs bzns k?!?!);
3) play in the GPD as many weeks as possible. I want to be in diamond, so i should be playing against as many diamonds in srs situations as possible.

If you see me around sc2sea or online, please feel free to ask how i am going to keep me motivated. i REALLY want to hit diamond by the end of this season.

So good that so many people are getting promotions. sc2sea

we have same goals and avatar, add me in game, we can help each other with progress

also, what is this GPD? it sounds useful.

[inFeZa]

I'm not touching a game on my main at the moment. Going to use my smurf to freely level up. Less Stress, more less worrying about my rank. I know where i am in terms of skill level, and i don't want it to be interrupted by a losing streak.
