Hi all,

i used to be low GM on sea (hi to everyone that remembers me ^^) entering all the opens goin to the tourneys etc, but i stopped playing from mid season 2 to just now (season 5 i think) and i am enjoying my sc2 again!!!

however a big issue is im far more terrible than i expected after this break.

At first i thought; "its all good im just rusty, ill grind my ladder games and my groove will come back"

however, cpl weeks later this does not seem to be happening. in fact, im playing on my NA acc simply bcause the MMR reset so im vsing high diamonds and still losing, scared to even try ladder on sea anymore until i can get my groove back!

TVP is the worst, TVT is still pretty bad, TVZ im going *OK* but for all matchups its basically at a point i fear any kind of 2+ base macro game as i know i will always lose, but watching all replays still cant pinpoint what the hell it is that im doing different?

so, this post is a cry out to anyone who remembers me, also a big hello and ups to the TA boys, im now a rossi fan boi hahah u seem to be doing awesome mate well done but anyone who would like to help me would be much appreciated as i am starting to fall into the zone of wanting to not play anymore

ill up a cpl recent replays of me vs high diamonds on NA if anyone could take the time to watch would be awesome, or even reply here and ill jump on SEA for cpl practice sessions or something!!

thanks in advance much appreciated !!

also to nirvana and the admins here big ups looks like this site is going up and up awesome work, such a great community site

http://www.sc2sea.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=671 TVZ on NA from today
http://www.sc2sea.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=672 TVP on NA from today... GREAT example this one... its really puzzling to me... along with the fact that alot of people seem to be saying tvp is T favoured LOL i have no chance
http://www.sc2sea.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=673 TVT on NA from yesterday morning, i cant remember the game in detail, but its a 40 minute rep so probably a great example of the TVT issues

thanks again, TA fighting ~!

update: ive jumped on SEa and had 1 win 2 losses, feeling alot stronger vs what i think is low master on SEA compared to palying against high diamond on NA... this is very different to how the 2 servers differed back in season 2... if anyone can add info on comparison of player skills around this league/rank would be great

mid gm sea is super high masters NA, So mid masters sea is prob's high high diamond NA... hard to say.

not only have you gotten worse during your hiatus, everyone else has gotten better - don't worry, if you keep playing youll get back to where you were I know the feeling, although i only ever had a few weeks off, never like 6months.

Good to have you back Clock, and keep playing! GL

I know exactly what you are going through. I was only gold/diamond on sea/na respectively so Im not that good, but I was overseas pretty much all of 2011 and Im just getting back into sc2 again.

Placement matches put me in plat (na) but Im pretty sure Ill be going down to gold soon :|

I dont have heaps of time to read up on the current metagame and get my head in the zone, but brute forcing the ladder with a buttload of matches isn't helping...

My only recommendation is to take some time analysing recent pro replays and your own. Its what Im starting to do and its helping.

As for my terrible hand/mouse coordination Im screwed

No lol, Platinum on SEA is Diamond on NA. Until masters the NA standard is really low.
