**** Original Starcraft 2 Thread ****

I don't know what's going on, yesterday they moved me from silver 2v2 - i was rank 40 in my list to bronze where I'm rank 1. I played about 10 games and won 8 of them once they put me into bronze. However looking up the games, I was always paired & playing against either gold or diamond players

Any ideas what is going on there?
 
Got 3 replays here for kar, indie and anyone else who would like to watch them and give me some tips etc. I have one of each match up I've played today :) I've won all 5 so far :eek:! Probably just jinxed myself though haha.

http://screplays.com/replays/milkybk/8350 - This is a TvT. I pushed hard as soon as I was ready and managed to do a fair bit of damage. He went for a dropship in my base at the same time. It's a realyl fun game IMHO. :)


http://screplays.com/replays/milkybk/8346 - This is my TvZ. I took a lot of indies advice very seriously and it worked a treat. He started pushing me back but I kept up my harass and did my best to keep my macro up. Just finished this one and it had the blood pumping :p. The Vikings are more for sight than anything else.


http://screplays.com/replays/milkybk/8348 - This is my TvP. I played it earlier today so can't exactly remember what I did. I know that I pushed at him when I spotted a 2 gates and a robo.

Hope you guys enjoy them. I feel like playing practice matches etc against my friends and people from OCUK is seriously improving my game!

will check these out shortly, just got back from Bestival and can't remember my login details for screps thingy. meh!

EDIT: TvT - Get a reactor on your starport, maybe push sooner. Make more use of your vikings to harass mineral line. combine them with tank seige.. other than that you did pretty damn good. He used the right counter to yours on accident, but you still managed to beat him :)

EDIT2: TvZ - Pretty much perfect... maybe expand a little quicker? thats about it really, your timing push was spot on, and you held back instead of getting greedy which was good :)

EDIT3 - TvP - Really good again, maybe some more harassment. he wasn't that great of a player though, and his manners leave a bit to be desired, to say the least.

I finally got promoted out of Bronze league last night after hovering around 4-5 for ages. I am now in silver league at position 7 after one win! I really don't understand how these leagues work? I thought I'd be starting at the bottom of silver and have to work my way through.

Yeah you would think it would be top/bottom 5 get promoted/demoted each day or something. If you get promoted, you start at the bottom of the next league up and if demoted, the top of the league below. Would make sense to me!

Oh and my plan to play Starcraft 2 all day is off to a bad start as although battle.net is up, I can't seem to search for any multiplayer games. :(
