As you may or may not know the 2012 Season 4 is already a week old and I normaly do the wrap ups days before the new Season. I wanted to do one but I figured that the results of the Season are not that accurate. Sure I win TvZ lose ZvP and have 50/50 ZvZ but I had huge drops and also increases of skill during this Season (S32012) due to the unsteady practice.
If you followed my blog you should've reaslized that I was knocked out for the majority of the time. The Season started with the start of the summer holidays in germany so I was playing alot in the first two weeks making ~150 games in this limited amount of time with my friend because I knew about the upcoming time.
The struggle started with being in Spain (struggle manely focused on SCII practice ^_^) because I was disabled for one and a half week already. If you ever tried to get good at Starcraft you'll know how much a week of not practicing hurts you.
I arrived back home being sick with fever and a burning throat denying my practice for an additional week. If we add that together we are already at a two and a half week break which is huge already but it's not a biggy because it's still almost two weeks to play right? NO

We are at 3 weeks of forced 'Starcraft Vacation'.
So we are in the first week of school and I was all about organizing the new semester. I played but it's not enough to make up for the 3 weeks. Next week I cought the chickenpox disabeling me even longer.
We are looking break of 5 weeks. The following week I had to recover schoolwise and catch up with the missed subjects. 6th week.
7th week I spend in Rome where I destroyed my Laptop too.
So we are looking at a 7 week disability to get in proper practice in.
Somehow I still managed to improve alot and win 1.6k people and end up with 1.1k with a 500 bonuspool. Still I think it was all a bit goofy and unorganized but hey - It's summer what are you supposed to do ;)?
I am trying hard to reach my old form and play alot better this upcoming Season and post some results.
Though it is a double edged sword I am really looking forward to the winter so I can play alot more consistant and hit a Grandmaster level niveau because that's my next target to achieve. Beating a Grandmaster.
