Season 8 - Wuhu

As usual I am presenting you the stats of the prior Ladderseasion and my increase and or decrease in terms of win/loss and skill in the 3 different matchups. (plus I want to give you information for the next post which is going to be another tactical analysis) but first things first, the Ladderstandings at the end of Season 7.

So I actually managed (against all the odds) to get 1,000 points in the past Season and I am proud of it. To be completely honest I didnt expect me to get this far in my second Mastersseason but yeah it's awesome.

Let's  take a look at my different Matchups in detail...

My ZvZ is by far the worst matchup in this statistic due to my lagg of experience in terms of metagame etc. Recently I started to look at it in a little different way and won to 1.2k Zergs.

My ZvP is basically about either losing to stupid allins or bashing them in macrogames.

My ZvT is pretty straight forward... I kill Mech and Tank Marine lose to pure Bio play and that's being displayed in my Win Loss.. 76% win is decent I guess and it is a display of the things I said in my last Seasons analysis (my ZvT is actually by far my best MU).

I am also seeing a difference in APM. I increased my APM in every matchup for at least 20.
For the people being interested in the differences (Season 6 & 7) I am going to post the stats from the prior season here:

Going in depth with the maps...

Who would've expected a different result? (Daybreak > Cloud Kingdom > Shakuras > Antiga Shipyard > Ohana LE > Entombed Vaelly > Metalopolis)

Daybreak as being the most balanced map in the pool is by far my best map, Ohana and Entombed as being the most imbalanced maps are my worst! = D but let's get over with the hate. I won't compare the maps with the one from the prior season cuz the maps were pretty shit.

I am now going to reset my replay folder and so on... if any of you is interested about my evolvement from 1/2 a year ago I posted the earliest replay (in terms of being played) on drop.sc.
CLICK ME
That's all I've got ~ take care guys

Mission accomplished!

I just reached my goal but since I am on somekind of a winningstreak I'll just expand my aim towards the 1.000 points benchmark. I hope that I'll make it.

Playing alot over the...

the past ( enlarged ) weekend made me realize how much I improved.

I just wanted you to let you know this but I made huge steps towards me being decent in Starcraft II. In fact I had close toe to toe games with these guys (argueably the points don't show that but thats standart if you lost). I am pretty proud of myself to even getting that MMR up there this fast and maybe I am going to be able to take a win of those guys (but I had to interrupt my epic flow of winning a sh*tload by going to school and therefor my Skill dropped a bunch).
I also screwed my 100% Win percentage against Terrans with these games (and the games I totally lost the following day due to being tierd).
Anyways guys that's all I've got just improving a bunch.

Working for my goal

...of reaching the magic 900 pts Mark

(click to enlarge)

Though the motivation of playing for my Clan dropped by alot (mostly caused by this Diablo bulls**t) my personal eager has been rising.
I am laddering alot right now and I may be able to reach (at least) 850 points this season (when I am able to keep my practice schedule).
I am currently beating alot of 800 - 900 points dudes but to reach my secret aim I have to also constantly beat people with a total of 1000 points.
So I am optimistic and I will continue laddering and continues posting (hopefully - though I did not have a recent thing bothering me so I could write about it =D).

(updated Laddersats)

In the end of this post I wanted to show you my current ladderstandings (caused by my lack of playing when the season opened my amount of games is quiet low) and a Song I totally enjoy listening at the moment which is
"Euphoria" by Loreeen cause eversince I listened to this awesome piece of music my Ladderstats just went "up up up uhup"

Crawling back

into my old shape... kinda

My way to getting back my skill is actually harder than I expected. I am currently trying to fix my ZvP with CarLM who is a british GM MMR Protoss. 

Well what am I supposed to say.. at least he is nice to me -_-
It's not just my gameplay in general that is shit at the moment, especially Protoss is f*cking me up quite badly.
I don't understand the dynamics of ZvP at all it seems.. It came to a point where a Protoss killed me with a 200/200 2-based max army after I killed his Main, Natural and Third. So I asked CarLM for in depth practice session. Well - as you can see in the picture - I did not do so well I guess..
Anyways! I am taking a huge amount of my day to play Starcraft II at the moment and I am trying to sort out my ZvP maybe I can win future games in the Ladder and in tournaments again and get back into my old rythm~
By the way I never was so furstrated in Starcraft 2 ever. My mechanics hold me back so badly. Playing against CarLM made me realize that I am not even close to being good at Starcraft at all. I always thought that my mechanics would at least be decent but they aren't at all. I quickly get frustrated because I know what to do but my hands are not capable of doing the proper things. It feels like I am hold back by boundaries.
I hope I can get back soon and I'll try to post more often.

The ladderseason has come to an end

....and I am going to review it from my pov!

I started of the season by getting into Mastersleague and I was quite happy about that but ever since I was scared by the magical Win/Loss display which affected my play alot in the beginning. I didn't want to reveal my noobyness and I kept that mindset up untill now. I hit the ladder way too few times which is really sad 'cause I wasted alot of time. I don't really care anymore about my Win/Loss. All that actually matters is how good I am and that's the first thing I learnt in Season 6 (???).
I also learnt what to focus on whilest playing. I did really lose because of small tiny mistakes which sucks really bad and I learnt that playing ladder is the best training and it is a "must do" in order to improve.

My Maps

(click to enlarge)

After putting a veto on Cloud Kingdom at first it turned out to be my best map by Win percentage. What's quite the suprise for myself is that Metalopolis is my worst map (Shattered and Korhal are on veto). It's probablly because everybody is hating on that map and goes instant allin on that map. (Translated Maps: Cloud Kingdom, Taldarim Altar, Antiga Shipyard, Shakuras - Plateau,  Metalopolis, Shattered Temple, Korhal Compound)

 My Matchups

(click to enlarge)

Something went wrong.... Protoss... my....best Matchup? o_O 
That's just strange. Somehow I managed to lose alot against Terran eventhough it was used to be my best matchup with 70% win. I don't really think that I got worse in my ZvT it's just that Terrans are way more cheesy in the Masterleague. There are alot of different allins and playstyles which totally confuse me and, not to forget about that, my lategame is ultimately retarded. I usually try to avoid the T3 Broodlord tech 'cause I throw away alot of games at that stage.
I personally dislike the creation "GGLords" for me it should be "PLEASEDROPMEDEATHLords".
It's definitively a huge thing I have to improve on in order to become a solid player.
Another really important thing is to keep my cool and stop throwing away games such as an outmassing protoss on two base. (-_-)

 Rather unimportant stats

This graph is showcasing the Larvaespawningratio and the gap in between the injects and - as you can see - I got worse at it. My spawning larva is another point to improve on.

This graph is showcasing the improvement of my APM to an average of around 210.

 My Ladderpoints

The seasons is not entirely over yet but I still think that I did end the season with reasonable amount of points. I am hopefully capable of hitting the 800 pts. Mark by the end of this Season since I still have approx. 10 days left and vacation!

I still have alot of work to do and I am aiming for atleast playing high Master people in the next season and I am going to put alot of effort into it in order to fufill my goal!
Thanks for your time! Myu

On my way to the top with example!

Hello sexy people! I just made myself a delayed birthdaypresent!
Tihihi my first masterranked opponent I hope it'll continue like this and I have to show you guys some sick music. You sure know example yes? Hes a dubstep rap producer and his most commonly known song is "changed the way you kiss me". Non the lessI went on his side and he has some SICK freedownload mixtapes. If you want to check them out here you go: http://www.trythisforexample.com/p/albums-mixtapes.html
Anyways guys I am so happy :D! Post about some new cool stuff coming up when I see something interesting! 
E: Terran EZPZ thihi
It's interesting to see / feel how the macro from diamond to masters improves 30 x times!

Tihihi...

Eventhough I have a winpercentage of 33% protoss seems to be the weaker race!

Where dem probes at?

In this post I want to tell you guys my progress with the build of GL.Snute. Since I am messing around with the build I am having some minor succsesses vs the protossrace such as the rage you can see in the top of this entry. I am just playing / trying / perfecting it for around 2 days now and I am no pro at it by any means but it seems like I am winning at least some games vs Protoss! Sadly the ladder won't place me against enough protoss to try it more often but I ended up with some cool games non the less (and some cool screenshots). 
I uploaded some replays for you to see my progress. If you want to check them out. But don't expect great shit. My money spikes high as fuck which is normal 'cause I don't know where to do what exactly and I am kinda bad in every other aspect of Zerg because I am focusing so much on the drops.

Stretchin' it ouhhh yaaa!

Hello beautiful people....
It's seems like I'm kinda actively writing again, wuhu! Okay so last time I posted I wrote about, what to do when you either don't have the time, the motivation or the game to play Starcraft. 
This time I'll cover the pre-game things.
It is stretching. In my opinion it is very important to stretch your fingers before playing Starcraft (or any other games that require APM). You'll probaly ask yourself:
"Why should I do it? It's kinda useless. I didn't do it and I can perfom well non the less." I am fine with that, I just try to get out some advices to you. It's not important to me if you use them or not. In the first place they are for me 'cause, as you may or may not know, my hands and my left arm are pretty f***ed up.
My fingers need to be stretched and my arm needs a bandage otherwise my fingers hurt after "spamming" my avg. 200 APM per game. I'll start off with some basic stretching.
On the left side you can see this first very simple task.
It stretches the area right beneth your thump. At first you have to stretch your arm to the maximal extend. Secondly you take your left or right (or both) hands and form a fist. You take your thumb and stick it right into your fist-formed fingers like you can see in the 3rd picture.
The final task is it to bend your fist downwards. It's important to not do it overly fast. You should take it a little bit slower just to not get hurt.

The pictureseries on the right shows an even easier stretching-task. You just need your hand formed (again) as a fist. as you can see in the first picture. The only thing you have to do is pulling your fingers so you form a normal hand again. I actually have a hard time to explain it but just try it and do it SLOW, thats the trick, doing it SLOW!
Anyways, I am done for today :P

Hey guy, I wanted to give you a quick update

about how much i fucking suck. Well that's all. My mindset is kinda screwed, I am still stuck in woodleague and yeah... nuthin more to be told lol!
PLUS Lol I am finally gettin a second account with new MMR which is not screwed over just like my account is right now x3 So MB blizzard is going to give me somekinda... aeh...i dunno..

Doing good..

I trained pretty hard the last days...with my friend 'Plums (Masterleague)', the guy I mentioned earlier, so I improved alot in my multitasking, macroing - the basics - So I forced him to tell me that I have to Ladder. So I forced myself to ladder the whole day and yeah. I'm simply outclassing the retards in my league. I'll roll over my opponents with a 200 supply baneling army when they only have 20. So I managed to do this. (Mark - the losses are only 6Pool Worker allin T.T) So that was decently good and I thinkg that I'm easily able to get into Diamand so I cann reach my first AIM! :) *cheers* That's all for today no extra knowledge to share with you :)
As far (BTW I'm still working on the questions for my interview and I don't want to annoy the EAS-Players during them playing for the EPS. Hope you don't mind but I will do those interviews for sure!
