Are people just really bad in diamond/plat tiers? I just played a game where i was going to dt rush. My opponent 2 rax'd at his natural and made 2 marines. I attacked with one zealot. Cross map. He dies, somehow. My single zealot kills 2 marines and 3 scvs as the guy was trying to FE? He then taps out even though I wasn't sending any more units to his base...
Stopped offracing

And by actually playing, I mean, i stopped offracing and went back to toss. 40 games later and I've gone from silver to high plat. I'm awful at this game, my macro is bad and i don't even know any builds. I'm just randomly picking a unit, getting it as fast as possible, then attacking at random times.

Anyways, your C- mechanics should be enough to get you to diamond easy. Just play a bit more and you should do fine. SC2 is BW with oblivion minus the maphack lol | ||

SC2 is BW with oblivion minus the maphack lol I was d, barely d+ in bw and i can beat high diamonds easily (am mid masters now), dunno but maybe you don't put in enough effort or you just don't have the same mindset you had in bw for c- ? Hope you get in masters soon~~ ^^ | ||

I continually suicide into his army over and over with fail storms and grouping, etc. So I can understand why he was annoyed when he lost. Warp prism harass is pretty awesome, especially if you never give them a reason to make air (ie skip colossus) in pvz. Just fly off the side, find somewhere in their base not covered, warp in 4 zealots or dts and kill some tech building, fly away. (Granted, this shouldn't ever work vs a competent opponent). I hate collosus and immortals, robo tech is incredibly boring. Also, archons are still awesome, glad to see they aren't as shitty as they were in beta. Some fun screenshots from that game So this is the last fight.... my army looks a bit small But there are storms. Getting 20+ templar can be pretty funny. Just 2+ constant seconds of storm on everything. | ||

Yea if you were C- you should be able to get into masters without too much effort. | ||

I mean, it's fairly easy to get to low masters without BO or timings like I did. I'm pretty sure that if I played more, I'd easily get fairly high rated although I consider myself to be a fairly bad player. | ||

I just played a pvz where I went dts, was scouted, went dts anyways, killed nothing, and then just sat around and denied his 3rd /4th over and over with dts while taking a 3rd+4th, then taking a 5th+6th whenever i thought he had his fourth.

Hope you get in masters soon~~ ^^ Yeah it's the effort that's the problem. I have terrible time management and I want to focus on school for now so I haven't been focusing on my play lately. Hopefully I can force myself into Masters in the summer | ||
