    It's about new thread time in about two pages, or three to four pages if you roll 25 posts per page. I have a feeling this thread won't make it through the night and I won't be awake to catch it.

    Guess I'll check in the morning (8 or 9am EST).

    2) Do you want a co-caster

    When do promotions happen? I feel the itch for silver. I'm at 3rd on my Bronze league, and I keep hitting Silver players.

    Edit: also someone in my league has 5,000 games, literally. How does that happen? How can that happen?

    Pretty sure promotions don't depend on how high you are in your league. They're based off your hidden rating, you get promoted if you get some games vs a higher league and have a 50% or higher winning ratio against them (note, I don't know the exact number of games).

    Oh wow, where's the usual squad? Those brackets are ripe for the taking Joe K :D


    And good lord, that's the worst map pool I've ever seen. It's like you decided Protoss should never win at all.

    so, if I was facing a lot of 1700-1800 players and kept going .500

    and then a lot of 2k-2200 players and I kept going .500

    and now I'm play 2400-2600 players and going .500 pretty steadily

    I should figure the system thinks I'm getting better right?

    way way way way when the game launched I somehow went +15 games over .500 and I'm still there. I don't fall back but can't gain ground.

    I wasn't aware that there were any maps that hurt protoss. How are any of those bad for protoss?

    I think you can roughly estimate your progress by looking at your regional points percentile and how it changes over time.

    Far from an accurate indicator of anything, but probably the best measure on hand aside from promotion to masters league.

    scrap is good pvt, tvz, zvp

    blistering is shit lets not talk about it

    metal is totally dependent on spawns

    But they're opinions a bunch of us can agree with. As a dedicated zerg player, I consider most matches an easy win if they're on sands or scrap station.

    I feel that Lost Temple is one of the more difficult maps for zerg as well, but damn if it's not a classic.
