So, the new season of StarCraft is upon us. As usual, Blizzard placed me into Platinum League. I wasn’t surprised this time around, nor was I disappointed. It’s to be expected by this point.
It makes more sense to me, nowadays, that Blizzard would place us low, and have us fight our way up. Consider the Grandmaster’s league. It doesn’t exist at the beginning of the season. All of the top players on the ladder, every one of them, gets dropped down a league, and has to fight their way into the upper echelon of StarCraft play. Is it such a bad thing if the same logic applies to Diamond and Platinum league?
I had fun, beating up on those Platinum leaguers. And hey, some of them showed me what’s what. But all too soon, I was promoted, and back in the land of my equals.
The first thing I did? Switch to unranked mode, and play a few practice games as Terran. Terran, the only race where I have a less than fifty percent win rate.
On that note, it’s probably worth mentioning that the 2-rax build I recently wrote about hasn’t been doing too well for me. For some reason, it’s worked in many free games, but never in a ranked game. Go figure.
