1) yes

2) late phase 1 beta

3) weekdays 5ish hours weekends until exhaustion

tips: keep playing. learn from your mistakes, improve yourself (be it physical finger/hand reflexes, thinking/thought process reflexes), diversify your strategy, and improve your micro/macro. replays of your own mistakes is fine and all, but try to reach to a point where you can KNOW what went wrong without the replay. that way, you save that replay time, and can use it to play more games, get more experience etc.

some people does some things better than others naturally. while the rest have to work hard for it. kore ga jin sei da. (that is life) wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

i wouldnt say 5x, however it is relatively easier compared to SEA. of course, if you want the ultimate diamond brag, theres the korean servers.

no need screenshot, just link his profile (need to find on bnet/in game, deodorant posted a Q on that, nows a good time to give it a shot lol).

and btw diamonds players are known to have less than/around 50-60% winrate, as we can see for everyone's SEA diamond siggy here on LYN
same goes to US too btw, lowest diamond winrate ive seen is like 51%? IINM

You're gold , there is two leagues above you.what about diamond players? He is already at the top already :/

i dont get it, hes diamond plat on 2v2, but bronze 1v1? rofl? somemore highest point in the world lol

few person's problem surely doesnt equate the entire system being flawed, much less greatly flawed.

1) no point over saturating the mineral line unless you have plans to expand and transfer workers
2) sub 100 supply getting block for short periods isnt as crucial as the beginning where you can ALWAYS find ways to spend your excess resources while being block and it is most of the time useful too. eg: upgrades
3) for minerals thats the case, however for races like zerg, if ur going mutas, that wont be the case as you'll be larvae starved to go mutaling combo. that, and pre-muta you will have gas stockpile. (similar scenarios may apply to other races too)
4) what if your opponent put a wrench to your plan? still stick with it? (eg: i plan to mass reaper, opponent only got stalkers, what do now? stick to reapers and hand him the game?)

but of course, it is basic things (rather, GUIDELINES) for a reason, the point being to not follow it blindly.

really depends on numbers, the rays takes like almost a sec to "apply" (as in, the rays may be on the marine, but he doesnt immediately vaporize)
while marine stimmed, you get the idea. cheaper, easier to mass with reactors and all.

unless the voids are having cliff abuse advantage, the overall advantage favors the marine greatly. voids typically arent good to take out massed units that anti air after all. charge or not charged. and non charged voids, might as well forget it lol

same mineral cost minus the gas, and can build much faster than the void assuming with reactor. hell, make it 6 cuz of the 2x pairs.

grats

try to beef up your apm, and create a bigger disparity in the end game score.

nothing surprising

i hate the point gain/loss ratios at diamond LAWL

60-110+ avg (lowest -> highest APM terran<protoss<zerg)

peaks/spikes at highest 380+ apm or something (again, playing zerg)

im only plat anyways unless you want to count my 3's/4's www

But it works for him and he got eighty five thousand us dollars

tester aka ssks eats cheese with wine.

he was proxy 2 gated cheese, and yet he held it off and had a HERO ONE zealot and probe to kill his enemy while he defend

and hes the only GSL player AFAIK with consistant 400++ avg APM (not current and not spike, consistant average lol)
