    Thanks for the headsup, B2T. Listened to a cast of one of your games, and was impressed by their commentary (quite good for such relatively unknown SC2 casters). I'll probably send in a game for them to cast.
    Any idea what league they are?

    You should definitely check out some of his other videos where he "dual-casts" as alter egos. It's so good. Yeah, be sure to send in some 1's that you thought were good.

    Finally got promoted to Platinum for 1's. Gold was such a joke, lol. Had over 600 points before I was promoted. Already in the top 8 for Platinum xP. Hopefully, I'll be in Diamond before the season is over. Might be able to pull off Masters for 2's, 3's, and 4's before the season is over too. Top Diamond for 2's and 3's right now and already Masters for 4's!

    Nice, hope you're able to get to masters soon. Season ends beginning of September, so you still got another month =]

    Btw, Patch 1.5 came out today, and seems like it broke a lot of the game, lol. A bunch of unit characteristics are off (cost/upgrades) amongst other things. For the most part it's alright though. Blizz completely redesigned the main menu UI, which is pretty nice imo.

    The Arcade has really made quite a few custom games very popular. Really glad to see macromicro games filling up in under a minute now. It used to be impossible finding a game that had anyone. So far, I've really only played monobattle, peep mode, and macromicro, since they're pretty much deviations of normal gameplay. Might check out some of the interesting custom games when I get a chance though. So many of them out there.

    Season 8 ends tomorrow. Played a total of 470 games this season. Played 661 last season..was way too addicted to the game during those first two months. Still am. Definitely the best RTS I've ever played. Hope I can finish in top diamond for 1's next season! Getting better and better xP.

    Season 8:

    1's-top plat
    2's-top diamond
    3's-middle diamond
    4's-low master

    Whoa, congrats ^
    Btw, how good are the people you face in team games (top diamonds/low masters ones)? Like in my 2v2 diamond league, my friend and I were usually facing people that were 1v1 golds, lol.

    Cannot wait for the finished product coming later this year. It's going to change the game completely though, meh. Going to have to experiment tons again.

    Been watching some of the HotS streams on twitch.tv and I gotta say pretty much everything being added atm is super overpowered xP
    I think it was the same way in WoL beta - most of the units were overpowered and then Blizzard nerfed them as beta went on.

    Balancing a RTS with different factions is probably as hard is it gets. Generally, Blizzard does a good job. Games below GM and high masters are pretty balanced. It's only in those top tiers where the tiniest things matter.

    Season 4 of 2012 has finally started. Man, the past season was a month longer than season 2. Somehow, I still played fewer games this past season than I did during my first season..

    Hope placements go well!

    Got placed back into 1v1 Diamond again even though I lost my placement. Pretty happy about it, since my friend who was in Diamond last season got demoted to plat even after winning his placement xP

    What's insane about this forum thread is that 95% of the posts in it are from two people, so what we're essentially reading here is an extended conversation between two guys lasting over three months with the occasional nosy douche poking in and offering their unwanted two cents.
