    Looks like Season 7 is over! Everyone told me that the career medals you earn for finishing a season reflected your random league placements, not your best league placements, so I spent the past 2 days draining a 300 point bonus pool for my random 3's, lol. Turns out, what got displayed was my Master league medal. Could have used that time to easily get my 1's to rank 1. Oh well, still a pretty awesome first season.

    Finishing stats for my first season:

    374 league wins

    1's: Gold (11)
    2's: Diamond (8)
    3's: Master (61)
    4's: Diamond (3)

    That was a pretty fun game backtothis ^^
    I let my macro slip that game though, only 3 base the whole time >.>
    Nice back and forth action the whole game, though =]

    Yeah, you were going all in on one base for quite a while. I was surprised when I saw that colossus so early. No way I could have won that first battle. Scanned your natural afterwards, and you had only just dropped your expo. I think I killed 4 observers total xP. Did a ton of scouting that game with scans instead of dropping mules. I tried taking every base besides the 3 you had, lol.

    Lol yah bro, I was trying out some weird 2 collosi allin xD. Didn't work out too well :p Works in PvP, though.
    Yeah you were really on top of your scans; I had to keep on rebuilding my obs the whole game. Do you see the animation of my obs moving, or do you just scan your army periodically just in case?

    Well, I was excepting your scout. It always comes around the same time, so I saved a scan for it. Saw it as soon as it popped into my base. I generally see it moving around on top of my army. Gives me a good chance to fake out the opponent on where my army is moving once I kill the observer.

    Won 15 games in a row tonight. Holy shit. Got promoted to Master League for 4's as well. Didn't lose a single game. Crazy night. Played way too freaking much though. Work in about four hours. 7 hour shift too..

    My friend and I just played our Season 8 placement for 2's. Turns out, we got matched up with two Grandmasters. One of them was NesTea. We're only Diamond for 2's. Yep.

    If you don't plan on going pro then your ethnicity isn't a barrier at all. Only reason why Koreans dominate the pro scene is because they practice the hardest (imo). I've heard pretty bad things about their grueling practices in SC: BW.

    Whoa, nice dude. Diamond is excellent. I'm still not too interested in playing 1's xP. Can't stop playing team games.

    Thanks! =]
    Yeah, team games are great. Besides being more exciting, they're also less stressful for me, since I (hopefully) have a partner that can help me out when I'm in trouble.
