Dear Chibi,

This morning while being sick at home, I played my placement match for Starcraft 2 Season 5, and was promoted to Diamond league in 1v1 :D yay! But..I forgot to make a screen shot of this wonderful little occasion so, I have nothing to post here :P It’s okay though, since it happened on my NA account and I’ll still get a chance to get promoted on SEA where I’m still in Platinum league.

I’ve been playing better on the NA account (beating Platinum/Diamonds) compared to SEA (losing to Golds/Platinum) It’s a little strange. Maybe the play-style is different, or I’m focused more on mechanics since I’m training there, or because I’m more relaxed since I don’t take NA as seriously, or maybe there’s so little players on SEA that the skill difference isn’t as huge. Too many factors XD

Nevertheless, it is a nice little encouragement :) I want to keep getting better and hopefully be in Diamond on SEA as well! Then one day..just maybe, I’ll start to hot-key my army ^^;

Dear Chibi,

Yesterday I realised I hit 1000 league wins in Starcraft 2; here’s a little screeny:

It means I’m really awesome, right? Well, not really :] It just means I’ve played about 2000 games in total of solo and team games (assuming a 50% win rate). I really like this game~ I could have played a lot more than 2000 by now if it wasn’t for anxiety. For many people, this game is a stressful, exhausting, rage-worthy experience. We don’t like the idea of losing, or being “reclassified” to a lower league. Clicking on the “Find match” button can be pretty daunting and it’s something I was very hesitant about too. But that’s mostly in the past (I’m still a little scared XD). What I’ve tried to come in terms with over these months is that it doesn’t really matter. It’s just a game. You’ll win some, you’ll lose some. Just focus on getting better and you’ll improve over time.

For me, it’s nice to look at this number and think ‘Oh hey, I’ve played so many games myself! Oh chibi you’re so brave’ 8D
