Dear Chibi,

Today I got promoted to the Silver League in SC2 Battlenet, yay!

Just a little progress update from my first Starcraft2 Placement match :)
Current 1v1 stat: 33 Wins/26 Losses

Dear Chibi,

Since getting Starcraft 2, I’ve been playing plenty of it every night. Jacky bought me a really really awesome gaming headset- just look at this monster =D I love it so much ^^ I will make good use of this :)

I haven’t entered the league yet though, as I’m really inexperienced playing against humans. I usually play against computer AI, where they behave in a somewhat predictable manner. Humans are devious though, you really don’t know what they’ve got planned up their sleeve. Nevertheless, I do intend to finish my placement matches one day and get into it.

To be placed on the ladders, we first have to complete 5 placement matches. Depending on the wins and loss, they’ll rank you according to your skill level with other players. The 5 levels are: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Burpy is currently in Platinum,  Marcus in Silver, Mark and I unranked.  So far I’ve played 2 matches, both against players who were from the silver league. I lost my first one against a Terran last week, which left me feeling a bit depressed since I didn’t think I’d lose the first game. So I waited for a week to recover and finally played my second match this morning. This time it was against a Zerg player, and thankfully I made my first win! It was a very very very close game. I was so nervous and scared because I had made some terrible choices which left me pretty vulnerable in the end. My entire base was wiped out, while I was wiping out the opponents. Luckily I had one SCV escape so I ran and built a supply depot on the other side of the world. Because of that one structure, I survived longer.

What have I learnt? These games are tough regardless what others say. Hopefully one day I’ll not worry so much about losses and concentrate on the wins. There’s some cute portraits I want to get, and the only way to achieve them is by winning!

I am looking forward to entering the league in some team games too :)

This will look prettier one day!

Dear Chibi,

Oh look, my Starcraft 2 game arrived today! yaaaay :D

I’ve been playing Starcraft 2 multiplayer over the past 4 weeks, using various guest keys from Mark & Burpy to try it out. I didn’t buy it when it was first released since I hadn’t decided if I’d like it enough to buy. I’ve never bought a game before so it’s all a little new to me (spending my cash on games feels out-of-character :p) I think it was a pretty good decision since I managed to get it for a pretty good price (bought it online from JB).

As soon as I received the freebie guest pass, I jumped straight into Terran multiplayer and confused myself. Where’s my medics? Why does everything require vespene gas to build? ahah.. I mistook the ‘time’ icon as a ‘gas’ icon so I was sitting around waiting to build a refinery before I can build a supply depot. Luckily, after a few games, it all came back to me :D

Starcraft 2 lagged a lot when I first played because my computer couldn’t handle it. So I had Jacky reformat my computer one weekend and saw that it was working much better! However, my computer was still not up to scratch so he ended up giving me his whole computer xD To enhance the co-op game play, I asked him to get me a headset which I was told should be arriving soon too. yaaaay….all just to feed my Starcraft addiction ;D I feel spoiled
