With it's approach, I think that a thread like that is an order.

Personally I want to get demoted from master league to diamond, since in the upcomming 12-16 months I will have no time to play seriously, rather just for the lulz. (The reason for that is that I have some trips until the end of summer and after that is starting my last year of school, I have exams from december 2011 to june 2012)

What do I get when being in diamond ? Some good players, some weak players, over all place to chill, farm out the 500 win icon I want so, so bad (just as a ref I don't have the 250 win version so far xD) Lay low, maybe be in top 8 (which is literally impossible to do while I am in master since people in top 8 usually meet GM players often, monsters like Morrow are master top 5, yeah, exactly, morrow isn't 1st in his division).

So to cut a long story short, with the beginning of the 3rd season I will get a casual approach to starcraft 2, stop compeating in tournaments, most likely remain teamless and just play for the shit and lulz... play more customs, map, make tutorials, keep a closer eye on the players I like...

What about you ?

I usually only play custom games (but standard maps) instead of ladder games. Dunno why, i just like it this way.
but recently i started to play 2 vs 2 ladder games because its hard to find a good 2 vs 2 custom game on BNet. I want to train a little bit for the tournament.
Maybe i will keep playing 2 vs 2? I dont know, i dont like 1 vs 1. I believe 2 vs 2 is way more interesting and funny.

I will actually play melee.
I will have to resign my title as the world's semi-possible greatest rank 72 diamond in the world.

Get into plat for 1s, but as of right now its matching me up with silvers (oh noes) so the goal is probably 'stay in gold league'
also, improve my micro and move away as mutas being my main force. (you can ask vine about my awesome micro and syn about my awesome mutas trololol)

My goal is to get into Masters. But I hardly ever melee anymore so that's unlikely.

I am hoping to reach diamond in one of the team divisions.

I personally find team games more interesting than solo, as long as everyone is pulling their own weight.

If you want we can become diamond in 2v2 literally now :D We just need a 5-0 score, which is acheavable : )


On a more serious note: Add me, we can play team games, I want to farm an icon anyways ^_^

Team is more fun since you get to talk to people, but solo is more intense.

If I were you I'd make sure my win ratio is going well. A guy I know is continously rank 1 in his division (Diamond) he is top 20 in eu (in the diamond only ladder that is) and he has been in diamond for the entire season, on the top, but diamond.

The dude plays a lot of games, which is something I respect, so his win ratio is prolly arround 55ish %
I am not sure how the system works, when I got promoted I was rank 40ish in diamond, given the number of your ladder games and a decent position though I think you have a good chance, just don't go on a loosing streak now : P


Anyway good luck to everyone with acheaving their goals !

Your current rank has nothing to do with promotion/demotion.
I was like rank 60 when I got promoted into master.

Win/loss ratio is more important. Win a lot (66% upwards) and you'll get promoted quickly.

PS:
My goal is to stay where I am right now.
I won't have the time/patience to get into Grandmaster (I believe I could do it with sufficient playing) so I'll just sit somewhere in master and be happy about my 2:1 win rate.

Hmm, that is strange. Oh well, even though I can't actually view my win/lose ratio because of Blizzard, I don't know the exact value. Although recently I've been winning most of my games. Like 8 out of 10 or so I'd guess. Only just recently though.
You could definitely get into Grandmaster if you wanted to; you're really good now, if you practiced more you could definitely be at the level some of my GM friends are. You're also the only person I practice with that consistently beats me ^__^

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
