2v2 Platinum League

by Waldo May 9, 2010

After going 5-0 in my placement matches I found myself right in the middle of the Platinum division. I was a little surprised, especially since I was silver in the pre-gamestop era of the beta. I’ve hovered in the 30′s range in the group. Hoping to break into the 20′s but there has been a [...]

Resource Collection Rate Graph

by Waldo April 24, 2010

SC2 Forum QOTD

by Waldo April 20, 2010

A priceless quote from Blopp.bloppski: lol to that. Who wants to be the 53rd best champion, and isn’t a retard? It stemmed from a post by Massdriver.lhc in which he vented a bit about the current ladder system.
