I got SC2 back in 02/04/12 and so far I have been loving it. I had about 7 games left in practice league and finally decided to skip the remaining games. I figured I mind as well get use to the faster game speed than getting too use to the fast speed. I was quite surprised that I got placed in the platinum league after my 5 placement matches (probably b/c of beginner’s luck). I am pretty happy and excited to be placed in platinum….but I think this joy will be short lived as I will most likely get whooped in the future xD I will just enjoy this for the time being.
