Rage Queuing

Yesterday, I've queued into 19 games in a row. That I lose to extremely ridiculous things is the only reason I hit the queue button so quickly. Losses are mostly due to seeing 1 base play and not not being as defensive as I should be as I expand. DT rush/drop, reaver drop, hidden gateways, wraiths, 2 factory.  Even a zerg going hydras catches me off guard every now and then. Definitely feels I could do better against such things. DT drops are especially annoying because turrets seem so easy destroy or avoid. Scans don't last. It's easier to queue up when you KNOW you lost due to ignorance.
Worst of all is being unable to even scout out whether the opponent has expanded. It feels like such a shame to send two scvs to figure it out.

Nonetheless, Brood War is now the easiest it's ever been to play. Custom hotkeys and the keyboard input fix make the game much more approachable. Opponents are mostly around the same skill level. The maps on the other hand... whew a few are pretty bizarre

WTF is this craziness

I can poke into B rank every now and then, but the requirement into being a steady B rank will require more experience. This new season will be a beauty.
