Good work. I've been trying to battle my way to 1300. I get close and then get knocked back down to 1250. Currently on a slow upward curve again. I know I should be bolder in the quality of the person I play but I get disheartened playing people 1350+
I have just finally ground my way to an ELO if over 1000 (starting from 562*). It's taken me 541 games with a 50% win rate, 45 % loss rate.
Obviously, I lost my next game and am now down to 998. Shucks.
** I have no idea why it was so low when I joined up.
