Silver, At Long Last
I know, I know... Silver isn't exactly a dream destination for most League players. But you see, I started in Bronze IV. I worked my way into Bronze II, where I hung out for a while and practiced until I broke into Bronze I.... where I've been for the past year. I wish I was exaggerating when I say it took me 7, count it out S-E-V-E-N, promo series to finally win out of the tier. So as of half an hour prior to writing this, I am officially out of Bronze for Season 4, and I could not be happier. Silver isn't much, but it means I am progressing. That means enough to me for now.
For those of you who feel stuck, keep at it. Keep reading tips, keep finding new ways to improve your game, keep looking for opportunities in your matches to pull out a victory, and never give up. As long as you improve your own game and maintain a team player's attitude, you will see results. Like me, it may take a year to pull all of your work together, or maybe not. Either way, have fun! Find the good things to take away from losses and always own your results.
Good luck guys, and good bye, Bronze!
