Hey guys on TeamLiquid(.net). This season is crunch time. I've got to start making stuff happen. Why am I making this blog? So I can share my journey with the rest of you guys. I'll periodically upload epic replays o' mine, and let you know my record/rank.

Let me say I've never been in the yellows: My icon has burned fiery red for too long. Last season I was SOO close to C-... I gained 400 points in about 4 hours the last day of the season (even with 2 disconnects and a blue screen, I get that A LOT). I've given myself honarary C- and this season i'm taking it officially. But I strive for much more... I strive to become a f33red k0r34n z3rg on iCCup.

So what's my goal? B-. Thats right. I want the calming blue aura of 6000+ points, the feel of being in the B-A ladder channel. I want to be able to go through D-C with maybe 10 losses at C/C+. I'm going to be better than 70% of the iCCupers out there.

I realize that this goal is very far fetched. I could say, "hi all , im just have to say that im leaving sweden for korea very soon to find ToSsgirl! wich me gl!", and that would probably be easier to do. Making hood raps like KeKeKeMiNeMs, "That's my nexus hoe!" pale in comparison to jumping 4000 points on the godly iCCup ladder :O

So where am i now? I'm sitting on 880 points, with a 2-7 record. After a week without iCCup, I'm so out of the groove, but I'm going to get back. And I'm going to get better. and I thank anyone who rates this blog higher than 1. You know, in the end, it's your choice to read it

but really, has anyone REALLY been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Gogo. I'm planning to mass fucking games this season because of Rutgers CSL+. I am going to have at least 100 games this season, which is like twice as much as I've ever had in a single season.

RACE GOGO

It's good to set goals for yourself, especially early in the season when EVERYONE who is not gosu will be behind relative to if they played mid season, but this is how we improve! This is how we get better! Suffer through the hardships, don't clear stats! Make up your losses! Stay motivated, even if you are down 5-20, keep pushing! Don't stop playing, okay? Let's make this pact and both play unless something huge comes up. There is no losing faith, no rage, just mass game and improvement.
Peace~

Duuuude, your not C- if you haven't reached it, and your not C- if you can't stay on it! You should think of it this way!

If you get B- but loose it after a few games against B- players, you've reached B- but your not a B- player. Your just a very good C+ player. ;o

That being said, good luck! If you put enough effort, it's possible! Oh and it's start of the new season, and even though the insane koreans are most of the insane foreigners are out in the higher ranks, chances are high that you bump into even B- people at the D-D+ ranks, so if you get totally destroyed, don't be disengouraged!

true. But if you get the rank, doesn't that make you a B- player at that time? Your obviously better than the C+es for a little while. Thanks for your encouragement, I appreciate your support XD!

D- players don't realize how big that gap is to B... anyway good luck! I wish you could do it so you could set an example for everyone else, but I honestly believe this is impossible without having lots of connections.
Impressive, for an idiot or a lunatic.
