Has finaly come to an end and the quest for C- has begun! Ive been following Proffesional stracraft for about 3 years now, but never really played very seriously, i doubt that ive played more than 300 games in that hole period even though i have been playing on ICCup for all that time.

I always wanted to get a little up in the rankings but never really thought it would happen, due to me sucking beyond belive! But today it finally did! Watch in awe!

http://www.iccup.com/profile/view/Mosquito.html

This would never have happened if it wasent for TL and or pro starcraft all in all. I love the community surrounding Esports and its the only thing that made me accomplish this small personal goal that im really happy about =)

So thank you all! Ill be trying hard to get to C now that i know what i can do :D

/joy rant off

good job man! it always feels good to reach a new milestone. of course, the test of your character is whether you rest on your c- laurels or keep playing. (last season I stopped at 3001 points personally.)

I got my first D+ a few months ago. It sure does feel good to finally achieve something after a large period of time.

Congratulations! It always feel awesome to reach a new rank. EVERY rank feels like a big milestone for me at least. I have played for one and a half year and it feels like it gets harder every season.

Thanks everyone! It really feels great since ive been trying for it for so long. There is so much to learn once you start playing an RTS competetivly but it sure feels great once your labor starts bearing fruit!

Oof, a 4 game streak later, you're back to D

It probably won't feel quite as good getting back to D+ for a second time, but I hope next time you get there, you can stabilize at that rank

Good luck on your journey

Keep going at it man. I have the same thing except I can't force myself to pass the C+ rank for the life of me even though I'm sure I could.

not trying to discourage you or anything btw, it's just that for some reason i started to get scared of playing games at high D+ and barely C- for fear of dropping down lol (well, I made it to C- at least thrice with points like 3001, etc, but never bothered playing another game because i liked being in the C ladder and didn't want to drop down to D+, so i don't consider myself a C- because i just had to play D+ players to get there in the first place...)

edit: so don't do what i did and you'll be C+ in no time XD
edit2: you can ask zoler, that dude made it to B- in like 2 years or so
