Okay, so to answer your question. I'm normally a C+/B- (^.^) protoss player, however i like playing Z and T as well. Also i like practising new strategies with protoss.
This i like to do without losing my "normal" rank. So i play a few accounts to C- or so. Again i don't particularly enjoy playing D or D+ games so the fastest way to get to C-ish is to cheese. Then at some point i get so good at whatever strategy i am practising that my 'smurf' hits C+, B- or whatever. Then to practise a new strategy i make a new account. I would love it if i could create an account at an arbitrary rank but sadly this is not possible.
Point is, i don't smurf to hurt anyones feelings.
And hey, i don't like losing either.

I think the argument that higher ranked people cheese to get through games faster isn't always accurate. I don't cheese at all at D rank and my average game length is like 6-7 minutes until the C ranks.

Getting cheesed in some way or another happens probably like 4/10 games around D at least vs protoss, but I have yet to play smurfing b-rankers on my 50ish games on ICC.
I know how it's extremely frustrating to get inbase proxied repeatedly, but you are going to get flamed when you exaggerate to the extent you are doing now. Just learn to scout in time and how to counter whatever cheese is thrown at you.

I'll do it if I find out his iccup name. I believe his name is Mekhami. Somebody found out his name on page 2 or something, and I checked Gretorp's livestream thread he identified himself as Mekhami. Also - he hasn't played a single Korean since like september 19. And even they were D+ with <50% stats. lol. LOL
You're so clever finding my protoss account. SO CLEVER.

Due to the completely unproductive nature of this (open lol) thread, I'm gonna have to call pseudo-strat rant shenanigans v2, where v1 was an orchestrated rant about how Z>>>>P or something like that.

Btw. Speaking of stats - does anyone play 2v2? It's damn impossible to find a partner for 2v2 even when you got nice stats (like d+ 12-0) and when you finally find one, it occurs that the "10-2 guy" cant win vs D+... so your record gets shitty and you cant find an ally to play on C- level, which means that your allie is some random noob going 8pylon,9pylon,10pylon,11pylon... maybe YOU shouldnt be so picky about allys? I play only open 2v2 because i got pissed by this gay ally searching in the channel and then be shouted at by D+ players telling me how big of a noob i am only to see them stuck at D+/C-, playing open games with random allies is way more convinient and you get to playmuch faster. Its just very hard to find games >C+ without a fix ally and that sucks hard.
D+/C- open game players do not deserve their ranks IMO.
I can go 10-0 vs D+ "open" players. It's not because I am that good (my max is C), but because they play so sad. Seriously any rank up to C- seems to be pretty random.
Usually when I go pubs I end up with a protoss ally (I am zerg), I ask him to cannon me - and that 3200pts C- guy says that he never heard of this build and that I am a noob. Then he proceedes to go 2gate zealots vs anything and gets outmicroed by goons/owned by mnm.
I do not claim I am any good, but playing with pubs without any strats leads to noowhere, because they have no damn clue about the game.
Like today I play a game some idiot comes and says that he is B- and that we should both go 7 or 9 pool vs T+Z team. I tell him that the zerg will go 12pool->2sunkens and we can do jack shit and just wait for the terran to kill us. He claims that he knows better. We lose, just I've described. (I often win in the opposite way, which to be honest, is pretty sad, because a good team will do a completely different strat...).

i felt the same way you did. I even made a similar blog about it
but all the people telling you you're horrible at starcraft and that you need to stfu and learn how to play are right. if you lose to a cheese, dont get pissed. watch the replay and figure out how not to fuck up next time
change your mindset. people aren't gonna hand you wins, you have to earn them. you're not going to improve or have any fun playing starcraft if you're the way you are right now. i used to rage really bad. i still do, but i take breaks between games to calm down, watch the replay, and maybe practice 1 game vs comp. i just hit my highest iccup rank ever a couple days ago. you're just a few positive habits away from it too Did you not read the thread? The guy claims that 3/4 of the players he's facing is B+ (hint: they're C-). He has a skewed idea of what this game is about (hint: it's winning). It's fine if he wants to work on his basics but it's ridiculous to try to expect the average iccup user to never cheese. I bet a lot of those cheeses weren't even cheese builds. I can go 8 rax, wall-in and do a non-committed bunker rush while expanding and if Z is terrible, he will lose to it but he probably thinks that I'm some cheesefag who never plays standard.
erm..what? did you not read my post? I'm addressing the reason he made this post, not what hes posting about. the problem here is his mindset. he's blaming everything but himself for his lack of success. you just told me he isn't thinking about the game right and my post was all about how i went from a similar situation as his to one where i am winning because i changed my view and habits with the game.
confusing >.>
