Your not really much of a c- if you only play one mu, honestly. I could probably reach c- with only zvt, because I play that 60% of the time and im fantastic at it. But that would be inflated, cause im really a d+ with massive flaws in my play, I just know how to cover it better in zvt.

Anyways, congrats, but seriously you should play the other mu's. You dont know what your missing.

I dont see why it matters to so many people. Like playing all of a races MU makes you better? Its a game, its about having FUN (gasp, what the fuck is that amirite?). If you dont enjoy an MU, dont play it. it isnt fucking supposed to be your JOB.

I don't have a problem with it... except he's bragging about how he reached C-. At least he owned up to the fact that it was one matchup only.

Now if only getting from there to B were as easy as learning C and then C++ eh?

I've been playing a lot of PvZ on longinus too, feels like a comfortable map for toss.


Yea, that map feels really "safe". I don't ever feel like zerg is getting out of hand unless they go crazy hydra, which I'm just not good against in general. Of course, there are the mis micros and macros and failed timings that go with the rank, but really it's not as annoying as say, blue storm.


lol? I took a semester of programming in Java (which is comparable to C/C++ I think?) and getting B on iccup seemed much easier than doing that stuff...

btw if you got to C- with a record that good then you probably have a decent chance at hitting C and higher assuming you didn't carefully select nub opponents or anything.

I create games called "1v1 (rank) you Z"

your first time hitting c- and you went 22-9? Did you get like good ratios at d+ then just stop or something?


Well I'd usually get to 2800-2900 with 70% win then suddenly suck a huge one and drop down to D- (not kidding, happened on my other account earlier in the season).

More of relief than bragging really, somehow I kept fucking myself over every other time I was a win away from C- as I mentioned above >.>

Abusing PvZ on longinus has got me to B-! (Also 10/15 gate against terrans)
My high rank last season was low C so this map really makes quite a difference.

In fact I even mucked around with dark archon:
