Finally hit C-! First time ever lol.
22-9 (iCC).
I actually hit C- 2 games ago, but then I failed miserably on Longinus. Spawning at 11, I proceeded to reverse the positions of the gateway and forge for my block, as I saw the sly zerg preparing a speedling runby. A group of probertos valianty moved into position and awaited the swarm, but then... they ran through the gap between the cliff and the gateway 
Elementary mistakes: 1 Me: 0
And yes, I only play PvZ for those who do not know, for PvZ is the sexiest matchup there is (TvZ is a close second, thus the 1 offraced TvZ ;D).
Cheers for TSL creating a longer iCC season, and thus more time to go for C!

Congrats. And you did it with the hard MU.
|
But motw included Longinus this week, so I had some help ;D
|
welcome to the C- club 
|
I've been playing a lot of PvZ on longinus too, feels like a comfortable map for toss.

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

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.

You could always go the C# route too.

Even though many people consider pvz to be tough, you should try to get from D to C- again doing all three matchups for a true C- experience.

If he enjoys that matchup most, then why not stick with that.

Because he's considering reaching C- a victory. If he chooses to target ranks while only doing pvz then that's his prerogative, but I suggested he do it the 'true' way.

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.
|
Yeah, the paradox is that alltough playing one MU only is better for learning the game, C- is worth more if you play all mu.
|
Yea I know technically I should play all 3, but the other 2 matchups were never really any fun. My PvT is actually better than my PvZ ;x
|
so you just dont play people if they arent zerg?...
|
your first time hitting c- and you went 22-9? Did you get like good ratios at d+ then just stop or something?

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.

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...

What? Do you guys like eating raw meat or something?

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.

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 >.>

Congrats... 22-9 is a great record... here's to hoping you hit C
|
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:
|
Wow holy shit Nytefish, I knew Longinus was good, but damnnnn low C -> B- wow, just wow. Are you sure you're not playing a lot better ^^
