Today, I tried a little experiment. I started off with like 700 points on iccup... and I was pretty pissed at how shitty I played to get to that point. I was so pissed in fact, that I just started throwing games away. Ironically, I won 1 cuz the guy said "lag" and quit 2 mins in, and another guy by the same token randomly left. I'm so bad that my points went UP when I TRIED to lose. Obviously, I wasn't trying hard enough.

today is opposite day. you'll do better tomorrow.

Wow, you failed a failing? Damn...
Keep it up! ^_^

heh, somedays you just can't succeed at anything. Those are the days I usually just relax and watch The Office for a while.

wanna practise with me ?????????// im D zerg // Australia ...

If you are Z, add me on ICCUP. My PvP and PvT are almost D+ but my PvZ is so horribly fail, D- level really. We can play some friendlies
ICCUP: OOOMM

I was trying to lose games on purpose to get that nice shiney D- rank. I lifted off my CC, killed all my SCVs and hid it in the corner just to confuse my opponent. I came back 30 minutes later and found the game was still going. I quit and checked the replay, turns out he didn't even leave his main for the entire game or build additional SCVs and was slowly massing battlecruisers from one starport.

This actually caused me to burst out laughing.

that's the new "bc rush" that adheres to scv labor laws.

Just rage incoherently about how terrible your opponent is and how they win by doing stupid shit, then leave.
Ideally, do this after stealing your opponent's gas.

Yeah I tried much harder. Another guy d/c'd when I drone rushed him ( he was T ). Another guy, again, left before I could do anything thinking I'd proxied. But those setbacks aside... After about 2.5 hours I finally got to D- rank of 1 
I feel so accomplished.

Well, congrats at being the lowest ranked player on ICCUP.
You got something done there. Although a few wins on your record might tarnish that. You need to next get to 1 without a single win.

u are doin it wrong
u have to put some effort in ur things if u want to be a better player

"Oh shit my scvs are on strike!!"

Try to rush with your 1st 4 workers. There's a high chance of you losing.

I did a similar thing a long time ago; I played a game (D- level) on Medusa where I lifted my CC to my mineral only and then proceeded to play as normal. My opponent (Zerg) never scouted until he attacked (maybe 10 minutes into the game) so I don't think he even realized the stupid shit I had been up to. XD

Watch a standard pro replay for each MU you want to learn, and watch it like 5 times in the early game to get a build order down. When you've learned that build order/timing, use it, and you will win every game at D-/D.

When people get into D+ is when I think the average player starts getting more attuned to more detailed things like counter-BOs and the mechanics increase greatly. Although, of course this is all due to personal interpretation, I've undoubtedly met D level players that were good and D level players that were abysmal.

The level is sort of varying, yes, hence the statement ''you will win every game at D-/D'' isn't really accurate. I definitely agree that simply using a standard BO will beat D- players 99 games out of 100, but there are plenty of D players who uses proper BO's as well, so it takes a little more effort to make it up to D+.

lol yeah, sometimes when you just play ridiculous strategies and play contour to logic, you find yourself lucking wins. It feels good, but doesn't make you better. I mean, if you only won because you did something "wrong" thats ok on occasion, because maybe you guessed your opponent was bluffing, or whatever. But generally speaking as you get higher playing "wrong" will get you smashed, and he wont be blatantly bluffing, so wrong is just wrong.
Anyways, its happened to me before. Playing standard and smart is harder at the d ranks than just cheesing or doing whatever you please.

But as P it's easy to horror-gate/proxy-gate your way to >D+ against p and z respectively... Terran takes some skill, but that's a matchup I'm somewhat ok at 
Anyway, I played a realllllllly stupid game with a reallllllllly stupid strategy intended more for lols than for winning. Then my opponent epic-failed a response. I then sat around letting him get back into the game to make it interesting.... Sadly... he didn't bother to sunken up or do anything to his "hidden" expo and gg'd before I could go on another suicidal spree.
