Ive always cheesed my way up the ladder 9pooling D protoss and zergs. i never once laddered completely as 1 race. never. i always offrace because i have no confidence in myself. just recently, i got confidence after seeing how bad Ds are after cheesing so many of them..

Saturaday was such a goooood day. i was 4-0 on saturday. funny. the terrans ragequit while the zerg ggs. Yesterday, i was 1-1. I didnt lose that badly to a Japanese player and i got a win because a zerg left when i found his third..... today was so horrible i felt like crying. my 5-1 record became 5-7 and i lost to so many shit i was TRAINED to stop. I was ling allined, had a game where the terran threw away all his scvs for a proxy bunker rush... and i lost to D-s and i kept disconnecting when i wanted to play PvZ afterwards. I also only played on my best maps..... HBR and Destination. now its korean times and i cant melee anymore for today or else my 5-7 will get worse and ill be stuck in E rank. tomorrow is a new day. i wonder what gamescheese ill play against tomorrow!

if it makes you feel better i was 3-12 after the first day. i dont guess 31-41 is much better but with persistance you will eventually hit d+ or whatever your high was

"i got confidence after seeing how bad D's are".... you're D. You dodge koreans, you lose to stupid cheese, you only play two maps, you care way to much about your stats, you d/c and you start by bragging about how you always used to cheese and end by complaining that there's so many cheesers. Is this that trolling thing?

You should try not give a shit about your stats or rank. If you can't do that, then just make another account where you don't care if it's korean time, or if it's a bad day or you're tired. You can then warm up on that account and if you feel like you're playing well go onto your "main" one.

At the moment you're only playing a few games a day, hell it usually takes me that many games just to warm up and play at my normal level.

And by d/c I think he means when iccup server was going funny.

9pool is an incredibly standard opening, vs both Terran and Protoss, you'd be an idiot to say it was cheese.

You're pretty down on D's though for caring about a 5-7 record while dodging Koreans... I'd reevaluate your criticism of others and how seriously you take the ladder.

You 9 pool zergs? damn that's cheesy. Unless you're trolling you need to realise you're a d/d- and not worry so much about losing to fellow noobs.

If you feel like crying being of losses you need to realize that you suck.

And you will keep sucking.

Until you get better.

But until then you suck.

you guys do know 9pool is like the ultimate noob killer right?
im annoyed that i lost games i could have won. i scouted the 3hat speedling ( i think it was 2 fml) and i scouted the empty terran base and the rax lifting into my main.
im also annoyed by the fact that if i went 0-6 after going 5-1. i dont care about the record. i care about not being able to win a single game after a winstreak

edit: i think the point of ladder for many is to oh idk go up in the rankings?

9pool isn't standard vs Terran.

It's time to practice non-cheese builds. Cheese won't work on everyone as your try to accend, and your skills of more 'standard" games will continue to diminish. You'll be trapped forever unless you change things up some, steer towards standard and make cheese 1/5 or less of your games.

lol, dont care about rank but care about not winning? I know winning is a good feeling, but to get better you have to lose, if you're losing a bunch in a row that's usually a good thing as it means you're playing people who are either better than you, or are playing better than you in those particular games and some combination of both.

I think the point of laddering for many is not to go up in ranks but to be able to play against people of similar skill levels in a generally hack free environment that is moderated.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
