Ok so the last two koreans I have played that have both asked me their rank have lied about theirs.
They say max rank, I say B-. One Said A- and I checked his profile later and he was B-. Other said he was A+ and that his aka was dara21 and that he was a korean gosu but I checked that account and it was OLYMPIC.
This game his first zeal killed 2 of my marines and he tried some kind of 1 gate expo robo and my FD still took him out.
Something tells me he is not dara21-_-
Combine this with the fact that a LOT of foreigners will lie about their rank or just straight up leave if you are anything better than C- means I am just going to fucking lie about my rank and say I am C- which is such a fucking lame thing to do.
WHY TEAMLIQUID, WHY?

to make u create blogs with their nicknames
so they can get famous
but atm
to lie about ur rank is a good mind game
|
Lying about your rank not only gives you security but also assurance that even if you lose you won't have to worry about having to get embarrassed by losing to someone who is badder than you. That's the biggest psychological factor.

you ladder?g

They always smurf alot as well.
So many high C, B players constantly resetting their stats to noob stomp.
|
For some reason they like to stomp noobs and then get delight from it any way possible by gloating or w/e.
Maybe in their way to reach top ranks in Iccup they've goten their asses served and now when they became any good they want to stomp noobs to retaliate.
|
They're obviously just joking around, they have no obligation to answer a random person's questions correctly so why not toy with them just for laughs. I mean it's not like you lose anything for pretending to be a higher rank than you are, but the other guy might be intimidated.
|
I've had people at D level rage at me (this is at start of season btw so everyone was on D) because I got C- last season and I play at D lol.

Whenever someone asks me a common, silly question I either lie one way or the other and say d- or A- or something just to see how they react

Stop lying about your CPU rank.
Typical Korean.

i had someone say i was stork just cuz i creamed them straight up pvt -.-
ppl really have to chill about rank, what if you just came from bnet and are really gosu anyways? or from china?

Well i just can speak for myself:
Im a B rank protoss and I lie when im starting laddering on D-C and people ask me.
I usually say +1 of my current rank.
Reason for this is the fact that 30% leave on D-C when they know im B......pisses me off.
|
I never leave when I am facing higher rank players. I ran into two B- players ZvZ at the D rank and got my shit stomped. I liked it because it showed me how good players would abuse the build I was doing.
|
Koreans lie because they dont want to scare you ^^
We all know that some ppl ask the rank and if they say good rank they leave so is probably that the main reason for the lies 
|
Most koreans I run into lower their rank, although its probably accurate in keeping with the general hours they play. Koreans who blatantly lie are just smurfing.
Also, I've run into 2 Koreans who thought "noob" meant pro. I joined a 1v1 python "noob" game and he turned out to be some gosu, and when I told him to piss of he genuinely thought it meant pro and gave me the free win lol.
For your theory maybe the korean just knows that a B- v other koreans is an A- v normal people?

Read OP. I am not talking about this. I am talking about them exagerrating their rank.
I understand people saying +1 rank of current, I do the same thing because people just leave.
Why say A- when you are B- ? Both are terrifying for newb player.... if you are B- say B- ffs. Or lie and say C- to not scare away newbs but why A-? What's the point? This is what I don't understand...
Nytefish what do you mean they are obviously just joking around? There are a shitload of a- players and I expect them to say they are a-, not Olympic.
I expect b- player to say b-, not a-. How is that obvious joke?
What if it's real A- and he says A- ? I am supposed to say YA LOLZ WHTS YOUR REAL RNK ROFL?
I played 3 games vs http://www.iccup.com/gamingprofile/sksmswodyd.html today.
He is real A-... I ask his rank and he says a rank... further discussion reveals 72-21 a- which is EXACTLY what he is, was really cool manner korean, is in movie's clan (movie is leader of clan on west, so he says, I trust him) we had good chat and games. Why can't it be like this always T_T
|
It's a retarted question to ask about some1's rank. Don't expect to get an honest answer. It's like some1 here said u have no obligation to answer such a question. It's like asking a random -player about he's race when the game starts just to get an advantage.
|
i think it's fairly obvious
|
I was playing against some Italian terran and he goes max rank? D+ then just spams lololololololololololo and proceeds to rape me with bbs
|
I mean it's an internet game played by youngsters. If some people find it fun to tease others into thinking they're better than they are then they will do it. There doesn't need to be a more complicated reason than that.

no
just the few times i actually did before its what happened
|
probably happens because when people ask about rank, it's just like... why the hell do you care.
For example I played some D+ zerg and beat him with 1 gate scout into expo.. and told him was A- when he asked lol. It just seems like the most pointless question. Why would you ever care about the rank of someone who beat you enough to ask them in game? The replay reveals all about their strat, and then its up to you to see what you could've done about it. Of course, if you win and you were playing far above your normal level in a very close and tense game, then that's another matter.

The reasoning is really very simple. I also feel it is appropriate to mention that I have an Olympic rank penis.
|
That's a really odd shape you've got there.

It's obvious that the Starcraft gene that makes Koreans so good at Starcraft is also responsible for the affinity to lying about Starcraft rank. The same gene may be a contributing factor in liking horrible music but I won't make any unfounded statements.
