I refuse to believe a B+ can get 23-11. Must have had his friend play on his acc several times...

Edit: Of course, if it's Combat-EX I'd believe anything from 25-0 vs D's to 70-100

didn't realize you checked their games also.. alright then the only thing that I disagree with is that LostChild and Galford should both be considered C+ or players (especially galford)

ur prolly right about lostchild

galford is 3-3 this season vs C- when u played him, previous season B+? that strongly suggests someone played on his account. even if it was him, hes clearly nowhere near B+ shape now, going 50% winrate vs C- players :p

even assuming galford is C (he's C- now) amended record for u looks like:
6-0 vs D-
4-0 vs D
8-0 vs D+
16-7 vs C-
2-2 vs C
1-2 vs C+

u still belong at highest, C rank

nothing 2 be ashamed of there, C is a great rank. i never got to C, 90% of ppl don't get as high as C-.

you also have to take into consideration that you would have to check the records of every player HE lost to in order to see the quality of C- players that beat him, and then check the stats of the ones that beat them, etc.

it's very mathematical and precise quite impressive O_O

yeh I agree I think maybe someone played on his account also, I played really sloppy in that PvP don't think he is a B player either

That's really good work and a good point how you can show that people with "flashy" records don't really belong at certain ranks, they just beat up on lower competition to get there..

I also agree that the one dude I played who was like 195-195 was definitely one of the best players I've played, even though records should say otherwise...

really really sick analysis I can't wait till tomorrow so I can try to play more C players

no?

galford's 11 losses:

1. C (41-10, Saddles, you!)
2. C- (101-135), barely C- 3043
3. C- (89-119)
4. C- (19-2) probably C
5. C- (38-37)
6. C (29-9) possibly C+
7. C (35-26) between C-/C
8. C (51-37)
9. C- (no rec, but seems better than C-, probably C)
10. D (13-13) probably D+
11. C- (61-62)


he's not B+, not even close. he's probably C-, C at best

word, play more ppl who r actually C and see what record u get. i give u respekt, this is how a man plays brood wars.

all these dumb blogs where ppl post oh i got 2 B- or oh im B+ player, 99% of those guys r not actually that rank. they just like pretty stats. i wish ICC would just erase all ur stats once u reach a new rank, then u'd really see true ranks.

I think since a lot of ppl might read your analysis you should amend my record on the front page vs C+ players to 1-2 =)

wow for sure I'm definitely going off feel of the game from now on instead of just worrying about records...

I thought that natedrive guy was the best I've played and I think he definitely is,

his next 5 games after I won vs him he has gone 5-0 and slaughtered a few ppl in mere minutes

I'm very glad that I played a long , legitimate macro game vs him..... gives me some hope that i can still play "normal" style instead of just winning with cheese/ all-in or rush etc

hmm you're masturbating to match list far too early, reminds me of myself when I could never break the C+ barrier. I'd speculate about how many B-/B rank players I beat to get to C+ and suggested I was good enough to get those ranks.

Then some months later I mass gamed and realised I really couldn't break the C+ barrier, then finally after having stopped analysing my match list and just played the damned game I ended up getting to B- with an 85% win ratio and I could repeat this time and time again eventually getting B with a decent ratio.
