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.


I'm having trouble believing this ... link to account that shows B rank in past season??

B- with 85% win ratio?? thats like 55-12...........


http://www.iccup.com/gamingprofile/KawaiiRice.html
These things actually exist yo


that doesn't show much.... 1 season? no stats in other seasons? B- not B?

the other guy is claiming a lot more than "one time I got to B- late in the season with a good ratio"

ranks obviously lost their weight... unless you are kor. being a B+ foreigner means absolutely shit now. This season is kind of different though, alot harder it seems... but it is the actual first season where I played from the start.

I think getting to B+ would be pretty impressive as a foreigner

Not really anymore, getting to A- and keeping it is impressive. The majority of "top" foreigners, that include people like Gamtja, who are terribad, can get B+.

But, getting B+ in korean hours IS impressive as a foreigner.

i dunno I find it hard to say that top foreigners are terribad... maybe compared to koreans yes.. but still being better than everyone outside of korea is not bad

Here's an idea: instead of judging how good people are by their rank and the rank of other people that they beat to get there, perhaps try looking at how good their play is. Do they micro well in most situations? Are their build orders tight and fully optimized? Do they do things that make no sense whatsoever like taking another expo while they're being pushed? Foreigner rank and rec gives very little information about how good they actually are. It seems like White-Ra and this guy http://www.iccup.com/gamingprofile/eNjoyMacroing.html and everything in between can get about the same rank and stats.
