Well, there I was on iCCup, minding my own business, when I think to myself: Why not ladder? It's a beautiful day, and I have nothing else to do.
So off I go, to the charted waters of 'join game'. I see a game by the name of something along the lines of "D HBR 1v1". I joined, and I see the name "star.eveday". I think nothing of it, and continue to pick my race. I go Z, he goes T. ZvT is definately, without a doubt, my worst MU.
So the game starts. I get my usual 9 drones, then spawning pool. Ah, the good old 9pool. Always helpful. Anyhow, my first 6 lings arrive at his base and see... a command center? My goodness! I proceed to kill the scv and move into his main. I see an unfinished supply depot and gleefully attack it with my force of eight to ten zerglings.
Needless to say, I take the game with ease. All I can say is BO win!

Hahahaha Fluff <3
D > B- easy!

I really don't understand why he felt the need to 14cc against someone 5 ranks lower than him X_X

After the Flash vs Jaedong game I played four Ts in a row who 14ccd. Needless to say I won every one of them because I always 9 pool. So he was probably just trying to copy flash.

I really don't understand why would a B- terran not go 8-9 scout to block nat with ebay or something (2 player map) and eventualy scout the 9 pool.
|
b- is still kinda shit  At least I think I am.
edit: no I'm not the one in this rep xD
|
Hey! Dont say that! It's still an amazing achievement for me! :3
|
At least Flash does it safe, with scouting.
|
yeaa good old BO win, this is similar to how I beat nazgul once, lulz

He certainly doesnt always scout
(he did twice in the msl finals though)
Seems stupid to me to do that in ladder though, esp. against a much lower skilled player.

Agreed, i remember being D+ and playing b- and thinking "shit no wonder i lost!", once u get to B- you realize you still have a LONG way to go before being remotely good 
|
T's 14cc all the time on HBR, but I don't understand why, i thought Z is supposed to go pool first on maps where their choke can get blocked for an easier bunker rush?
|
Choke can't be completely blocked and 9 pools can be stopped with proper placement of the wall on the nat. I didn't watch the rep but I'm guessing that the guy lost because he was silly and didn't think he would be facing a 9 pool.
|
i fucking hate 9 pools, havent faced a zerg online that didnt open speedlings
|
Everyone who is saying B- is shit, fluffy plays in korean time zone.
NICE JOB MATE
|
Good job Although it wasnt a straight up win. I mean I could probably beat a progamer once in a while with a 4 pool.
|
Yeah, once you get B- you'll realize you're still scared of losing bullshit games to low level players.
It never changes.
|
Fuck yea dude! D reprizent up in this bitch! :D
|
What I didn't get is why a B- named his game as "D HBR" ? And why the OP didn't notice or react to the stats that automatically get displayed on joining the lobby? And if he didn't notice it as the game starts, then how did he notice it later on? And also, Quantim Mechanics as a whole.

It's beginning season, I've already met plenty (if not all) past at least B- players at D. I usually have no idea how good the player is until I play them (or look them up on iccup.com page after the game), and generally I assume he's at least as good as me when I ladder. I'm B+/A- Terran btw. I'm also assuming that this game was played in beginning season.

He wanted to try out 14cc on a noob so he could test the viability of 14cc? OP might have been doing something else and might not be looking at the screen where the stats show, assuming that its definetely a D game. Err maybe he checked the stats of that guy? i dunno lols

People who are saying B- is shit, I dont mean to be rude but do you realize how crushing that is to players like myself who barely reach D+/C- and think hell yeah! and suddenly theres these 300 apm B- gosus saying 'oh yeah im fuckin terrible'
thats like a member of the track team going in front of a cripple and saying 'fuck these legs of mine, fuckin useless stumps, i suck at running'

Agreed. However, TheAntZ you should just realize that most of these people who say crap like that usually just want attention ^^.

Because players who are D+/C- aren't capable of becoming B- players? Your analogy fails horribly. Cripples can't get better at running, D+ players can get better at BW.
And yes, B- isn't that good. The gap between B- and competitive foreigners is probably 10x greater than the get between D+ and B-. You can go from D+ to B- in a few months if you play a lot, good luck doing the same with B- to A+.

i'm pretty sure he just means the account was B- in previous seasons. remember its still early in the season, so no one's back at their true rankings yet. i swear i will be before beta 2nd phase though >=[

rofl what the fuck. Do you play starcraft 10 hours in a row every day of the week? B- is a ridiculous amount of skill especially for those of us who don't have time to memorize builds up to like 60 food and play for hours upon hours a day.
Hey, you know who's really really buff? Ronnie coleman. That means all amateur bodybuilders are weak as shit right? I'm obviously stronger

Or maybe because the ladder reset two days ago...

Listen to poke. He speaks from minutes and minutes of experience at B-.

jeez, calm down everyone, everything's relative
there's still hundreds of mistakes that B- players do, us D+/C- players do a few hundred more
even flash says he's still lacking skills
Getting to D+ or C- for the first time is still a nice accomplishment despite of that.

B- is better than average but still gets rolled by gosus. Honestly it sucks because I spend so much time practicing and feel nowhere near the top.

Can't you make a ling thight wall at the nat on HBR?

Tetra as in saracen?
I could never beat him. I beat his PvZ when I was a low D level player, but he had just started playing PvZ..so it wasn't a big deal . Although ZvZ is probably the matchup in which it is easiest to beat someone of higher rank.

haha, build order win indeed.
My highest win was against a C, hopefully ill beat a B- sometime lol

fuck
iccup is so hard right now T_T damn koreans T_T i went 1-6 today faaaaaaack
played a A though so it's all good! ^^
|
Wow. I didnt expect this to get so much traffic. Thanks everybody for giving me a laugh!
|
stupid ... lings are so easy micro at beginning of game..... u noe u need drage 4-5 scv +marine to kill 6-8 lings? =.= .....and its so hard micro with marine+scv compare ling just 1A on marine so easy!
|
Your greedy 1 rax expo relies on good scv/marine micro so either play a safer build or get better at micro.

Where are you pulling your facts from? Reaching a certain rank is a variable factor that is different for everyone, but most people would find it very difficult to reach the B- skill level from D+ in just a few months on their own. Simply "if you play a lot" isn't going to cut it.
Also, the difference between D+ and B-, and "competitive foreigners" isn't 10x different; it's an undeterminable factor that isn't as overestimated as you may think.

I agree with this, D+ reaching B- is hard, no doubt you'll have to be dedicated and practice a lot with watching replays of your failures. B- to A+ also will take longer, but for some individuals will be really easy. Some people are just better at mechanics than others, and need less practice which would fit the term "talented' and i've known guys that jumped from B- to A- in very short times
