People always used to make blogs about how they hit D+ or whatever. This is basically the same because I am both D+ on iccup and number 1 in my diamond division.

I really dislike the division system. Your rank isn't a reflection of your skill level just of whether you got placed in a newer division or an older one, or one with good/active people or not.

if you can hit D+ on iccup now then you're fucking incredible.

and this is an issue that has been apparent since the start of beta. i don't actually have sc2 yet, so i can't check, but can you find your friend's ladder points? because that really is the only thing worth looking at

Go by points... #1 in a div means nothing, it just gives a short term goal to aim for.

Gratz though its always good to be #1 =P now to see how long u can hold it, the games still fresh =P

#1 in a no name division isn't that impressive but #1 in a division with 5-10 known players is another thing ^^

n congrats xD

points? or else as you said it doesn't matter.i consider anyone 300-500 average 500-650 above average and 650+ highly skilled player(this will obviously change as time goes on and points become more inflated, but i honestly don't understand blizzard's system so i can't really comment if it'll get inflated lol)
for there to be pro there has to be noob.

Actually I think the point values you mentioned are pretty stable since it seems that the ladder system used by Blizzard doesn't reward mass gaming too much. Saw some 170-120 guy only have like 450 points, where I'm at 500 with 51-25. Just like iccup it gets pretty hard to gain points the higher you go, and you start to lose points pretty fast too.

Still hate how complicated they make the ladder, no clear way to judge since rank means nothing.

Yes, I have this theory that the only people left on ICCUP are people who are very good at it. Just a theory, but it seems that there are some tough opponents out there.

Might just be me though.

I disagree. The skill level doesn't seem to have changed at all. I thought it was going to see a spike w/ so many leaving, but the spread of player skill is par for the course.

being number 1 in your division is great

it means you get to play other people of roughly your skill level

which means you get gg's

stop whining and be happy =)
