I find it a lot harder too.
It's pretty obvious that a lot of the worst players switched to SC2. I'm C- previous seasons, and I could sometimes go 12-0 at the beginning because there were some terrible players, especially at the non korean hours. So when you arrive in D+ ranks, quite a lot of D+ players actually reached D+ rank by running into terrible D players, so they are D+, but still pretty bad. But all the worst D players are gone, so getting D+ is not as easy. So the D+ players you meet are so much better than the former D+, hence it's harder to get C-, so when you play vs C- players.... etc etc, all the ranks are shifted. It might make less difference for the very high ranks though, since B and over will have no trouble to go through the 'new D ranks'

Honestly, just keep playing iccup, and supplement it with USeast noob bashing sessions.

It's the only way I can keep laddering without too much frustration.

Most of which are Koreans, which were already 1 rank better than the rank they play on, because they have to play other koreans. Even at 3-4 AM KST, Iccup is still 90% KOR .

Go koreans, go!
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

Same thing happened to me. I was trying to get to C a few days before the game came out and even then the skill level was higher than what I felt like it was before.


Was the opposite for me. Managed to get to C- while phase 2 was up with relative ease. Skill gap seemed about the same as it had always been, if not worse.

Sigh... SC2 is where it's at right now.

BW is only fun with friends and watching and ICCup is too frustrating.
