I have an embarrassing confession, I've never hit C- rank on ICCup. My winrate has always been good when I'm not cheesing, but it's so easy to lose focus after a series of losses. Now the ladder is tougher than ever, but fewer than 1000 points separate me from glory.

It's going to be a long night. Wish me luck!

I always say I'm c- because i beat my c level practice partners sometimes and i regularly beat c-'s. I only got to 2500 points though.

i beat an A- player once, does that make me an A player? as a matter of fact, i have a 100% winrate vs A- players.

skill > rank.

With that aside, it's still exciting to get a new rank. A reward, a feedback to look forward to. Good luck.

ultimately your rank is a fair representation of your skill, unless you were abusing. So no, rank = skill

i just started playing on iccup after a year. so far I have played a grand total of 2 games.

first game was a tvt and because i haven't played any matchup except tvp (because my school only has toss noobs) for about a year, i put up a good fight but ultimately lost.

second game was a tvz where i knew a 6 pool was coming, put down a bunker and pumped rines but choked and still lost my barracks and then all my marines when i took them out to shoot at lings harassing at buildings outside the bunker range

you go for it man, don't let any cheeser ruin your goal

Actually... I never got to C- either, looks like we`re having similar goals this season.

I got to D+ then failed.
That being said, you can definitely do it. Keep trying.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

well getting to c- ain't hard if you play in 12 hours

right now there are mostly koreans and they are much better than your average non-korean guy
with zapperlot i only play koreans: hardly D+, less than 50% winrate
with my other account i play everyone, C without problems
