QXC is B level in iccup so there's a lot of QXC's? more like C- and D+ high in master league. I have to admit i don't care about master's league but definitely I'm still more in to improving than being ranked in some league. Also, quite funny that some of the stagnant diamond players are back and playing lol
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

I'm actually cerious about how many people where still playing broodwar this last couple years. I know I was able to go from D to D+ with only a couple dozen games while in SC2 it took me hundreds of games to get into diamond and hundereds more and I'm nowhere near masters. There is millions of people actively playing sc2 and only around 10 000 masters. Was the percent of people who were actively playing bw and were above C+ less than .5%?

did you play protoss in bw? because D+ protoss isn't the same as D+ terran or D+ zerg for sure, protoss is generally undisputedly easier to play at lower levels in bw. i could get to C on riding on PvT, whereas I could barely hold C- with any other matchups. also getting to D+ was pretty easy if you could execute an all-in well, but that doesn't really reflect true skill either

also in general: for people not getting into masters: if you generally for, say, every set of 20 games, go 10-10, it's likely you're not improving. blizzard's point system is designed such that anybody who masses games enough can be at the top of their division, but the visible points aren't especially related to skill. if you really want to improve, hunker down with some decent practice partners (optimally above your level) and work at working out the kinks in your game, smoothing out your build orders, and improving mechanics. that's the best surefire way to improve, imo.

I was zerg. I always did a 2 hatch muta regardless of if they were terran or protoss and if it was zerg I'd try to end it right before the muta came up because my antiscourge micro was crappy. I played against my friends a lot but had very little iccup experience but I know I was crappy and am certain I am much MUCH better at starcraft 2.

I know for a fact I was never anywhere near B level on iCCup, maybe C if I played a lot, but I never got enough games in to even get to D+ (Like maybe 6 to 10 games a season lol) but in SC2 I was in diamond in less than 30 games and when masters started I was in it in 2 games. So if I can get it I feel it's safe to say masters league is for anybody who could get at least C- on iCCup.

From what it sounds like iccup wasn't evenly distributed. I get the impression its like .02% of people are in A, 0.2% of people are in B, 2% of people are in C and 97.69% of people where in D.

Yeah I feel the same as you. 3700 C- high zerg on ICCUP (season 12 I think) and even though I think I'm a terrible terrible noob, I easily reached high diamond and will almost definitely get instantly promoted to masters when I get the chance to play again (haven't played since a week before 1.2 release).

Master's League = D+ at best, maybe C- if you were protoss in bw.

I bet you half the the top200 list wouldn't make it past B- on iccup today, look at amazing players like CombatEX, Piqliq, Katari, the entire GMMA clan "dominating" ladder, but they would never win a starcraft tournament against real pros like Nony or Ret.
Just about everyone thinks that blizz ladder is a joke, partly because of maps and partly because its a cheese/allinfest at ALL levels.

Not the same game. Not the same system. You can't make loose comparisons. Please stop.
slap me I must be dreaming another "imba" arugment! fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

I actually intended it to mostly be about Bnet 2.0 and the evolving game so ICCUP fit in pretty nicely. The whole idea is that being in masters is not brag worthy and I feel disappointed about that. When I became C-, I was incredibly proud.
