Actually kinda makes me wanna go back but I'm too scurred about how badly I'd be after 600+ SC2 games. I had a similar struggle getting to C- that lasted over the course of several seasons. Totally felt awesome reaching that goal. Much more satisfying than anything I've accomplished in SC2 although I'm still shooting for a move into Masters.

Gratz man!

I bet getting into D+ is actually so much harder now that most of the bad people have migrated to sc2, and only the truly dedicated have stuck around with bw.

Oh man. The way you talk about how you got into the BW scene reminds me of how I've only started so recently too. Hope I can follow you up with my first D+ as well (in a few seasons probably @_@ I suck lol). Congrats my Protoss brethren and GL HF GG. Go for the gold! (well yellow since that what C icons are xD).

Why don't they combine the firebat suit with the medic, so you have to make less units?

Nah, there are still plenty of bad people at D.

It's just a random crapshoot of who you get to play.

Congrats!

Moving up a rank on iCCup always gives off a good feeling of extreme satisfaction. Enjoy it! It's neat to see Brood War blogs like this.

Not sure if this has anything to do with this blog, but man that would be a scary thought for zerg. Medic's that can rape lings, I think i might find myself with a large increase in PvT's on ICCup

You can do it man! I know whats helped me the most is making sure my macro is tight and builds are good, plus watching vods/reps/ making sure i understand how to use and position my army correctly. Coming to large fights well and keeping up the macro is pretty effective against D/low D+ players.

This game looks familiar...but it could very well just be how all my TvP games go. >.> Who did you play against?

Congrats though! I know how it felt when I reached D+ for the first time. It was amazing. ^^


This game was against Tenhou

yeah getting to C- is soooo hard...i think as a zerg i have to be able to pull off drops while managing my army to consistently beat D+ toss, and D+ terran..i can't seem to beat them in the late game bio war...though i can with 2 hatch muta..it's just too hard to manage multiple defilers to attack expos while still managing the defilers and defense at my own base

but anyways, congrats on D+, the true proof that you can occasionally macro...though D+ in korean hours is different than D+ in american hours..which i think you'll find out pretty quickly


good luck finding games at d+ that isn't

1. a smurf
2. a korean
3. 2800+, or basically c- rank

:<

grats on the rank!


I say bring it! On the plus side I dodge nothing and have a tendency to join D/D+ games. About half of my current games are vs KR, and alot of my games are vs various people who are D+/C-/C high.

For just getting to C- I'll probably beat the weak D+ players, and lose vs actual C- or better people + smurfs.



Congrats on reaching D+!! I never got higher than D myself, as it seems like every time I would try to play a game I would get stomped by 300+ APM freaks of nature. At least I can brag about getting absolutely demolished by ForGG and Pure before their smurfs reached the unobtainable A+ (I used to love those who's who threads back in the day).


Dude, thats so awesome, and yeah those threads were super fun. I'm almost considering getting into the hotkey analysis stuff to continue those threads because they were so cool. Awesome that you have played two progamers!

Hitting D+ was the happiest moment of my sc career(moreso than c- or C), I was so mad though because I was going on a vacation, so I couldn't ladder for a whole week!

Glad to read about people still playing and improving on bw .

Yes because I was c- and you were a less than 50% d player, so i figured you didn't know how to build anything, and made nothing but drones. Its too bad you dodged the 50 times I asked you to play though, those would have been fun games.

If you wanna take more screenshots you should get Ducklink

I got D+ 3 times before as protoss, but then I started playing zerg. Ever since, I've been unable to play well enough to actually say I played a good game(even with mistakes). So I probably won't reach D+ again for a while. Oh well, back to trying to learn zerg. Hopefully I'll reach it again someday.
Also, I only play decent against TL members. That's something interesting.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

When I got D+ as Terran I didn't feel like I earned it even though I didn't cheese any of my games. It was so hard trying to hold on to D+ for me >,<

Grats on D+ though! Good luck on C-
