Finally, after 3 years of BW, I got to C+.
It's probably inflated due to the fact there are very few C level players on at any one time making it so I had to play quite a few C- players as well. But I don't care. My rank finally got the yellow plus and I'm excited!

And the link doesnt work right because of the brackets in my id. just copy and paste it in the toobar sorry.

I wonder if I could get C-. Would make my life, although I fear SC2 has corrupted my BW skills.

hey its night time right now for me and I'm in a "the world and my life are really cool" mood.
Do you know how hard it is just to obtain D+? its actually an insane, unreasonable amount of work and dedication to ask of someone. Yet people get to that ridiculous skill level all the time.
Sometimes I go to music juries at my college and I see a singer talk lightly of their skills as a singer, then blow my mind with the talent he or she has. It happens all the time but I think "I have no idea how much work this person put into this really cool thing. It probably took years to get to this level. I can't even imagine." and for the rest of the day I feel really happy knowing that there are people that push themselves in arguably pointless things.
a person that does not push him/her-self in some kind of discipline I feel could never understand doing a really hard thing and getting feedback that you succeeded. I try to see skill in a lot of things and have much respect for someone who commits to that discipline.
so lots of respect to you

Congratulations, I'm still dreaming of C-. With iccup being as brutal as it is now, your accomplishment is truly amazing. You are the boss.

so true...goddamit congrats!

I still remember every time I jumped a rank for the first time. Good job!
|
grats! C+ is truly impressive.
|
I just hit C+ a few weeks ago too. I felt so happy.... but then I got a 3-24 streak. But it is always great to play BW even if you are losing. ^^
|
SC2 is getting boring after a month on b-net(ranking upper diamond). I think I'm going to start playing BW again. My friend told me that the competition on ICCUP is in fact a little bit easier due to some new players and departure of veterans, so maybe I'm going to hit C+ as well
|
Congrats! It's always such a great feeling to make that kind of accomplishment, especially if you've been chasing it for a long time.

Hard to say. From what I garner, Diamond is like D+/C- on iccup? You should totally give it a shot however. After playing SC2 for an extended period of time, going back to BW feels like going home.
|
C+ was always my biggest goal in BW. I hit C last may, then at the end of the last season before I started playing sc2 I hit 4800, but couldn't make the final push ;;. One day I'll try again.
Gratz on C+ yo!
EDIT: wow yonghwa u stalking my posts or wut
|
Wow Shotcoder long time no see man. Congrats! We should play sometime~
|
Hey, I remember you from CPL. Cool that you made C+, wish I kept playing BW  Grats.
|
Congratz. C+ is super impressive ^^
edit: Diamond is D level.
edit 2: as in where you start.

SHOTCODER IS FUCKING GOSU GG

|
congrats! Where's the battle report?
|
|
Wow, congrats on getting to C+
|
Do you dare to dream? Just received the yellow plus Dare to dream of blue.
|
Congrats man, I would actually say its pretty difficult to get C+ now given the fact htat it must be a LOT harder to find games, especially those of non-smurfs =\
|
Congrats. I just got C- for the first time in 3 years of BW and I thought that was hard... well done on C+!

nice one dude :O still mad i lost that game tho
anyways to the sc2 players in diamond thinking they can hop on iccup and get C-, you cant. it takes time to learn the builds :O
|
Let me know when you get to C++ so I can give you some pointers.
|
|
Grats dude! Remember you from CPL; you beat like everyone you played until you ran into my team in the playoffs. :D
|
I knew it was you the second I read the blog title. 
Congratulations man!

That's a real achievement! I know how it felt for me to get C- (Haha so low). Don't quit laddering altogether though to preserve your rank.

I was the one that got you chatbanned by the way. The way you reacted to this game was so disgusting. Manner > skill. The biggest irony is that you were shitting on me, telling me I had to be C+ or higher and that I was a noobstomping stats-clearing faggot, and now you are C+, and I am barely C.

I rage, and I get made fun of for it, i love and accept it. I've quited my raging down quite a bit and now just leave games for the most part instead. Like I said I think my C+ is part fluke do to the real lack of C or higher players and having to play C-.
and really my mechanics aren't C+ level at all, I win off timing pushes, or just trying to be faster. I mean I got C+ strictly because C level protoss can't deal with Strong FD into 5 fact....like at all.
And Murderotica...what happened to the BM in what was CBW? lol @ Roffles I'm sure I have them on my HD somewhere. probably still have that one where I raged at Mekhami(sp?) for messaging me in my game vs Altair in CPL.

Congrats its a real good achievement. Hopefully you can get B- in time too.

Going into a channel full of only B's and A's - you will be starstruck. First time I hit B-, I was just in awe "HOLY SHIT IM IN A-B LADDER CHANNEL WITH 40 A'S AND B'S OH MY FUCKING GOODNESS"
Haha I hope it's even half that awesome.
And Murderotica/Roffles, I don't rage because I'm pissed I'm playing a smurf or anything. I told this same thing to Shauni in CPL when we talked about why I rage. I rage because I feel I can win every game, no matter who I play. And because of that I immediately get pissed at myself and thus have to flame the person who is better than me for no reason. It's stupid, but I feel like I could seriously beat anyone at anytime, even though I'm only C. W/e Stupid shit I've been trying to stop and have stopped except 3-4 times this season.

I honestly think it might be at the point where so many people have left, the competition is getting a bit worse now. I hit C- last season with my glorious 110 apm, and I could repeat again if my buddy didn't come back and start playing games with me thereby taking time away from Iccup. I've also noticed it seems harder getting games against D+ level people to some degree... and compared to previous seasons, I don't think the competition is where it used to be.
It probably changes after you reach a certain point, but I think that holds until ~C-.

I disagree. There are many more griefers (cheesers, smurfers, /clear stats, etc.) now because Koreans see ICCup as a place to troll people and noobstomp, and as a counter-measure the general populate has adapted accordingly. I don't mean more numerically, but statistically - the percentage of them has gone up. Also, the rest of the people still playing are more likely to be die-hard fans. I definitely think that C- is harder to get, and even harder to get out of than it was before.
|
every season it got harder to get the same ranks because it felt like everyone kept getting better collectively. I was stuck at B- for like 4 seasons straight but I know I was getting better.

great job! you sir are better than most of us here on TL be proud!

I hit C last season.
I'm struggling to hit C- this season.
I'm so sad.
Maybe it has to do with me waking up and feeling groggy while I play during Korean time. -_-
