Games got exciting for me at C-, especially high C-. C and C+ games are challenging but very fun. | ||

Scores like 1130 and 1260 mean they're 1-0 and 2-0 respectively on MOTW maps. A score like 1125 means they're 1-0, with a single win coming against a D+ player. That said, I STILL CAN'T BREAKOUT OF D+ BLAAURURRGHGHGHGHGHGHH. I beat some C- or C players, but I just can't do it consistently. That, and I don't really ladder that much. Still, I have a replay of me beating ZnF in a TvT :D | ||

I can never get games in op teamliquid. I'm there all day going "anyone want to play?". It is just an AFK channel in my experience. To be honest, people don't even say hi back to me.  As for my ladder experience, I actually stopped playing BW for sc2 and came back a while ago. The low ranks (D/D+) are really easy. Once I get to ~C though it becomes very difficult to find games. Koreans tend to use whatever build flash/bisu/jaedong used on TV most recently, Peruvians are still married to their dark templars and Chileans continue to make too many zerglings. In my experience the only thing that changed was the amount of players. | ||

Is sc2 any good for giving you really close games? For a while I thought the D level player had gotten worse, but now I'm thinking that maybe I just got better. The level of play just jumped quickly right after starcraft 2 (way more than it does from season to season) got released so maybe you shouldn't compare skill level to then. It was so bad I had to stop laddering for a while just to feed my own pride. Most of the time I'm on the cheesing side (2 gate or 2 gate no attack expo if I scout 2 gate probably won't work), but I find that most D players don't cheese me  SC2's matchmaking does tend to give pretty fair games, which is one of the few advantages of battle.net 2.0. Unfortunately, of course, you can't play a specific matchup or map. | ||

The day iccup dies it's the day when foreingers stop playing this game. What else would you do? Wait the whole evening to just get a single game? Sorry, but that's not my idea of entertainment. Even before SC2 it usually took us 10-30 mins to get a game on a decent map. And from what I heard it's much harder to find a game now because there are much fewer players. | ||

I created a game on Empire of the Sun when it was motw recently (and fighting spirit wasn't, like 2 weeks ago?). A whole fifteen minutes later no one joined. It may have been an awkward time of day but it is definitely much harder to get games these days. | ||

A whole fifteen minutes later no one joined. It may have been an awkward time of day but it is definitely much harder to get games these days. Part of it may be the maps. I host pretty much exclusively on Fighting Spirit and I have rarely had to wait more than 5 minutes - on average, someone joins in less than 30 seconds. It may be my time zone (Korean), but that's my experience at any rate. | ||

Also, I was under the impression that the skill level has increased since the release of SC2 due to the fact that many bad players switched? | ||

There is no problem getting games at low levels but once you get up to like C or higher it is pretty ridiculous. As for the skill level, yeah its true that a lot of the lower level players switched over to sc2 but so did a lot of the good players. Pro/semi-pro or other gosu Koreans though have pretty much left ICCup too. There aren't as many good players as there used to be. :S | ||

But on the other hand, isnt BrainClan and Fish pretty much the same thing as iCCup, besides the language barrier? | ||
