it's funny how everyone will congratulate you when you make D+ but laugh at you if you make masters =)

People here need to get real. Post SC2 release getting D+ became a lot harder. Also, getting D+ with terran is nothing compared to getting D+ with protoss.

I remember how it was, 70 to 80% of the people in the D and D+ ranks were protoss, because it was so easy. You can just pick up protoss as a brand new player and compete at the D or D+ level.

So don't compare your old D+ protoss to nowadays D+ terran and trash him.


As for SC2 and master league. I don't know if it is easier or harder. But at least in SC BW you are good because of meaningful skills rather than mind games, guessing what your opponent does and countering cheese. In SC BW you actually have to master the gameplay of the game, which is a given in SC2 because of automations.

What the hell are you talking about? Almost everyone in this thread have congratulated him on his achievement and shown support. In fact, the general attitude in this thread was very positive until you came along and started to whine about how easy protoss is. And no, someone who is new to the RTS-scene cannot pick up protoss and be D+ instantly (Ok Kolll did but thats besides the point). This should be pretty obvious for anyone who has ever played BW. Lastly, in my own experience, iCCup is not harder after the SC2 release. At least not at D+ level.

To the OP: Congratz and GJ!
