I finally made it to D+!! Woot! :D After playing for like, 4 seasons. I couldn't even beat D players at first, but now I'm D+ ^_^. It's not much, but it's something. As always, with this comes a battle report. Although, I hate getting the pictures. >_> How do you guys convert them efficiently? Anyway...
He's top right, I'm bottom left. Cross Pos.
Lings chasing probe so he won't know...
5 HAT BEFORE GAS BABY. <3 YOU NOONE!!! Meanwhile, he goes...
Gate-forge before nexus... with a cannon in the main. Whatevs, drone drone drone.
He gets zealot speed.
I get... lair+like 5 hydras. Lol...
I check his forces, find it intimidating, so I run back to my base and add another sunken. Oh, and 2 free zealots. :D
He moves out with speed.
By now, I have a hydra force. So I move out... But we don't see each other. Result?
FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU MY DRONES T_T MY DRONES...
MY OVERLORDS. T_T
Meh, whatevs. I crunch his army and build up more drones. This time, I move out again and...
MUAHAHA, LURKER+HYDRA CONTAIN.
But storm T_T Oh storm. T_T
Fuck, he almost broke it...
But hey, reinforcements.
Meanwhile, I'm taking my 4th and 5th like a greedy little zerg.
He kills my cute zergling guarding the third, and takes it.
So I attack of course, with lurkers to cut off the zealots at the third :p
His zealots come back. My lurkers are weakened by storms...
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, also I hate lurker contains and his forge/gate is wrong lol But I enjoyed the BR hahaha, keep it up
That forge/gate is such a fag opening. It gets corsairs faster than normal. I really really really hate playing vs protoss players that open this way. The most common way is: Forge-Cannon-Nexus-Gate. Its safe vs overpool but not 9 pool, because you need 2 cannons.

PCXtoPNG was posted in the BW forum a few months ago but hardly got any responses, which is a real shame. All you have to do is drag and drop.
Also, congratulations on D+ and thanks for the battle report. There are too few these days
Nice work man. Always feels good hitting that new rank
Also its great to see people using under-rated builds and succeeding with them (read: builds that aren't used in proleague). I think it doesn't matter if jaedong isn't using it every game, if the build works for you, then its a great build. Looked like a fun game.
as for picture convertion, i use Irfanview, it has a batch conversion where you can slap in all the pcx and output all jpg or png to a different folder with a naming scheme and stuff. Also you might wanna try taking your screenshots with the replay bar hidden (its one of the options in chaoslauncher), or if you dont want to watch replays with a different launcher, you can overlay a small black square over the replay section to hide it when you do your batch conversion with irfanview.
Congrats! I remember when I got D+... just keep at it! I stopped playing for about a year and am now D... D- at worst. lol. Those skills will fade away so keep them sharp! BW fighting!
congrats! D+ was such a struggle for me back in the day. Then I REALLY wanted to be in the C rank channel. How gosu I felt when I first made it!
Keep it up! D+ is such a feat. Considering the majority of people never made it onto iccup or any other ladder server, you are one of the best players in the world!
GJ, nice battle report! Just out of curiousity - are those three hydras on the right (dropped there by ovies) in the picture described "But hey, reinforcements" stuck?
sc2 beta was down and i played bw for a solid 1-2 months, great game. i played really shitty players and guys who had no idea how to play the game period, lol. i didn't manage to win a game vs people with 150+ apm, but luckily i didn't have much of those people lol!
Congrats for D+, I was D+ last season (or the season before that, I have a battle report for myself too, but my game wasn't nearly as good as yours, it was a quick ZvZ with very fundamental mistakes from the opponent).
Congrats on getting D+. I was never into iCCup so unfortunately I missed out on it. That and getting started now after getting spoiled by SCII might be hard, but, it's really tempting. What do you guys think? Too late to start now? XD
This also makes me want to play BW. I think I'm gonna start practicing.
I remember being a little kid and trying multiplayer out. But it was quite... shocking. You remember day9 and Martin the marine? I was that kind of kid.
