I know people always say that D starts in masters, but thats mostly said by people who were fking TERRIBLE at broodwar and don't understand that D players were honestly as bad as silver players on sc2 in terms of skill of the game.

Thats actually 100% not true, the only people who think that are plat/diamond sc2 players who like to think that they have some form of actual skill. Go and play 10 games of BW vs D/D+ players, if your not convinced.

Actually most of the people who say masters starts at D are higher level BW players who don't need an artificial ego boost because they think they are geniuses who magically improve at the game without any hard work.


I did play ICC. D/D+ players were pretty trash. Sorry to burst your bubble but any high ICC players don't need to brag about how good D was. lol cause... they weren't very good at all.

Yeah I agree. I was D+ and I was pretty damn bad. Most D and D+ player's were somewhere between bad and ok-ish. D+ really wasn't hard to get into.

a solid D player in BW is like already better than 95% of everyone that has played BW

when i say "solid D," I mean someone who has played a lot of games and still maintains rank D. Most bad D people you face are actually D- and worse but they just haven't played enough to get that lower rank yet

I'm not saying they aren't terrible im saying that gold/plat players are even worse. Any D player can make at least mid/high diamond pretty easily. And i hate to burst your bubble but i think i would know quite a bit more about the skill of D/D+ players then you...

It's all the about the e-penis man. Just like how in sports guys like to extrapolate to make it seem like they have huge dicks, we have people in Starcraft1/2 inflating their rank to grow their e-peen.


This. People can't be honest with themselves and prefer to make themselves to be better than they are. It's just easy to say, "Hey I'm this good cause look at my win rates", when you'd probably end up around 50% if you kept playing. People like to think they're special and or better than everyone else so people lie.
