If you manage to get a steady C+, you also get the B- icon, regardless of old or new ranking. The trick was to maintain a B-. Really, there's not a difference. There were plenty of people in Clan leagues with B-, which were beatable. If you looked closer it was one-time B- with a peak of maybe 61xx. However, people with a 63xx rating were an entirely different issue. From what I saw on one of the OP's akas he already managed to get beyond a point range in which there actually was a difference between C+ and B- icon people. Mission already achieved. ... then again I get why you want that symbol so hard. Even though it makes no sense. | ||

Like someone else said earlier, for whatever reason B- used to be the first "respectable" rank. Getting to join the Ladder A-B channel for the first time and seeing all the Koreans in there was pretty sweet. Of course there were a bunch of different types of players who got that rank: there were the people who played during Korean hours (by far the hardest way to do it, but the most rewarding), there were the people who would only play foreigners, and there were the people who just brute forced it by playing a bunch of games and only winning like 30% of them but since wins gave more points than you'd lose by losing, you could eventually hit the rank. But regardless of how you got there, the shiny blue rank next to your name on iCCup does look pretty compared to that ugly yellow. | ||

A C+ can play a D- and I think the gain 97 points if they win on a motw and only lose 62. So Yes, B- is more or less meaningless if you abuse but however in my opinion the ladder seems harder now especially against a lot of C+/C players. Its still a personal goal lol. | ||

I haven't been playing as much as I want but I'm 7-16 lol since starting to game again. A lot of the games are because of decision making mistakes that I am making so I feel that I will start winning more. I think 9-10 of those losses are too people that were B-/B/B+ at the time of playing them, are B- now, or were last few seasons so I don't really mind losing these games. On a plus note, I also manage to beat some B- players. | ||

SO JUST DO IT. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. | ||
