yeah I hate that
this only benefits super gosus who should be a few ranks higher. And it hurts noobies like me because I'd get raped silly and don't know what hit me.

That aside, I'm 2-0 on iccup ~_~

I'm 3200 1x1 and 2600 2x2. I lost more games at D level than I did at D+ level, and lost were cuz of 2 gate proxy rush and bbs bunker rush. I recommend 9 pooling more often early season o.o

I honestly can't complain about it since it makes perfect sense. It's the only way to prevent super gosus from getting raped trying to get games when they are 17-1... that is, unless they start people who were B/A last season at C or something like that...

the scoring system on ICCup sucks.
The first reason is that it requires a reset. This could be fixed easily by replacing the reset with a daily point decay which is proportional to the points the player has.
The second reason is that you move really slowly to your real rank. This can be fixed by seperating estimated play level from the rank. There are some good papers about how MS achieved that for xbox-live.
The greatest advantage of the ICCup system is, that everybody can understand it. A second, imo dubious advantage is that it encourages massgaming.

I'm 7-0, tough games today though (and I played a lot better especially in the first, I could feel it )

P.s.: No cheeses, unless you call my gosu 4 dark drop vs terran a cheese

Or if you call 10-12 gate a cheese (in which case you're a dumbfuck )

well its not that insanely hard, but when you go to play on D+ and get 2 40 minute games in a row, real tough ones and you feel like you have been hit by a truck, its not really something you expect at D+ usualy

Well there is some luck of the draw with who you run into at low ranks especially in the early season. It could be someone who will be stuck at D+ all season or someone climbing to B.

This is good that you can't see their record. That means that you will be playing with better players when you otherwise would be dodging and you would realize that they are not that great anyways. And since you are playing better players you will improve. Don't be a stats whore and just play to play and get better.

I'm 10-2 this season really playing maybe once in a while.

That's the whole point, to hurt people who play based on record. For 75% of the season it hardly affects anything. It's a more competitive aspect to a competitive ladder, so everyone can play anyone. It'd be awesome to be able to play A players all day.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Oh goodness me, FOX tv where do you get your sight? Can't you keep track, the puck is black. That's why the ice is white.
