I had this idea which could involve some "Shady" actions but would be very beneficial to the community. I am not really sure about the rules on this on iCCup but what if some of us TeamLiquidians were to have a combined iCCup account which we could then reach A on. We could then play some Korean and horribly lose to them but check their hotkeys and watch replays, therefore learning who is on top of the ladder.

Tell me what you think, of course this would be illegal i believe on iccup if we were to "throw" games only to reach that level. But perhaps we could pool our "skills" to reach our goal of A, the Who is Who thread would be amazing.

no..That sort of defeats the idea, of us playing the progamers to lose and get replays. The Idea is for a combined group to do it,not get someone else to do it for us

Id love to do this,if you get enough support count me in please

If you mean freewinning your way up to A then no. But if you mean using a big shared account to play then yeah. But differently I would rather just have a community account in order to have the lesser players get to play people above their level etc. or just to see how high we could get it o_o; I'm not really big on aka busting; just let people who don't want to be known play =/

Now that you announced it publicly you can no longer do it...

Thats not true nobody is going to search every random Korean ID for my IP, not to mention we could use someones else and arrange it through alternate channels. But either way this is all hypothetical.

Depends on if you mean by playing to A or freewinning all the way up to A.

There are multiple shared accounts on ICCup. One more won't hurt. As mentioned it depends on if you want Tl.net to freewin till A rank or just mass gaming till A rank.

A great idea BTW!

Or you know, no one could do this and just save themselves a whole lot of time wasted on an almost very pointless endeavor.

Look I'm sorry, but I just think is a very stupid idea.

Just watch the buttload of replays from TSL. Many of them are top quality games (some even vs. *gasp* Koreans).

EDIT: nm, it seems I have misunderstood the OP. The point is for bad players to PLAY koreans/high level foreigners?

It's a nice thing, to get some community accounts and let the low skill players get to play high skill players here and there for a new experience...

Theres a reason there not using there real akas. Let them be unknown if thats what they want. They might be testing out a new build or just messing around and dont want people to be like OMG I RAPED FLASH.

Why don't we just ask iccup Raelcun, he seems to have a pretty good idea of who's who.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=72494; I bet those are fairly accurate, but it is true that it doesn't seem to have the current top 5 on iccup (including one who has over 400 games, I bet he's not a progamer but an amateur. But the number 2 guy is like 115-18 I bet he's a licensed progamer).

I think alot of people are missing the point of this.

We would make this account so we could become A rank then play the top of the ladder Koreans. After playing them we could take their replays and analyze them with BWchart, and compare replays with Pro Gamers. Some of these top players must belong to pro teams, even if they are amateurs it would be nice to know who is on top of the ladder :D
