I did it before season ended, I hit C-

Points 3089
Statistics 132 - 258 - 0

After few cruel losses to cheese, (especially @ blue storm, hi bunker rushes) I managed to win twice bunker rush cheese. Of course iccup server been unstable (antihack messing up aka dropping out) had to make like 3-4 complaints but got points .

So mandatory statistics:

Zerg 127-260 33% 387 games (no complaints at these stats)

ZvZ 22-50 (31%)
ZvP 48-112 (30%)
ZvT 55-98 (36%)

Maps stats are more wild than you can think:

(Click picture for bigger view)
[image loading]


Things that I noticed while playing this season:

- I was moving D to D+ and back D constantly for over 100 games and finaly managed to stay there for rest of season until C-
- Spirit ladder gave lot of new "smurf" accounts which ruined my possibility getting C- faster
- My ZvP is so bad that even my cat can micro/macro better
- My ZvT is best but I consider it to be hardest of all matchup
- Doing little things like making extra lings vs terran pays off a lot early game because terrans are expecting little aggression from zerg until mutas arrives

Perhaps my next goal is to get C- and try to stay there for sometime. Thanks for all who followed my progress via my blogs :D

If you wonder why I have so many maps at my list, this is because I cant host games so I just join if I see game which is my rank. Naturally host gets advantage because he might have trained that map like 30 games in row and I might have played only few games on it.

That's twice today I've seen you basically putting down people who are trying to get better at Starcraft. This is a Starcraft Site. A lot of people here are trying to improve, and a lot of others are willing to help them. Yes, there are other parts of this site not dedicated to Starcraft, but if you see no point in improving, then why'd you even click on this blog?

yeah johnmaster gtfo

gj too_muchzerg ! ^ ^ let's see that C- turn into a C gogogogogogo
the progression to C- > C is fairly simple just clean up your macro and multitasking
C-> C+ is pretty hard and C+ -> B- is even tougher so if you don't have any plans go for it! otherwise just aim for that nice C and that is a great sense of determination

all in all GJ msg me if you want some Z help i'm C+ EzPzLmnSqz @ iccup

its default icon when creating account it seems and you need password to change it (which is some random chars/numbers) equals cant remember my password :D Luckily automatic log in is my key to victory. Of course I could get it via forget password thing but yeah. Just too lazy I guess :D

Very inspiring to see someone mass game and get good results without worrying about statistics. Congratulations.

Btw, can someone tell me how many days left in the season?

Nice one. I made it to D+ a few times in my Iccup experiences but I got bored fairly quickly. Maybe it was because I would win an intense 30 minute macro war then suddenly lose to Cheesers who DT drop, Proxy DT tech, zealot + cannon front wall, steal gas (twice), proxy pylon worker area, proxy pylon your door (so you can't wall), pylon your machine shop place so if you lift they'll make sure it will never land, etc



300 games played due is dedication. Nice milestone there. If I had more losses then wins I would almost automatically make a new account hah.
