As i was playing iccup, i started wondering how this season's skill is compared to last season. Personally i thought last season was harder than this one, but maybe its just i improved. Last season i had trouble climbing up C-, but this time it wasn't that hard i thought. Compare the ranks of this season to last in YOUR OPINION.

this season D=last season D/D+
This season D+=Last season D/D+
This season C-=Last season D+
THis sesaon C=Last season C


Yah i dunno the rest ;p...

Poll: Which season's harder?
(Vote): This season
(Vote): Last season
(Vote): I dont play iccup

I'm having trouble at the same place as last season, around the D+ level. Guess I just haven't improved much.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this season is much harder than last season ' -'a! I'm actually surprized that anyone voted the other way around o__o;;

It feels like ICCup is getting harder and harder for every season. Which kinda makes sense though.

Playing 20 games to get to C means nothing, the sample size is way too small. Play 50 accounts to C each season before you can say anything about if it's easier at lower ranks. And play them through out the entire season, not at varying times.

i think its harder this season, last season i made D+ pretty easily by just playing straight up, and i wasn't even that good. This season i couldn't even make D+, and i improved so much. I have beaten alot of people who say "oh yeah i'm C/C- on iccup" and i think yeah fucking right, i beat you and i'm not even D+.

or maybe i just had an unlucky streak of playing vs very good players, and tbh, the players i did play were quite good, i think the standard has got so much better since a few seasons ago.

I think this season's the hardest I've played in so far (I think i've played 2-3 seasons).

I hit C+ last season with a bit over 100 games, but I'm at C- right now with well over 100 games. Maybe I just suck, but I dont know, to me, the terrans right now are fucking crazy.

wait aren't u terran yourself from your icon? :o, i have some trouble withTvT T_T...

I've always wondered how other terrans on the server are doing with their TvP and TvZ. Occasionally i'll play offrace, just to see what strategy is popular.

It got harder again? Damn, I should have sneaked C- when I was able to. Now I haven't really played for like 2 months again. When semestre starts again I will be forced into a normal sleeping pattern and will be able to play at 4 am again, because forcing a normal pattern won't work.

Last season I went 24-2 to C rank, then 35-12 to C+, then 45-13 B-, 55-20- B then finished season with 55-22 B-.

This season Ive had issues since day 1 just unbelievably awful results. Once I got into C it was like a dead end not going anywhere. Reset stats and did it all over again, flew through D/D+, minor delay in C-, then again in C dead end.

It could just be the first month is typically the hardest since everyone likes to 8lon/9-10 gate vs zerg, then terrans like to 7/8rax bunk rush with 6 scvs, and zergs just standardize zvz. But thats how its looking on the zerg front at the moment.

From a terran perspective, at the current C-/C level,
TvZ: Zerg seems to get their pool and extractor at the same time now, and MUCH MORE 2 hatch mutas than last season. Most zerg players transition from mutas to lurkers, and not straight muta to ultra.

TvP: Im facing a lot of DTs, and toss often 2 gate power goon, and sometimes i get bulldogged with a reaver. Very rarely do they play standard 3 goon expo and another expo.

i actually thought this season was easier so far
it took me forever to get d+ last season, but i went 13-5 this season
then lost to a bunch of d+ players and im now 25-25
but maybe im just getting better

btw doesn't it seem like there are more toss users these days? over 60% of my games are vs p
maybe its just people abusing pvt on the low levels...
more weight

yes alot of your own improvements are quite subtle. you just suddenly play alot better when you reach a new level of understanding of the game. Not saying it`s like this for everyone but alot of people will have this kind of jumping from one level to the next one. And it is a very satisifying feeling when you reach the next plateau.

And to answer your question I fell it`s quite similar to last seasons level.
