My goal for this season on iccup is to be at LEAST a C- Rank, AT LEAST! I would aim higher but I don't know how long it will take me to be C. If possible I would aim for C. So please tell me what I could do to improve, tips for training and the kind of things you think about when playing so I know how to apply the knowledge.

here's replay

http://fighterreplays.com/starcraft/replays/5fef08

Main reasons why I lost were:

-Unit position could've been better.
-I engaged when I shouldn't have which made me suicide my army.
-I need to hotkey better, cuz i need like an obs for every control group so my zealots and goons don't die to mines.
-Maybe I should've harassed his expos faster and more often making him unsiege.

Good things
- I had good macro, I had 30 population higher than him like in the beginning.


PLEASE PLEASE if you guys could tell me how long this would take to be a C rank on iccup or even C-. Like a generalization, just an idea of how long it would take. Cuz ppl told me they think im c toss, or they think i would need to play like 50 more games and i would be c- but it's been 200+ games since, and STILL D+ I REALLY REALLY want that new color BADLY. I WANT TO JOIN THE RANKS OF THE Cs.

I can manage to play about 3 hours of sc a day! plenty of time to improve, but i want to have a plan in order to force myself to improve faster. I dont want to be hanging around the Ds anymore, I want to soar HIGHER and be a C then, later a B, and if i STILL play sc after SC2 comes out, then As!!!!!!!!!!!! I BELIEVE!!!

if you're struggling at d+ and your friends say you're C or whatever, those people are very poor judges for skill level. Just play more and learn from your mistakes? That's really all there is too it once you know the basics
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.
