It's possible to get to at least B with under 50% winrate

you can easily get C- with a win ratio just over 50% keep it up.

I'm finally getting back in form after a while and have gone 31-15(3601) so i'll probably top at C+ if i'm lucky B-

if you lost because you're not used to the cheese fest that is iccup then meh u have a while to go before u get stuck
if you lost because of straight up macro, you probably won't get past D+/C-

13-10 @ D. You wont get past D+ sorry m8~

If he spams he might get ahead....just maintain a 50% winrate

If he can barely maintain 50% vs D players, doing the same vs D+ and C- players is basically impossible, barring a massive improvement in skill. It took me a few months to go from 50% D to solid D+, and I'm just now making the transition to C-.

I feel you. I offrace zerg often (just finally got to D+ on the offrace woot), and 80% is definitely an accurate amount. The number of times I've been bunker rushed is unreal... really gives me an appreciation for how amazing savior's drones are at holding off a bunker rush.

Anyone who says you can get farther ranks just by massgaming is right.

it's not that much time assuming every game lasts 15 minutes approx
65+102=167*15=2505 minutes
1 day=1440 minutes*2=2880 minutes

so he has spent less than 2 days of actual play time over the course of what 2/2.5 months? not that much at all

You could certainly improve with practice, but if you are 13-10, you shouldn't expect to get past D+. I think i started the season 7-0 or 9-0 but now im below 50% and barely C+.

On a side note, does anyone think this season feels even more competitive than past ones? I reached C+ much earlier in the past 3 seasons.

Because so many people cheese, i've been going 12 pool speedlings in a lot of my ZvP and ZvT games. (depending on the map) Most tosses are bad at stopping run-bys and it also counters 2 gate well. 1 gate tech is a pretty good counter, but that's the rarest toss build, and if scouted, i can cancel speed and stop building lings. ZvT it's great vs rushes, and FE below their ramp. Against 2 rax or 1 rax FE, its not so good unless the terran doesn't keep a good ramp block. The only strong terran counter is a wall in, and you can often predict which maps that happens on. (destination, colosseum) If they go fast vults without walling, speedlings are faster than slow vults, and they probably only have a couple marines.

The difference between current D/D+ players and what you get in the first month of a season is HUGE. I'm a C- Terran, and I'm 10-0 right now. I have an account that I played in the first weeks of the season, I got to D+ with a 18-19 record, or smth like that
