OP needs to play at least 20 more games before making such retarded assumptions of the iccup ladder as a whole. Come back and post here when you hold a stable C- or even a D+ account and tell us how "E-Z" iccup is then..lol.

Yeah man you are so tough. I bet CM would rape you if you played right now. Gauging from past LAN's, CM is at least C- or more. Do you know a player is 33-58 before you play them? No, you only see their points. Congrats on your faggot life, I guess.

And, 52 post self-righteous gaywad, most D players turtle like a mofo. It took Stork 1.3 HOURS to beat GGPlay. Turtling takes a lot of time to crack. Just shut up dude, trying to act tough here is stupid. Don't bash on TL old-timers either.

GGPlay =/= D rank player

This blog wasn't very good. I think people log on to iccup thinking 'pro gamers play here, everybody plays here, it must be gosu' and then all of a sudden they find some roll over oppts.

In days past when I was serious about improving/ladder climbing I would log onto useast and play 1 or 2 play obs games to warm up my hands. The average skill in those games is , from my experience around c-, which to me is your average gamer, D+/C- are starcraft without the hardwork and dedication.

CM, try and play iccup only on map of the week vs people you find in channel with no loses or very few, you'll notice when you can't place your first hat and lose a drone to a probe that there are some good players even at the lower ranks.

Yes it does....
If you are way better than someone you won`t use 20+ mins killing them unless you are fooling around or got crippled early or something. Its a reason every C+ or higher ranked players used to have <15 min and most <10min average game length in the D and D+ ranks when iccup still had that kind of stats.


well i do think in general it's true that good players aren't going to take more than 15 mins to beat people who are far below them.. However, I think that the amount of time it takes a person to kill another has a lot to do with style as much as anything else.. Although progamers can pretty much play every single style, so it's no problem for a great player to end games quickly when they get leads.. However, for those of us who mostly just play a safe style when they have the lead, the games may last a bit longer than those who play an aggressive style and invest their $$ in units rather than expansions.
I'm kinda rambling here.. basically I almost always end games before the 15 min mark, but occasionally I'll play a newbie and he'll turtle off of two bases, and I'll wait until I'm maxed out before I attack..

I'm pretty sure the point of D level is that it's fairly easy. Iccup is great because the vast majority of the competitive community can find an appropriate level to practise at.

Is it really easier than other ladders? I've heard the exact opposite; that iccup is much more difficult to advance through than PGTour was and gets a bit more challenging every year. I'm only D+ but I would win 90% of my games if they were against true D/D- players. Games are very inconsistent at that level though- plenty of C level (or higher) players working their way up through most of the season.

Well I've always thought that both of you were dumbasses.

But don't read too much into it.

For the record I had no idea these guys would be so bad. I had no idea these guys had negative records, all I see is the points when they join, I don't even know how many games they played. So I took the matches very serious and expected some kind of 1 base do or die drop move or something. So I De'd up and pretty much fully teched out while expanding 2-3 times.

No, I'm not trying to brag or say that iccup is easy. I am just surprised that the skill level was so low on the D ranks. I had no idea. And obviously I haven't played enough games to pass a judgment except for the fact that some players are really really bad.


PS- I don't know how any of you idiots took this as a brag blog, or Iccup is EZ, I'm the best player ever thread. Reading comprehension FTL. And if you read down towards the bottom I actually had some questions to follow up the post like :
When can I expect to see some decent players? I'm currently 1650 points, I assume D+ is 2k, C is 3k, and so on.

..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

You move up a sign every 1k points, not a letter grade. So C- is 3k C is 4k etc
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Fine. let me rephrase
the amount of time you take to beat someone is not a GOOD representation of how good you are. Beating someone using 2 hatch hydra every game in 9-10 minutes doesn't show skill, just your ability to cheese.

Lol. I got a PM from the original guy calling me a dumbass. Responded with hearts <3333333333333

Hey, how about you get off his dick. Im C+ so I can assume that I would easy CM so you just keep ranting. Congrats on your life "faggot". Find a new word for attempting to degrade me. I am not trying to act tough as you seem to think. Seems like its your time of the month though, go take a chill pill and come back. KK?
