Thats it - Season 7 is over and Season 8 is about to begin.
While I'm sitting at work and have nothing to do I want to use my time to review my season - what happened - what did I learn.
First of all I want to mention that the rank you achive is worth as much as the effort you put in. Huh? You don't get that? Ok - I really saw a lot of people this season dodging or abusing against friends.
I heard lots of excuses. Koreans lag, Koreans only cheese... maybe Koreans are just better because they don't mind losing. Because they are better because they don't bitch after losing to a non-standard build. Maybe Koreans don't waste time with discing.
If anyone who achieved a high rank with abusing is reading this. Are you proud of what you achieved? Are you proud having a cool-looking rank with a good-looking record without putting effort and learning like - nothing - in 3 month? Well, have fun then!
I for myself can't deny I'm a player that looks after stats. Yes - that was before this season. I finally realized that I don't need to have a good record to be a good player. I wanted to learn. I played on the Korean maps as much as possible (when they were MOTW) and played as many Koreans as possible and picked the ones with good stats.
Examples:
TvP vs Kor-FORCE (55-0 Korean on Medusa aka: InteR.sSam)
TvT vs In_Fighter (39-0 Korean on Medusa / he was an abuser though and got what he deserved - a loss)
And various other games against really good players. I mostly "dodged" foreigners because I just wanted to play against Koreans, but I obviously played foreigners because in the evening Korean players are rare. (Note: Koreans don't lag 90% of the time, 10% are laggy games for me and I will just say "sorry" and leave)
I played about ~300 games with my main account this season: mTw.NarutO achieving at best a B rank. I'm proud. I was stuck at the C+/B- level for like .. 150-180 game? I was frustrated from time to time, but I gained lots of respect. For example ToT)ret( said that he was amazed that I didn't give up. I'm proud of myself, because of that. I don't have a good record, in fact I've a negative one, but who cares.
I was B - with playing lots of Koreans - not giving up. I want to thank all the players who helped me to get better and supported me - in skype - on battle.net and in real life.

This is a replay pack from my 6000th post, which means not too old against some really good players. I'm Terran btw!

I respect players a lot who get B/B+ during Korean hours playing Koreans. There is a lot of people that get B-/B playing when Koreans are sleeping or playing maps they know that Koreans don't play and they have good stats but they aren't even good players. Good job. You are truly someone who deserves your B rank

Could you please make a rep pack and host it somewhere?  I'm also like you too, I usually play korean hours (2 hours earlier from writing this post) and I dont dodge anyone, tho I used to play bw 3 years ago but started again 4 weeks ago achieving C- rank as a z only player. managed to go D+ as toss too (yeah!) lol. But ye I think I did well for a 4 week comeback to get C- after all this time I didnt play. grats on ur B rank hope seeing some gosu replays from you

I made a pack for my 6000th post, but the download limit is exceeded =(! I formatted my computer not too long ago so I'm missing replays. But I usually had to play against cannonrush or some metal builds T_T! I'm sorry-___-;;
Maybe ask someone to reupload my replay pack  !

Actually, I just downloaded it so it didn't reach the download limit since you uploaded it to megaupload.

Thanks for posting the link, I'll add it to the OP!

good job silv, i was kinda confused looking at your record being in the negative, since i know your better than me, i got my B- easy this season, but its a combination of late season and playing motws that i like but they aren't really courage maps and not many koreans would join, i didnt dodge anyone on purpose but thats the way things worked out, so yeah some peoples ranks are worth much more than others.
|
Finally, this is like the first 'real' B- ive seen on this site.

I greatly respect a rank that's achieved by playing almost all koreans, without dodging, on popular maps that koreans play, and authenticated by demonstrating that you can hold your own at that rank. Congratulations!

Congrats bro! someday Ill reach the B's!

Haha .. well yeah I was B for a few games..  ! I ended up B- 6992 .. I count that as B

It is indeed the first important step to really getting better: Understanding, that good stats are useless and that stats just do not matter. They just dont...
|
Hehe exactly as besiger said i got basicly same stats as him for B- with like 44-6 but i played only tau cross and basicly no koreans at all i just created and ppl joined but that was like last 10 days or so from this season.
Then I needed 40 more games to get to B with ~50% win ratio playing B- and alot of B rank players so i hit B with 64-28 but on this acc i played like 5-10 korean players.
In early/midd season i got C+ with 68-52 playing alot of koreans so ye koreans are way better than everyone else even the koreans with "bad" stats. Some ppl got even A- with good stats dodgin all koreans but they will lose for sure to Naruto with 50% wins B-/B rank

I want to play on nonkorean times for once -_-

congrats man! and yeah im still trying to get over the record thing but i gotta do it someday ;P spring break is coming and i plan to get dominated but hopefully learn somethings ;D

This is so true. Even C+ koreans are good. Can't imagine hanging at B/B+ against them :p
but this is totally the right attitude
