Anyway congrats on the B-, I tried to make the push from C to B- on the last night but ended up with like ~5800 points when the server went down due to people (mostly god damn koreans) disconnecting on me -_- Are you kidding me? There is a definite difference between koreans and foreigners at the D to C+ ranks at least, and I would expect the same on other levels. | ||

I am sure there are some others, but these are the latest ones I've seen. If your thinking that this only happens to people who post brag threads about their iCCup ranks, you're wrong, because I have seen numerous threads where a certain player is mentioned and others dig through their match list to check for the above criteria. EDIT: Oh yes, and to post about this past season, I thought it was extremely easy. One of the easiest seasons I've played yet. It could be due to any number of reasons, but compared to prior seasons playing at similar times, I felt as though this season was one of the easier ones. | ||

It wasn't easier... more good people playing (many progamers played this season, probably more than ever) = higher skill level but also the fact that many people playing will help eachother reaching higher ranks (until you lose more than you gain from your rank). So naturally, there was a lot of 'bad' C+/B- players in comparison with earlier seasons. Also, Naruto, you didn't strike me as the humble and hardworking type ret described you as after yelling 'lucky noob' several times when we played. | ||

I am simply basing this off of the fact that last season in the last week, I still found C+ really hard and getting B- was very hard; as a matter of fact, I didn't get B- last season. This season, the last week was extremely easy and getting B- wasn't difficult at all. | ||

I love your perspective. I try to follow it myself (at much lower ranks) but it is definetly frustrating. Iccup rank should not be synonymous with skill  . | ||

Ye when a player does the same strategy all the time it just fucking pisses me off. Also watch over the replay where my tank bugged and got killed , but whatever. If you wanna brag about your win, congratz! Also probably you should play 90% Koreans and get crushed and being not frustrated. Can happen to anyone. Usually I just leave with gg or ragequit when I'm pissed. But you were never angry and ragequitted or something right? | ||

But for Protoss and Zerg I'd say Koreans on B are the level of a B+/A- (without abuse) foreigner. At least thats what I've experienced - on the second hand I'm TRYING(!) to face as many Koreans as possible but since I usually work at Korean hours its just impossible for me to judge overall. | ||

But you were never angry and ragequitted or something right? I can understand everyone feeling frustrated at times, I do it too... but I've never taken it out on my opponent unlike you. I also don't like how you're implying that I should feel 'proud' about beating you one game, as if you were some kind of progamer or even a top foreigner. The only reason I remembered the game was because you were acting like a jerk. You also came off as a jerk when you started whining at me for asking for a game when I was 1 rank above you - it was a bit uncalled for since I had already been looking for games in the B channel for minutes. Earlier in the season, I was almost soley playing koreans and getting bashed hard too. The only times I ever dodge is when infamous hackers or badmannered people like you ask me for games. | ||
