Well I've been struggling to get to C- this season, and I have been feeling a little discouraged because of it. But after some random kid on iCCup told me my rank is apperently C+ or better, my confidence boosted alot. Pathetic, I know. T_T http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=9652   | ||

Because you don't have to play the majority of your games vs Koreans your rank should be brought down by 2, and trust me a European C+ is a free-win compared to a Korean C+ + Show Spoiler + that's what you get for making a blog to try and boast about someone saying you're C+ or better | ||

Out of all the countries in the world, one country has a much higher skill level, so you're supposed to ignore every other country than korea? You cant say that someone who's ranked C+ is C- couse koreans at C- are as good as regular C+'s. Thats just silly. | ||

I've played about 500 games on iccup, reached B- quite a few times, my friend has played about 1000 games and has reached B-/B. Both him and i agree that a European C+ IS NOT THE SAME as a Korean C+ | ||

The rank is what it is, its controlled by all the players, so if you reach c+, you are c+. | ||

Yea that happens on blogs unfortunately. But you did ask for people's opinions on your replay. Everyone on the internet has ego insecurities and if you start being pretentious they'll jump at you. I think in theoretical terms, the rank you achieve is the rank at which you stabilize, randomly playing players across iCCup. In this ideal world, you'd be playing a fair number of Koreans, and losing / winning just enough to gain zero points in the long run. Do you think you could achieve C+ level in this theoretical sense? The current state of iCCup is an approximation to this ideal state, so there's going to be discrepancies. Also, you might be C+ in one matchup but D+ in another. My ZvT far surpasses my ZvZ, for example. Your current iCCup rank is a good indicator of your ideal rank, but it's subject to opinion because of flaws in iCCup. | ||

other guy is losing (2 gated cross positions on othello, ^^) and keeps asking best rank then our norse friend said he's C- max rank, trying for C, and the kid laughs and is like "No, no, you are C+ or better" as if his losing record at D rank entitles him to fairly gauge other players' skill | ||

Tall Poppy Syndrome + Show Spoiler + Tall Poppy Syndrome (TPS) is a pejorative term used in Australia, and New Zealand to describe what is seen as a levelling social attitude. Someone is said to be a target of tall poppy syndrome when his or her assumption of a higher economic, social, or political position is criticised as being presumptuous, attention seeking, or without merit. Alternatively, it is seen as a societal phenomenon in which people of genuine merit are criticised or resented because their talents or achievements elevate them above or distinguish them from their peers. | ||

If the ranks are so fucking important to someone that he feels the need to fetch the pitchforks and torches when someone claims to have C+/B rank, some serious introspection is needed... People constantly pull shit with ranks such as inflate them or project them. And in this case, the OP was begging for the harassment. But I do agree people could at least tone it down a notch overall. | ||

If you can't see that I pity your empty soul Varying interpretations don't necessarily indicate anything, trolling around on these forums looking for people to harass. You didn't have to reach to find this one... it really stood out hehe And if all you can take pride in is your iCCup rank the people trolling may not give a crap about their iccup rank... the two are unrelated, and you feel threatened by some random guy on the internet wanting to share what brigthened up his day In most cases that's not what it is, I truly feel sorry for you. Are you going to call these people names or feel sorry for them? Choose one or the other... you can't have it both ways. I know now that I simply shouldn't bother to post anything here. Sounds reasonable to me. Go along with your day now, nothing to see here. Sorry, emorage'd. Apparently. | ||

Anyways, dont worry so much of what the haters think, but play more games, and you will soon find your ICCUP rank, and then people can debate on wether that is your "real" rank or not. Sometimes though I tend to play fairly good games, but other times, I swear that if I saw my own replay, and didnt know it was me, I would bet I was like d- or something, and other times, I might guess a C.. Dont quite know where im going with this, but liquibition starts in 5, so I killed a few mins atleast | ||

Reread the OP before trolling. All he said was that some guy he beat thought he was good and that made him feel good. It is no different than when you play your friends and destroy them and they think your a pro. Did he ever say he was C+? Did he ever say he could beat JD in a BO5? Nope, nowhere. All he was doing was sharing a good experience. Please, just read before posting. | ||

If you choose to ignore the foolishness of the OP then you will not be able to get my analogy. If you want to continue to disagree with me that the OP was 'asking for it' then pm me. Also I am not trolling. Although, some of the people who overdid it did actually troll. | ||
