Warning: Standard iCCup blog incoming.
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

seeing as you're from Norway turn that C+ into the rank you're struggling with so, C- ! 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
|
It's funny because I generally play at AM hours (read: Korean time).
In the meantime I'm just staring at that liquibition timer.... Getting closer now.
|
Someone said my offraces are at least B-, so that must be true.
|
It's funny because out of 34 games you've only played THREE Koreans.
+ Show Spoiler +I'm just gonna keep bringing ya down buddy!
|
Your probably D+/C- max buddy. Don't listen to anything else but your own rank.
|
So let me get this straight. 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.

Correction. Your own rank - 2. Because you don't play koreans. /sarcasm
|
Nah EFG it's pretty much true. Competition is alot harder during Korean hours. Also calm the fuck down people, jeez. (PS. it's only possible to have 1 account, ever). Also it's not about being Korean or not (thanks for pointing out how many I have played -.-), it's about facing people who play during Korean hours regularly. You're Australian yourself but you only play during Korean hours, so by your theory your rank should be 2 ranks lower. But in reality you might as well have been living in Korean and faced the same kind of competition. So if you hop on a plane you jump 2 ranks, good logic. (Not explaining myself very well here but w/e).

@ Epicfailguy
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+
|
Yeah I know that, but thats one out of a ton of different countries, and you cant use that one contry as a standard or whatever. The rank is what it is, its controlled by all the players, so if you reach c+, you are c+.
|
if ur C+ i eat my fist...
|
Summary: Don't stare blindly on ranks cuz it's just ranks. Ranks can give u a small pice of a big picture.
|
Yeah I'm not even gonna bother reading this anymore. Everyone just assumes I wanted to brag or something. Fuck off. Good day.

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.

I have never said it is.

loool this is the one of the funniest threads ever.

lol @ in game chat 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

Not just on blogs/internet.
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.

lol..........
for the record, C at korean hours is about as good as B european and American hours. Trust me on that...
|
I don't want to push up a bad thread but these claims are rediculous. Sure, most koreans I've played have been noticibly better than foreigners at the same rank, but you can't say they're "B" if you've never been B. Stop making shit up people. "For the record, C- koreans are A foreigners."
|
It's ridiculous how TL ppl are so zealous about Icc ranks. The moment someone says he is C+/B people go apeshit and start battering him down. 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...
|
when i was on d+ lvl my opponent, who 2gatet me (z)said he was a- , my rank would be b- or better....
... now why is so hard to reach "C" for me when i am B- ? xD
naj nvm, i am just happy because i just won against protoss in a standart game after beeing 0-30 vs Protoss ^^

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.

Retards. Noone was bragging. If you can't see that I pity your empty soul, trolling around on these forums looking for people to harass. And if all you can take pride in is your iCCup rank, and you feel threatened by some random guy on the internet wanting to share what brigthened up his day, I truly feel sorry for you. I know now that I simply shouldn't bother to post anything here. Go along with your day now, nothing to see here.
Sorry, emorage'd.
|
omg Im D+ now and 200 pts away from C- so that's like korean D-...
|
Some random guy I saw told me that I was A++ after I told him to secretly tell me so taht I wouldnt know. It boosted my confidence so much
|
Some dude asked me for my highest rank once, and I said C- and he was like "yeah..right" He didnt believe me, couse I played so good and this was during the korean times so im probably between B and A- average iccup rank.

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.

Why do people on TL feel the need to repeat the same post with slightly different words in every single topic...ugh, too much
Who cares when you play? Good luck on reaching C-!
|
my rank is currently around d+ c- level, but I bet if I just played enough, I would clearly be B+ ! 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
|
Finnish C = B- for rest of the world ! I think I can get A- rank this season ^^
|
It's funny because I never asked anyone about what my rank is. I don't need YOU to tell me, now shoo. Stop posting here.

God, why are people even arguing about what rank they are, even people in the same rank differ in skills due to their playing styles and whatnot. Who cares what other people think, if you think you're good, then you're good. No need to argue about this, i'd rather play another game than argue.

this turned into brag about my krn iccup ranking...
i honestly think it's better to brag about beating a specific person than ur ranking...

what am i not comprehending? you are struggling to get past c-, but some guy tells you that you are c+. it's easy to tell what rank you are by looking at where you are struggling at...what was the point of this blog? you need people to assure you that you are better than you actually are?
|
The point was a random person told him he was higher rank than he is and that made him feel good. Doesn't matter that it was like telling a girl her fat ass isn't really fat. It's still fat but it makes them feel good.

lol sooo much troll... you guys are crushing the poor kids soul

I can see how, having beaten sAviOr, you'd still be intimidated enough to leave before him.

No it's okay, it's just the way todays world is shaping people. You see, they have to feed off of the confidence of others to feel good about themselves. It's not their fault though. Also, for the 4th time; Nothing to see here, stop posting. Jeez.

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.
