Yep. After 173 games and with a 34% record I've advanced beyond the rank that you start at.
I don't know how much I've actually improved, but now I have a cool plus next to the D next to my name so it's all good. At least until I play a few more games and go back to D.

Wow, sounds like you tried pretty hard haha. Congrats! Now for C-, go for the yellow!(gold is much too hard )
|
amazing mad props to you, wish i had the balls to play this much through losses
|
|
nice job on brute forcing the point system
|
I reached C+ but then i played another game when i had to go, 5 pooled, didnt kill him and i left now im back to C.
Honestly!

you might wanna realise that without practise nothing is achieved, I had a friend once, from an old private server back in 2000 or was it 2001 i dont remember. He was like 240-800, people were like "haha nice win ratio" etc. He made a new account after a while and went 149-2.
|
dude, keep trying. youll keep improving. i wish you the best.
|
gj I also just made D+ recently after alot of work. I know how ya feel.

By the way does it crash for anyone else when trying to get on iccup on window mode?
Says 'memory cant be "read"'
|

Good job! Wow must've been taken a long time
|
For your first season really playing, that's not bad at all. The first season I played I couldn't break D, and I hovered around 1700.
|
|
don't get discouraged if you fall back to D! I'm basically jumping around 1800-2200 and i got discouraged lol dont give up!
|
keep trying

Thank you for that excellent retort, full of quality and top notch contribution. This blog is better because of it, and my you continue such actions in the future!
Was just a joke, ranking up is always a good feeling.

|
lol good for you.
I've been doing Biomech and invented cheese at D level to procrastinate my essay - 11-8 so far :p
(Biomech sucks )
|
keep up the good work
|
you can't NOT improve after 173 games so don't worry about that.
good job man
|
I saw the diary of Boxer and it says that Win Ratio does not matter, what matters is your Discs.
|
Congrats! Keep Up the Good Work
|
good job, congrats! the step from d+ to c- is actually way easier, so if you keep on playing I think you will reach it without a problem in the end of the season.
|
YAY FOR D+
that's above passing grade ^^
now for that C...

We're D- players. If D+ players are rated 1/4, we're .1/4. We have such a great skill gap between D+ players that we don't know how to proceed. We're told that we should follow a sort of starcraft darwinism in that the fittest and most dedicated users of BW will succeed and prevail in snaking their way slowly up the hypothetical ladder through long hours of practicing build orders and studying replays. What we're trying to say here is that we're stumbling blindly in the dark and occasionally we bump into it... but we don't stumble into it nearly enough for it to be satisfying. We're lost. We want to compete, not with Flash or some A+ player but with people who we are on equal footing with. Believe it or not, us 'noobs' don't have wet dreams of winning some crazy cracked up Korean trophy with our name on it. We're not trying to rush anything. All we want is our own place to begin, and we don't want a computer opponent to be our begining. We don't want the random broodwar oponent on US east or west where hacking is prevalant and unreasonably high APM players pop out of nowhere to destroy you. What we want is a supportive foundation of people like us, a rank of our own, a letter to our name and a rank we can work towards. We don't want this through mechanic and mindless training of the mind and fingers, but through games with our piers and equals. There is no doubt in my head that if we were to play eachother, real human players, that we would be so much more motivated to continue play. Most of all, we would have fun and not have to wait so long for us to be able to grasp onto the ladder for elites. There's so many of us that the user base for ICCup would expand exponentially if we were able to find eachother in its ranking system and new innovative players that have tricks of their own may pop out and not someone who has spent their last few months trying to understand what goes on in the mind of a Korean pro gamer when they try to make his build theirs'.
We're tired of losing 50 games in a row. We just want to play eachother. We don't have to do it in ICCup. I'm trying to prove to some of you that playing humans at your skill level should be acceptable no matter where you are, and a noob league would be great to do this in, but there are none to any noob's knowledge because he's a noob and to him there are no leagues like ICCup.

I don't get it. I have been playing starcraft since like the second day of the most recent ladder on iccup. (I dabbled in single player and against friends when it first came out - and in fact bought starcraft before I had a computer) And I see a thread like this almost everyday both here AND on the iccup forum. Now, personally I have just played 100+ games and Im around 1500+, I consider myself a somewhat median D player now, but I dont expect everyone to play that much. But, HOW THE FUCK is a thread like this started and "amen brother"-ed every single day and you guys can't just come together in a channel on iccup or hamachi or Bnet or something.
If you really want to play people of your skill level STOP MAKING THESE THREADS AND FIND THEM.
edit : talking about the last posts, obviously, not the OP.
