i logged onto west and saw a guy spamming "1v1 any??". i say "1v1 python?" and he says no. turns out he's a FMP player. anyway, this other guy "cakeman[stfu]" says that he'll 1v1 me.

basically the game is super sloppy. tvp on python, me T9 him P12. i scout only 1 pylon on his base so i suspect something proxy so i get a fast ebay but i still get reaver dropped because i'm stupid. after a few skirmishes here and there he makes a bad attack into my sieged crap and then proceeds to lose 2 nexus at his min only and 3 main. and shortly after he gg's out. now i know this was a SUPER crappy game (even for my low standards), but i somehow managed to win thanks to my hidden expo at 5.

the reason why i made this blog is because when i asked him what iccup rank he was in the channel afterwards, and he says B-. i really really don't believe him, but when i asked for his iccup account he said it was ig.voltron. i'm checking his stats and he's currently C, and indeed in seasons 9 and 10 he was B-.

now i can see from his iccup page that he's a zerg user. my question is would the average B- user lose to a D level player with an offrace? also keep in mind that in the game lobby i asked him what race he plays with and he said z/p.

rep for those who want to lol at how bad i am

i suppose it could happen, maybe he had an offday or just dident take the game seriously. Also he might have been a bit cooky and not trying to scout your hidden expo.

Keep in mind that if he is a Z player, then he will have next to no practice in PvT. He may have been better had it been TvZ or PvZ.

off race definently possible
main race i doubt it;;

A d toss beating a b- terran maybe but a b- toss losing to a d terran not a chance.

My friend's about a c+ zerg and i rarely if ever loss to his toss and im only about a d+ terran.

I'm not an expert on ICCUP rankings, but that would seem really strange. Maybe he was lucky the previous seasons?

yeah I'm pretty sure cakeman is legitimatly B- using Zerg. And yeah it's also quite common for players offraces to be really bad. Some people just never play with them at all, not even for fun.

It's possible that he wasn't taking the game seriously. Every so often, we play a game just to mess around. That's probably why he wanted to play a D player.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

do you think a B- zerg player would have 105 apm and lose to a D terran even with an offrace?

Only explanation is that your T V P is B- level obviously.

How can a B- zerg be only D level in PvT? I mean there are D terrans that are D+ in PvT.

Cakeman is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. He's a Kiwi who consistantly dodges me because after our first showmatch for www.starcraft.co.nz he doesn't want to lose again.
Maybe he once got B-, but he hasn't in the last year I've known him. C is nearer his level imo.

if someone asks me this horribly retarded question about my rank achivement i always answer with smth like 'd-' or mb 'a-'.
and guess what he just did ? he just lied to you!
i know its hard to believe but the replay's a proof.

Why would a B- play on west anyway, maybe he just gave you a fake account. Either that or he just cheesed all the way to B- , or is really rough right now. Honestly, this iccup rank stuff is bs. A noob can easily do 5 pool every game and probably get a decent iccup rank, I've known complete noobs who got to C just from cheesing. I've had some people tell me some of my matchups are almost C level, while I've had other people tell me I am like D level. Yeah it gives a rough skill level, but it's kinda flawed. Pretty sure either he isn't the B- he says, or you just got really lucky maybe (or you're just really gosu).
