Okay so today I achieved D+ for the first time. I've been playing a lot more than usual lately (well I played like 2 games per week until recently -_-) and I've been honing my BOs and it's really paid off. I guess I'm somehing like 7-3 in my last 10 games and those few losses are to some kind of cheese (factory float on Destination, fuck you).

Even though I tried to fuck my stats up with switching to terran at one point (2-10 ;( ) I still managed to get to D+. Season goal completed, now lets see if 5 hatch hydra and 2 hatch muta can propel me to c- glory.

i made it to D+ last week after 1 month of playing at least once a day.
i promptly reset my account. i will not try to get C- until i can get to d+ without losing. my highest was 6-0..but then played during korean hours... check out any of XiaoZi's accounts. he goes like 50-0 before losing once...on multiple accounts. im not trying to do that. but you get the idea.

That can be quite harsh You can lose to lesser skilled opponents if they rush and you let your guard down for example, or players that just created new accounts who are in fact, better than D/D+.

i know that's kinda the point. most guys get d+ and lose it within 2-3 matches anyway. d+ is a great first goal. but really it is hardly a milestone worth cherishing cuz most of the people you beat to get there built a 10 forge vs T or something like that.

Well, some do D- hunting, or play D newbs, but the secret to IMPROVE, and get to a higher rank is play your fellow ranked players, meaning if your D play D players w/ (1500+) points, since its a fact that at least they know how to play, unlike some D players with (1500-) since there is a chance they got lucky, cheesed or something. So everytime I play D+ players, I try d+ players with 2300 and above since I know, that they aren't pushovers and maybe learn a thing or two from them, soon after, I will improve and get to C- (hopefully)

Man I need to play iccup more. I got to C- this season but didn't find the time to play anymore. Now that my Z is improving I'm really curious as to whether or not I can match C- as zerg.

Anyhow, Congrats! The feeling is awesome when you go up a rank
IMO There is actually a pretty big gap between D and D+. Actually there's pretty big gaps between all ranks D- C- or so because a lot of people there don't know proper builds and such. When you get into C or so everyone(almost) has proper game knowledge and then it becomes more of a factor of skill, mind games, APM, micro, macro, etc.
If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.
