a few days ago

it's been over a year of watching progamers and reading guides and stuff, but the whole time i'd been playing dota.

so yah now i'm actually playing star~ and man is it fun! i'm 5-6 i think won three games in a row today wooott

it's so interesting the stuff i learn every time play. like the other day i lost two in a row cuz i decided that if im not gonna be cross position against zerg then i should bunker rush. both times it worked.. but then i got backstabbed by zerglings lol. all cuz i didnt block ramp with two scvs.

i ono man i definitely gotta thank stylish as well as other fpvod as some of the little tricks help so much.

thx guys and this is fun! play with me~

You will be really happy with yourself until you go on a 8 game losing streak only to win a single game before losing another 5..... good luck.

I just started what I hope will be my most serious/best attempt at a run on D+ so far.

I'm 0-4 atm.

The only game I've lost so far was a PvZ on medusa against a former B- Zerg. What a ho :/...I can't believe they haven't gotten at least to like C ranks or something. So yeah, don't be discouraged if you lose games. Check your matchlist - they're probably higher ranks :/

well it's not like i just picked up the game lol i guess it was a gradual assimilation of all the vods ive been watching and just playing little bits here and there.

yahhh my account is d_so i feel so invincible playing with D level players haha. against P i strong FD and against Z i go 1 rax command into 4 rax and tanks and stuff depending on when i scout his natural hatch. i really only have two strats lol maybe a third if you include two port wraith against T, though im looking forward to learning some more complex deviations.

Dude...I've been playing iccup on and off for like nine months, and I've never won more than five games in a row.

Even now, I only win against bad people who can't even properly utilize timings and who make really really BAD strategy choices...like I don't win against people who know build orders...

I got C- last season. This season I have over 100 games played. I'm still not D+ T_T. The competition is ridiculous, or maybe I'm just having bad luck, but every single loss I have is to someone who's C- or higher in previous seasons, with tons of C, C+ and even some B- players. I also played against a B+ very recently. I'm starting to not care at all when I lose which may or may not be a good thing.

well honestly i think D level is really easy to play cuz you dont have to worry about crazy variations to build orders and stuff. every zerg ive played so far has gone 12 hatch and every protoss 2 gate power goons. plus, all the games ive won have been on python and i havent had to worry about cross positions once. so it's definitely a lot of luck

How high have you been?
Or is this your first season?
iccup is fun. ^^

Wanna 2v2?
The ladder for that is great.
Easy to find games.

It's just like old times.
Though, it's starcraft, not dota.
I have evenings free.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.
