I've finally hit D+!
[image loading]

http://www.iccup.com/gamingprofile/athos[ra].html
What makes my achievement different from any other noob? The amount of games it took me to get there.

After 150 games of struggling I've finally broken through the wall. A big reason why I suddenly got there is because 2 days ago I fixed my router so that I am now able to host games. Believe me, playing the map you want and getting the map of the week points make it much easier.


I still have a long way to go to improving my play. I'm still fucking terrible. But this seemingly impossibly high wall is broken, and I've realized that a lot of D+ people are just as bad as D players. :O

Also this is my 1000th post, yea!

Oh, I also want to thank Ret and LzGameR. Because of their streams I've been able to get a lot better

Congrates! I think you also mean 1000th post haha
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

Ah I remember when I 1st got to D+. My record was like 49-131 and I was literally only 1 win into D+ when I got there (it was at the end of the season). 2 Season's later I'm still stuck here lol.

Congrats! I just reset my D+ today, haha. Don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I was disappointed with my 13-10 record. But on the other hand, congratulations. I remember when I first hit D+.

Grats man, I got to D+ and didn't even really try to hit C-

I'm kinda torn between what race I wanna play now, because I used to play all 3 and sticking to just zerg seems impossible for me. Thinking of switching to Terran? :o

oh god were you that really long TvT?

i had (i think) a pretty big midgame advantage and then lost it being stupid, and you transitioned to the late game really really well!

i am so awful at TvT =/
