They do not necessarily smurf due to malice, smurfing is natural on iccup due to ladder resets. Even A+ guys have to fight their way through the D ladder next season. They should really fix it some way.

They could do what they did on their DotA servers. Those who were in Blue ranks last season, start new season with 2000 points and those who were in Green ranks, start new season with 3000 points (not sure is it 2000/3000 or 3000/4000, but you get my point).

what u guys dont realize is obviously im going to spike at 250+

its just u can macro 95% efficiently with 50apm and u dont need to spam

I never said the problem was your APM. 150 APM is enough for B, if you're a smart player. I'm just saying B+ on PGT is not the same as iCCup. Ret, when he was doing really well at SC:BW, had trouble breaking into A- and staying there. It might be in part due to a different point system, but it's also due to the game getting a lot more demanding at all levels.

Me too. PvT on HBR was imba at low levels where the Terran didn't have the micro to do a strong macro build. Without a ramp, 10-15 gate delayed the expansion waaaaay too long. Dropships were rape tho.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

i think it's important to point the fact that C+ today, is easily a B- 6 months ago, ur apm doesn't mean much at D level, i sincerely believe that 200apm is a must when it comes to defiler in z v t, not speaking of muta micro. z v p is really the only match up which at a descent level (C+) having 175 apm is ok (standard macro oriented game)

Yea HBR was brutal for noobie terrans. You try to secure your 3rd and 4th, place your tanks along the ridges, and then BOOM!
Doom recall in your main. FUUUUUUUUU GG
Fighting Spirit is much friendlier for me. Fortress is very fun too.

Btw, are there any maps that are pretty beginner friendly other than FS? (and please not python)
I'm talking about some of the newer maps like Empire of the Sun or Grand Line that looks pretty fun, but I haven't played on it nor do I see people host it.

Sorry for bumping this thread (I know mods frown upon it, but hear me out!).

So I really, really wanted to play BW. Loved the game and still do and never stopped watching BW VODs and commentaries. However, sadly my ISP refused to help me out with my port problem, and since my family has a business package, the router was locked and the only way to fix it was to pay 150+ euro. Just to open up the ports, and even then I wasn't sure if it would be enough.

Well the good news is that after calling my ISP three times, they finally decided to open up my ports and I'll finally be able to play BW properly! Before it was rare that I would be able to join a game, and when I could, it would usually lag a lot. So far it's working for me though, and since I haven't seen any of the people who wrote in this thread online, I hope it's okay that I bump it. I'm still looking for people to play against (either noobs like me or experienced players who can help me in the right direction) and of course any advice you can give me in general would be very much appreciated! I play Terran now by the way, and joined sGs, so you can add sGsDerpDog on iCCup.

Hope to cya all soon! <3

I have the same problem as you. People claiming to be noobs who are actually Khan B-teamers.

Read liquipedia
Study replays

That's pretty much all you can do apart from play.

I thought you had quit BW and returned to SC2 actually...
I'm always skeptical on these stuffs....
Glad to hear you can play BW properly now
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

Concerning the APM discussion: I managed to hit B- with 130-150 APM ( I was zerg), this was around the same time SC2Beta came out. I don't know how I'd do now though
