Just a bit of advice to D ranked players and below PAY ATTENTION TO THE RANKS! If you join a game and you see the other team has C, C- and C+ players and your team is all D- maybe you should try hosting your own game... I am guilty of playing with better players and skype parties myself but at least when I do it I try to pick my worst race and/or do a silly stupid strategy so the match is fair... Maybe its just me but winning EVERY SINGLE GAME gets boring after awhile... On the other hand there is NOTHING more satisfying than beating a team of players who are good AND know each other AND are probably communicating verbally instead of using the chat system in game... I guess what Im saying is know what you are getting yourself into... And if it looks like you will lose for sure you might wanna reconsider staying in the game...

Yours truly LUCKY_NOOB ^_._^

P.S. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT LADDER HERE! JUST CASUAL BGH AND SIMILAR NOOB FRIENDLY GAMES...

As a D class, when I make a game 1v1 with the name "D", I expect someone who is "D" level to join not a fucking smurf C hiding behind shady 1000/1000. So how about the likes of you stop smurfing our games?

if you're joining a 2v2 and the home team is peruvian and it's a ladder map, and you have to download the map, you can be sure it's a hacked map
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

yeah it's a problem. I know it can be very frustrating if you're just looking for opponents of your skill range and you meet a couple of a lot better players in a row. I recommend looking for pratice partners here in the practice partner thread or ingame. But that doesnt help with laddering.

Some people look down upon it, but i actually don't think it's a bad idea to check the account on ICCup before playing. Some people use it to dodge and farm easy wins, but i think it makes sense for D ranks to sort some opponents out beforehand. But you shouldn't make a bad habit of it and start to only look for easy wins as it won't help you improve in the long run

Not looking for easy win. Just looking for games that I have an actual chance of winning. Not playing the best you have or not will end up the same.

I have spoken with countless SC2 players who join BW to see what was back in the day and they get completely destroyed and hate the game afterwards... Im speaking truths here...

And here is a lie to show you the difference: BisuDagger is in SW 7 The Force Awakens!
^_._^

I believe everybody should experience both games... BW requires more dedication and dealing with simple frustrations at every single point from buying the game, thought updating, fixing or dealing with visual bug issues all the way thought ports and lag! And new player should be warned and at least know what they are dealing with...

That's no lie! How'd you find out.? Did someone show you the official limited release movie poster?

Haha, how's that? I know that for me personally, and I know others have experienced this too, that brood war will often go through the download of a map even if I already have it. So I don't think that's a good indicator of if a map is "hacked" or not.

As for the original topic: If people couldn't figure out the advice you gave on their own, I don't think this thread is going to help them. Did you really think this thread was worth writing?

Woah, he did it because of passion, Starcraft was the game that pushed his company into the big leagues.

And notice he bought EVERYONE in the arena pizza. That's genuine love and passion there.

Mike Morhaim and genuine in one sentence.. doesn't work for me :D
but it's interesting if he did go there. Perhaps it was juist personal, but perhaps Blizzard is saying "we still know you guys are here" in a subtle way. Well one can dream. Most likely it means nothing.

Yeah, he held a short speech on the last day of bw proleague (?) and he said something along the lines of "Everything good has to end someday and make way for the new child.". Kim Carrier started crying during that speech.

not sure if trolling or?... If he had passion for the game he wouldn't have forced KeSPA BW out of misery just to promote SC2 in korea. He, or more like his company, is just bandwagoning, now that SC2 numbers have been declining and BW numbers have been increasing. Whatever serves best for business.

I also expect all the pizzas to be worth less money than the toilet paper for one week in the chef floor of blizzard's headquarters.

Lol did I play you yesterday...? --> EleGant[AoV]

The plain fact is, to get to a higher rank, whether that's C or A, you have to play against lower ranks first. That is literally all your rank means- that you beat all the players below said rank often enough to be promoted. I do resent being moaned at an insulted by angry D-rankers when I jump on to enjoy a game of BW after being totally inactive for months, and they expect me to already have a C+ and respond by insulting me and ranting about my noobhunting ways. It's not my problem, or fault.

Honestly, you also forget that we've all been there. We have all been D, being bashed upon and having a hard time. And even now when we get to our rank it will happen to us still, to varying degrees of course. I know that when I get to C+, there are plenty of B- and above guys who will play me and probably win. And rightly so! How on earth else are they meant to get a game of Starcraft, and get to their rank??

Take it easy, and watch the replay.

I don't think he's in a position where he's going to need to bandwagon onto anything. He's in town for business, so he checks out esports related events for the games his company made, while sharing some awesome pizza.
