"Not good at BW"

I was A+ on PGTour, you pompous buffoon. That might not be Korean pro level but it's very far from 'not good'.

everytime a meet an old school player B- on iccup he tell me he was A+ Pgtour :p ,there are legends that Androide made A+ with every race on pgtour.so how hard was to get A+ on pgtour in your opinion ?i started late playing BW


not sure about a+, but getting A- in few seasons was pretty easy..
remember once, like top ~30 players from Poland had A-/A

It all depends which year we are talking about, as at the beginning there were so many pros on the ladder that it was impossible for a non-kor to get a decent rank (unless abusing). This situations has been changing quickly and we've quickly seen high level foreigners that got to top of ranking by playing each other and avoiding koreans.

true. Fish ranks are just more meaningful today when you talk about skill in top foreigners. ICCup doesn't provide the right environment or ladder system for the top.

Fish ranks are also getting less and less relevant with latest point systems.

for what it's worth there was one season on PGTour that for some reason we got all higher rank, I was A+ too and so were a bunch of other top foreigners, I don't remember why everybody had gotten that high, I think the season had just lasted longer or something

On the other hand I remember there being periods during which if a foreign flag player reached A+ it was to be heavily discussed in the ``Who is Who'' threads. Surely it was a bit special back then.

(FA was also unquestionably an elite BW player lol)

When people say they were A+ on PGTour, it always sounds like they were only A+ during that season where everyone was A+ on PGTour.

Did you know about that season prior to it being mentioned in this thread? It follows that those that made a career of either Starcrafts is a self-selecting group from the top and not randomly distributed from the entire ladder. Why are you popping in here to denigrate people's credentials? Stop it.

It was around the time that there was that stupid hatchery-cancel game crash bug right? Not the weakest season ever but not the strongest indeed.

Still, nobody who was bad at BW got to A+.

There's gonna be a lot of old Brood War players coming back to Brood War because of SC:Remastered. There'll be a lot of new players too...

SC: Remastered will be a "new" game for everyone, including the former Brood War players. How is it difficult to understand people want to come back to the game to create content for it lol. The Brood War elitists should be happy as fuck more attention will be brought to Brood War, especially within the "foreign" community.

Will people be making content for SC: Remastered as a "cash grab?" LOL. Facepalms, yes and no - content creators make content to earn a living...so yes obviously there will be some people that suddenly start playing and will make a few videos, blogs, or whatever and then disappear. How is that different from any other fuckin new game that comes out lol

I think a lot of people have to realize SC: Remastered is essentially going to be treated as a "new" game despite many players here and elsewhere may be playing Brood War actively since 1998.

I also think you'll easily be able to differentiate between the genuine Brood War enthusiasts like Day[9], incontrol, hell even myself, from the random youtuber that pops up and makes one SC: Remastered video in his fake ass youtube broadcaster voice and then disappears xD

yeah obviously all the A+ were pretty good players, prob not compared to the A+ koreans in iccup but among foreigners they had all respectable skill level

find it hilarious when the railbirds call top foreigners bad because they could not compete with top koreans

It just motivates foreigners to get better, also way more exciting to watch some games between foreigners and korean top players. We could see foreigners practicing more for sure.
