Just a bottom tip (seeing as im not at the top lolol bad joke >.<) the ranking system is in order to match you up against players on your own skill level, so unless you DESPERATLY want to rach B to A level of play what rank your at is irrelevant, cus your going to have as hard a time to win anyways if you've been D+ for a year that's great, you have a massive pool of opponents to play against.

Koll has only 9 posts? I wonder if the reactions on this thread has scared him away from TL. Someone should convince him to participate more on this community and, perhaps, livestream some matches for us .

The basic miscommunication, in the old part of the thread, is in the way we communicate "amount played" to each other. OP and most people measure amount played in units of time (years, months), and that is wrong. That would be like measuring distance travelled by time ("The school is ten minutes away."--acceptable. My house is one minute long."--less ok.), which is a good estimate only when the two people speaking have the same speed in mind. In this thread, two people have very different speeds (rate of playing starcraft) in mind, so their estimates of amount played is very different.

Actually his post is still stupid. I'm happy for him after his WCG performance and he is indeed gifted for this game but this:

Although i didn't believe him at first, my main problem was that he was pretty much bragging and bm. But well he is like 14... had to be expected.

I mean if Nony / Idra / etc ... would have made the same post i would have answered in the same way.
Getting to D+ in one year is perfectly normal and it is stupid to come here ( when you have less then 10 posts ) just to say "omg you terrible i got to B ".

Why is it braging or "bm" if he is telling the truth.... maybe its little imature but he was like 12-13 years then .

He just compared OP with himself which is extremly bad compared to him and you are still got the nerve talking bad about kolll this after acting like a complete douchebag at that time ... shhh pls

Well, in a fantasy world where it was easy to measure total games played, and common to talk in that unit, then Kolll would have gotten less flak. Say JMave, the OP, played 7 games a week, while Koll plays 10 games per day, or 70 per week. Then after a year JMave would say he played about 360 games in a year, while Kolll would reply that he played 1800 games in half a year. Then him saying that he reached B-, while working ten times harder, would be less surprising.

But, yeah, in reality, his just stating of the level he reached with no background and saying it's "very bad" to reach D+ after a year was either stupid, or more likely, showed immaturity or unfamiliarity with the forum. In his first post that's what he showed, but in the end it was ok, because he showed everyone.

DRAMMAAAAA from the past. Seriously guys, Kolll played a huge amount to get this good this fast. If anyone played the amount he played they would have gotten a similar result. People are still trapped in the mentality that you've got to have some kind of unwritten gift to be able to be good at this game, and feel that they must obviously not have it when they play 5 games a day and struggle to make C-

yknow, cause it's easier than saying - "maybe if I want to get good, I should play more."

Lol this thread wins so much. Reminds me of when Leg said in 2004 that Stork should just go play Pokemon instead because he was below average for a korean.

Not long at all, a bit longer than kolll, but then again I have been playing BGH for 2-3 years before so yea.
I wasn't nearly as dedicated as kolll when I started, and I doubt I ever will be.
He just doesn't give a fuck about losing and keeps practicing and practicing and practicing.
That's what seperates him from others.
I'm quite sure everybody can get C+/B- level if he does ~300 games per ICC season and keeps playing preferably against a shitload of Koreans like he did.
However this is frustrating as FUCK and thus deserves mad props IMO.

Infernal stream more often plz!!! And why does mTw only keep 9 players? Always wondered that, anyway, I dont think kolll was bragging at all so shut up people. He was just stating a fact, he is good and only played the game for a short amount of time.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.
