You know, since we're already here and I didn't get to say this the first time around, It doesn't take years to get good at starcraft. People say that because it took them years. There were gosus (for their time) when starcraft was brand new, and today there's a billion resources to learn from that there weren't back then. Even without having RTS experience from somewhere else, a dedicated player could easily get to D+ in a few months time. If you don't think so because it took you years to get good, it's because you weren't seriously training to improve for years. Most people hit a plateau (whatever rank it is) and do not progress beyond that because they play the same way they have been playing.

People who were good years ago consider D+ pretty shitty and not good though. It would take a year or 2 to go from D to B+ I bet (if that D ever got to B+)
I'm sure that girl has a lot of extra cash from winning if she just buys 5k computers out of her pocket.
