Honestly if you look at His performance in DRIT and past DRTL, he is legit to play. Even in his games vs me in the captains league, my impression was (and has always been) D+/C- . When i play vs a C rank player its very different. If Marine is not allowed to play, then i suggest the 10 Elo rank players in this league should not play either. IMO The marine should be allowed to play, or else it would be ridicoulous, not dropping the real top players. There is rank, but also archievements in individual and league tournaments. Rank alone means nothing. What about people that don' t ladder then? This league is not anymore only D/D-/D+ rank players. So i suggest just going with the flow and accepting that, as many people are doing. Pebble, just because there are potential cheaters doesn't mean that we should abolish all the rules. We all know that a few players here could probably reach C if they just tried, and possibly some of them have, on smurfs, but have chosen to keep it a secret. But since we don't have anything more than a suspicion, we can't just kick out players simply for being successful. Well, maybe we should do that, remove players like prophecy, simply because of his results, but that's never been done before in the history of this league, so it's something that would have to be discussed. TheMarine though, is a crystal clear case. We have chosen to allow players who just dinged C-, if they struggle to keep it. If you can reach C though, you're beyond that and can't say you're D+/C- anymore. Anyway, the most successful player isn't necessarily the best, as we all have different playing styles. Some styles are more effective against lower level players, while some styles are more effective against higher level players, so the fact that TheMarine isn't the most successful player in the league, doesn't have to mean that he's not one of the best ladderers. When you ladder, you have to play against players that are C and above too, and I think his style would translate well against those opponents, compared with other protoss players in the league who have more abusive playing styles. | ||

Either I'm really bad at placing tanks in those holes or there are "only" 7-8 tank holes left in the current version of the map. Out of those only 2 were in reach of something of significance. One of them feels fairly nasty though. However, I don't think it's really game-breaking... | ||

On the subject of "trying": At least half the players in this league can reach C, or higher, if they "tried" for a given value of "trying." The current contracted iCCup population does distort laddering, but people can at least attain that skill level. Why haven't we? Because we almost all invariably have other priorities that keep us in the state of "casual" BW player. Arb has his League of Legends and his alcohol, Nagisama has his Counterstrike, other people have their studies or their jobs. No one in this league is truly "trying" for the maximum amount of effort possible. And that's fine. I'm sure we all love BW, but I doubt any of us can afford to play it for over 10 hours a day. ...Hell most people don't even play BW for 10 hours in a week. In case people suspect I've hit some high rank on a smurf and am trying to hide it: I heard someone on iCCup staff also suspected this and conducted IP checks. I'm not sure whether to be flattered or offended, but I heard of nothing further from that line of investigation, probably because no such event ever occurred. | ||

With all these different versions of maps like 815, wind and cloud, pamir, etc, it'd be nice for an one to be uploaded so we don't have any problems concern wrong versions of maps being used when the time actually comes to play games.
