1. This season is harder.
2. This season is still in its early stages which means B koreans are A level.
3. I don't care about the difference in skill between you and Carlo, but I can assure you that he is not immortal and is able to lose to A level koreans just like any other top foreigner.
4. The record is no evaluation of skill.
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

We'll see. I know he can lose to A level koreans, I just don't think he should have run into 49 A level koreans before B rank ICC. That'd take sick game selection.

Some people in here have to realize a certain thing. Most of the time a good record doesn't mean the player is good. Also the players who have lots of games .. like B 250-300 or something like that have a lot of experience and are often REALLY REALLY good.

I disagree. If they're breaking even over that many games then they've reached their limit. Going 34-34 is enough to gain you a rank on motw at B so by that many games they're losing more than they're winning. The bad record at B means they are a B rank player. Nothing to be ashamed of obv. Whereas if they're B with 70-30 then they're obviously still winning more than they're losing and therefore B probably isn't their limit. They are B atm but if they kept playing until their stats were like 250-300 they'd be nearer A-.

Obviously we're talking small sample sizes and unless everyone kept playing until they couldn't gain any more points then there will always be a margin of error but the record does count for something. It's inaccurate because of dodging, racepicking and different hours but not meaningless. The B 250-300 is not potentially a B+ player. The B 70-30 might be.

kwark to end all this, no 1 cares what u did LAST season, this season is brutal even C+ is kinda hard, its obviously cloud on that account, who else can get B this early season from that country,
your whole arguement as i said before is absuluty ridiculous, judging him becuase of his stats is outrageous, there is a reason why ladder a-b is ALWAYS empty cuz only koreans have reached that rank, and maybe a few dozen forigners if that

Aside from the (pointless) speculation about relative skill levels, it could be guessed that the player on that account is training and not just playing to rank up. That is, trying new strategies, ironing out new builds, focusing on specific game aspects. For example, I generally don't play hard to win rank until the end of the season when pretty much everyone is where they belong. Earlier in the season I goof around a lot, do weird builds, off race, etc - simply because if i'm trying to get my best rank on ICCup I feel there's no point fighting A level players in D ranks. I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees it this way, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who plays ICCup with different mindsets altogether.

But seriously, the stats thing can be put to rest. In Spirit a lot of players had insane records but checking their opponents revealed that they were playing consistently vs people who had <50% win rates. And I've seen people with <50% win rates beat the guys who have 95% win rates. Stats just do not reflect skill on ICCup, period, and they never will. They can be completely, totally misleading.

To end it all we should just ask Cloud which is what I said quite a few posts ago. Simply repeating an argument you made earlier isn't a "to end all this" thing.

Could be Cloud (lol not easy to read correctly) if he's offracing or trying very funny strategies, otherwhise I also agree he should have better records, maybe bot 50-3 but if he played Koreans only something like 50-20 should be reasonable.He changed account and flag, that means he didn't have italian flag before, so he could also not be italian.

Fenix - who cares? he's a cheesy player that abused a spam hack vs artosis in TSL which makes any win he gets up for speculation whether he hacked or not in the game.


I'm like 99% positive he did to to iNcontroL also.

I want to fuck Soulkey with a Zelderan.

And I suppose that white-ra is a noob because he has 62 losses at B+ when you had 40, right Kwark? ..

He's at 100-60 and been at B for like 80 games....and we all know white-ra is definitely way better than a B

You're so stupid it's painful.

i agree with him, i'm stupid too ?
There are way more good toss than terran among foreigners. Let's make a list ?
JF, Nony, Dreiven, Localhost ( i don't care if he hacked, he still did well in WGC russia ), White Ra, Infernal, Cloud, Draco, Rondo, Pomi, Yaiba, Misterzzz, Gohan, G5, Fenix.

Already 15 and i'm quite sure that i forget some.

Let's make a list

JF - Strong overall
NonY - strong overall
Dreiven - good pvz, good pvp, weak pvt having that weak mu already relegates him out of the top 5 and top 10.
White-Ra - inconsistant in results and sometimes plays terribly.
Localhost - you have a few recent games of his from wcg russia and you put him at the top automatically?
Infernal - kind of inactive?
ClouD - strong overall
Draco - inactive, really sloppy play at times
Rondo - inactive?
Pomi - wtf? pomi played terrible in the russian wcg, he just played better than the others.
Yayba - sucks pvt
Mistrzzz - who cares?
Gohan - inactive
G5 - strong play overall if you look at WCG
Fenix - who cares? he's a cheesy player that abused a spam hack vs artosis in TSL which makes any win he gets up for speculation whether he hacked or not in the game.


Let's make another list:
Idra: so called gosu who is pro but still loss vs players like Nony, Dinot or even the " inconsistant" ( your words ) White Ra.
Nyoken: never been that great ( maybe somewhat inactive, i don't really know )
Androide: somewhat inactive and suck lately ( i mean he used to be wayyyyyyyy better ).
A2: same
EX: same
Brat_Ok: Good TvP, "ok" TvZ
Strelok: ok but still get completly destroyed by a "sloppy" ( your words ) Draco
Yosh: ok

and lol @ your comments on Draco and White Ra. If you call them sloppy, i guess that all the foreign T are complete garbage. They also have way more achievments than the Terrans that you named ( except maybe Androide because of his #2 at WCG ).
And about Pomi and Localhost they aren't maybe that great but they still played better than half of your Terran list during the last WCG Russia.

There are more Toss players among foreigners at high level, i'm sorry.

Edit: Also it is funny because you said "who cares" about Misterzzz then you said that Fenix is just an hacker but you forgot to say that G5 used a disc hack on purpose vs Misterzzz and Dimaga during TSL. ( "overall strong" was your comment about G5 ). Quite funny

G5 is playing phenomenal now? We're talking about only now/recently. Go watch Draco's WCG games and come back and say it's not sloppy.

And the comment about Idra losing to Nony, there's not many top korean amateurs that could hold their own against nony. His play is immaculate.

Idra lost to Dinot and White-Ra months ago, you're a complete fool if you think that Idra isn't a top foreigner. Of course he'll drop games against some players but you also fail to realize he had immense pressure to perform at WCG by his coaches/team mates. You obviously don't understand how much that can affect a person.

btw white-ra is very inconsistant, he always pulls in decent results but there are times when he plays amazingly and other times he plays terribly.

I also don't get why people expect Idra to come back and be a fucking all star after a few months in korea. If he still drops series vs foreigners 6 months from now you can start bashing him. Until then shut the hell up.

the amount of training idra is gettin down there, its obvious people expect to see a drastic change in his skill, hes still losing to the same people he was before he went to korea

Let's make a little list.

Foreigner's play very differently from Koreans.
Idra has immense pressure on him for this WCG.

Did you watch the TvZ Idra won in GOM? That's a huge improvement.

people expect it cause idra is super bm, super arrogant, and a dick, and people enjoy him doing badly

what the fuck else do you expect? it has nothing to do with his skill at all. he has no people skills and 80% of bw hates him.

it's like the idiots who insist mistrzzz sucks even though he's obviously at the least pretty good, simply because mistrzz is a total dumbass idiot
