Yes some people love getting stomped by people who are 3 ranks above them, but there are some people who don't like getting stomped by people who are 3 ranks above them. Blaming 'smurfs' can be used as a scapegoat, but smurfing is definitely something that occurs on iccup a lot. Also, not everyone is on iccup to learn by being stomped on, some people are there hoping for a equally skilled opponent with antihack and lan latency.
Spread the love guys.


Yes, games between equally skilled opponents are the most fun and rewarding.

Also, about matchlists, my older matchlist got me flamed simply for being a D+ player. This thread is rampant with people in a bad mood, and there would be bloody murder if they saw my offrace account, which ihve been playing on for the past week or two.

Dude if you lose to noobs and pros all the same, why do your complaints about losing to pros matter? Because they are better than you? Well, look at this way, so are those D rank players who beat you but stayed at D.

How the fuck are you going to get better without ever challenging yourself to play stronger players? You want to play people who are just as good as you, great, have fun being mediocre at this game and getting beaten by the occasional C- and bitching in a blog about it.
Peace~

but I can feel your pain.

What a nice bandwagon of hate we have here! You guys are maybe forgeting that Starcraft is a VERY frustrating game which sometimes causes people to write stuff like this guy's blog.
OP gg for playing ~150 games, but you should strive to improve more. Watch replays and sharpen up your build order timings and you'll be cruising through the C ranks in no time. Also, I recommend not to exagerate things next time you make a blog here. Keep improving!

I tried to rush to 3-3 battlecruisers in a TvsP on destination. Turns out my opponent was some Korean who reached A a few seasons back. It might have fared worse than your proxy hatch ;-).

I agree with Catch]22, but only when it concerns real D/D- players. How can you even begin to improve as a D/D- player against a B/B+ player? You simple cant. Theres no point in-game where you can try and improve cause you getting your face raped by someone whos probably reset his 57-30 stat cause it wasnt "pretty". Its a little different for example a D+ player who has his mechanics falling into place, he knows some BO's, and generally knows what hes doing vs a better player. The D+ player can reflect upon his game wheras D- player who is still learning how to place his first rax on time cant do that cause he has barely any idea how to react to anything. Theres my rant. I believe the people who think real smurfing (D- vs C/B ect) is ok, say so cause they like giving themselves a pat on the back, and like easy games.

Hmm...well I sort of have similar stats to Catch]22's except a bit lower as I'm not the highest D+ player on the block.

But I WILL say that I think it's always good to play against C-/C/C+, etc. players because it's SOOO helpful to understand why you lost (no sarcasm there). It doesn't matter if you don't have a chance. The REASON you have no chance is because there is something that you are doing WRONG.

So what do you do? Learn from it! You're a D+ player, not a D- shrub. Pick up yourself after your loss and keep going. You're not facing ClouD (OH GOD, I had such a privilege playing against him, even though it was 6 minutes. xD ) every since game, so be thankful that at least you have a competitive ladder that teaches you how to play better as a Starcraft player.

There's a reason why they're B- and you're D+. Watch those replays and discovery why.

Smurfs use to piss me off also. Then i relaized im the smartest person in the world. As soon as someone enters game. If i see they are D with exactly 1000 points. Ban!!! If not....I say "sec mouse"

then i alt tab to iccup.com and search there name. If they are D+ with a 25-2 record or something stat resetter. Ban!!!

If they are B previous season.....Ban!!!

Spending 10 seconds before every game doing this has virtually eliminated 99% of smurfs for me. So worth it. I get nice quality games against people my own skill level....maybe slightly higher. I know the feeling of assuming ur playing a smurf and going into the game thinking your going to lose and tilting. This has cleared my mind and allowed me to actually have fun. Give it a try.

That is so lame and stupid, constantly playing only noobs that you can beat and thus never actually progressing.
