I never stood by my opinions because I was plat. I am masters now and I don't think that I have the same opinions about the game, so I am glad I didn't speak too loudly about them. You shouldn't theorycraft until you are at the very least diamond imo... | ||

I make units and attack with them and win half the time. I'd say focus on that before you expect to be able to contribute to strategic discussions. | ||

As I promoted/played against higher league players I really understood how I didn't know anything about the game at those higher levels. For example I'm high diamond, finally playing a couple of master league players, and I'm realizing how gimmicky my play is and how unrefined the builds are. As douchey as some high league players may seem when they're condescending, they're still speaking from experience. Regardless, your overall point is still good: ideas about the game should be judged on the merit of the idea, not who said it. EDIT: Also something I always tell myself when I feel the pressure to try and promote: "Remember you bought this game to have fun, not to gloat about your e-penis" | ||

I'm currently in European silver, who could easily compete on European platinum ladder and I am let down mostly by my mechanics and being distracted in games from split second decision making what? so you're saying you're not good enough to be in gold or plantinum because your mechanics suck. how do you think you can compete in the plantinum ladder then? this thread makes no sense | ||

If you actually bet money on it, I'd have a reason to go to gold by the end of tonight. But I have no motivation to ladder at the moment, I'm not doing it just to get aproval by idiots with no understanding of the game. @TheSubtle: Post ignored because you live in canada and play on the AM server and made comments about the EU server and acted like it was the same as the AM one, which proves you didn't read my OP. @Mage: I'M NOT SAYING MY MECHANICS ARE STOPPING ME FROM BEING IN PLATINUM! OR MY DECISION MAKING! THEY ARE STOPPING ME FROM PLAYING AT HIGHER THAN PLATINUM! THE ONLY THING STOPPING ME FROM BEING IN PLATINUM LEAGUE AT THE FUCKING MOMENT IS THAT I CBA TO LADDER FOR IT @Kuni: Close positions searing crater. 2gate into 4gate. Scouted them last. There isn't even time to make a quarter of a cycle of units or a fifth of a spine crawler in the rush distance and the natural/main is impossible to defend with spines on that map anyway. I don't get what you're trying to say. I did read the op. Are you refering to the EU > NA thing? I know that, but the skill discrepancy still isn't big enough for EU Silver to mean something in the NA server. Otherwise I have no idea what you're trying to say. | ||

@Blizzard: yes...i'm in silver for a reason...because I'm not laddering to get out of it. My W/L against platinums is over 50%. @TheSubtle: But I'm not a EU silver player....I'm a EU platinum player who will gladly jump from silver into that league officially if you give me a reason to right now. | ||

@emecee No...Overall the higher league is better than the lower league. The players vary for both leagues. | ||

I think extra weight is being placed on it by higher level players, especially players who played Brood War, because there are so many people who are new to StarCraft (and thus in lower leagues) that speak as if what they think is fact, when they are blatantly wrong. These people don't understand that they are wrong because they have convinced themselves that they must be good because they are good at Halo, or WoW, or Call of Duty or whatever game they come from. Also, your ideas are generally formed from your personal experiences, which for most people is largely made up by the games you have played, and when you are playing in lower leagues your experiences are vs. people who are not playing optimally, and you yourself aren't either (or even close to it), so any ideas that come from your personal experiences playing the game are a bit skewed and often times incorrect. That being said, lower league players are not all idiots and some people do have legitimate thoughts, and although they cannot prove them 100% correct from their own playing experiences, they can use external sources like streams, replays, etc, to base their ideas off of and come up with something sensible, but I find this to be pretty rare. P.S. EU server may be better in the sense that more professional players come from EU then NA, but overall I have heard from many people that they are basically the same... Whatever league you are in on one server you will probably be in on the other, maybe with just a hundred points or so different. I have not played on the EU server myself but I have many friends who do and they are all about the same rank (mid masters) as they are on NA. | ||

To be perfectly honest, I'm 15 but I have fully formed philosophies and political opinions and if you can think of any variety of competition that could genuinely reflect intelligence, I'd be glad to engage you in it. I'm a philosophical vegan, and the most important things to me is music and poetry and any other forms of expressive art. But why would you make it personal? Why would you talk about age on a starcraft post? | ||
