ok so I started out 4-6.

note that these were my first 10 games in the last few YEARS..... and i started reading comments about how people thought I would never get past C ROFL!!!!

after those 10 games i started to get the hang of things again, and im IMPROVING every game i play....

I'm 14-2 in my last 16 games, these D+ and c- players are honestly no challenge................ most of my games with them are under 6-7 mins because they are so bad with basic micro/macro skills.

keep in mind this is just my FIRST NIGHT back, my hands still feel like rocks compared to what they used to feel like, I'm sure I wont regain everything until at least a few weeks of playing... but when you easily get to C- on my first night playing in 3 years has the competition really improved all that much OUTSIDE of Korea as you guys say?

in a few days Ill be B ranked....

You probably won't get past C+/B- nowadays.
The skill level has improved drastically, and you have no knowledge of today's builds.
Your going to be mainly getting by with your mechanics.

Not really, the general consensus from the last thread is that you'll breeze into c-/c and meet some solid players and won’t get any higher

I must agree that the results you're showing are very impressive so far, your attitude not really.

It obviously did happen, check his ICC profile: http://www.iccup.com/gamingprofile/saddles.html

SaddleS, a few of us agreed that it would be very interesting to read your thoughts about the games you play. You are in a way a phenomenon, former solid player who is picking up the game after a very long break.

Reading a blog about your ICC adventures could possibly be very fun. (you can make a blog here on TL)

Gl man!

The early ranks are easy. The people saying you can't get past C are being silly. You should be able to reach atleast B- if even clowns like me can get C

Do you play at B-? These people who talk about B- like anyone can get it are ridiculous. B- is good for this season.
