If idra loses it'll only be because saddles played an abusive toss style anyway.
No I'm never serious.

Edit: By the way Saddles, good job getting to D+, but what you'll probably find is that the skill curve is pretty steep -_-

D-'s are awful, D's are noobs, D+'s are bad, C- is mediocre, and once you start getting above that people start getting good. If you really reach B- (and can hold it) I will be extremely impressed.

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)

I would really really love to read that and I am sure many others would too. Reading about how you observe the game now after years of inactivity and how you do as you climb the ranks would be definitely interesting. If you are in any way inclined to do something like this I can only encourage it.

No, you are being silly Purind. At the moment, most top foreigners are stuck at B-.

Exactly, you could get to D+ with a month or two of playing SC @ 15-20 games a week for sure. So to have been a high level before and coming back to it, that makes it much easier. I went back to wc3 after not playing since the year it was released (and even then I only ever played RT 3v3 and 4v4) and am finding the competition on Battle.net pretty weak when I am playing in-form (there are the odd 250+ APM gosu smurf accounts, though).

B/B- is really hard, I've gotten like B+/A- in previous seasons but I'm more or less stuck at B- now, and I lose it once in awhile too - playing korean hours might be the major cause of it though

i gotta go to sleep been up for 24 hours ... and i know my record sucks right now but If I woulda practiced a little before going on ICCUP it'd be a lot better than 18-8.... I went straight on Iccup and started playing after not even playing a newb for the last few years... so I consider my first ten games warmup games which I only won 4 of cuz I was playing so badly.

won 14 of the last 16 tho... and I'm still not playing at the level i expect from myself.. once im back into shape my record will be much better sry for being a n00b my first night back.

Out of those 14 wins, you played almost every game on Lost Temple (2.4 though).
That's a decent way to avoid modern maps and use outdated builds
Not trying to troll this one, I'm just saying there's a limit to how much you can judge about the game not changing, if you're only gonna play on really old maps.
Nevertheless, good first run after being away for so long (not knowing the quality of your opponents though).
Huge fan of JulyZerg, HonestTea and that guy Kim Taek Yong.
