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


Fixed

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.


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).


Should be pretty easy to get 10-0 (europe wc3) and US servers even better scores for average gamer.

Of course you can beat every bad Zerg by 2-gating every game (on LT?). But it stops working at one point, it's like a giant brick wall. And people playing LT and the likes are generally pretty bad compared to ones playing Destination and such. A lot of sick Koreans play the new maps.

This.
There isn't even many top foreigners at B or above right now, maybe...15-20 not counting the Chinese, so saying you'll get B in a few days is ridiculous.
Beating D/D+ players on LT in 6 minute games isn't impressive, when you get C- and start playing every game vs Koreans on the Courage maps (Destination, Medusa, Colosseum II) then I'll be impressed. Even if you don't win steadily first them at first, I'll be impressed because thats how you're going to really get good again instead of staying in your little oldschool bubble.

Uh what a opponents you had, best I saw was 10-2 so far and rest was just D+ or perhaps C- tops. You need more competition, ditch LT and play newer maps.

#1 thing you need to change (besides your attitude, but I digress...) is the maps you play on. Like chava said, try the Courage maps and get yourself some real perspective. You don't even have to play Koreans!

if you don't get to B- or higher in a few days, what are you going to say?

the level difference jumps quite significantly as you go up

Yeh.. I think also, depending on what time of day you play, it makes a HUGE difference.. play at korean times at D+ and they are actually quite decent, enough to block cheese rushes and such normally.. I have school during the day so I only get to play at night and 1 out of every 3 games is vs koreans and they give me some good practice.

Like most people, I'll be surprised if saddles gets B- within January.

This topic.. haha..

Saddles was decent when he was active, not top foreigner or anything. I don't have much doubt that he's going to go like 70-70 and stick to C or w/e.

this is so wrong especially for someone who plays 3v3 rt/4v4 rt (unless you're talking about team games and not solo)

Bump. Saddles just reset, again.
in a few days Ill be B ranked....

Apparently 70 days is a few days to Saddles. Has he even held C+ for longer than 3 games at this point? -_-

Three days later he posted:
I do believe that in a few weeks of shaking the rust off I will be able to proceed to B or B+.

Well, in 10 weeks you reached C. Nice.
