Even if your macro isn't really good for nowadays standarts i like how you play  maybe give me more than 5 days of practice before just saying my macro is no good for today's standards? trust me my macro will be much much better in a few more days of practice. | ||

I will be able to get B rank on this ladder...... | ||

Your micro and macro are nothing special, and your apm is not going to suddenly shoot up from 150 to 250 after a few days. It's good that you have acknowledged that iCCup is harder than you thought from before, but you are still rather ignorant and it's obvious that you still have not lost your arrogance, and what you've been showing here is just feigned humility. You are still overrating yourself. | ||

or... you can simply run into the brick wall known as blue-ranked koreans. | ||

All I said was that within another week or two I'll be blue ranked and playing games against them, I didn't realize how long it would take me to get back into shape. and yes my APM definitely will go from 150 to 250 as i practice more. I've already played a few games today with 225 apm, my hands are getting faster. | ||

Your records also show that you are unable to take games to the late game. The only thing that people have to do to win against you is play safe. Your micro and macro are nothing special, and your apm is not going to suddenly shoot up from 150 to 250 after a few days. It's good that you have acknowledged that iCCup is harder than you thought from before, but you are still rather ignorant and it's obvious that you still have not lost your arrogance, and what you've been showing here is just feigned humility. You are still overrating yourself. Mostly truth right here. You're doing rushy builds that if people defended you'd be over run by macro. 2 gating on python can get you pretty far even if you can't micro it very well. In any rep you've posted there's no real mirco just 1a2a3a. And most of your opponents you beat arent good, can't deal with early pressure, or/and have inflated stats so don't take them too to heart. Macro suddenly does not drastically improve over a few days. Unless you mean from d- level to being able to do it properly. In your case I guess it could. gl hf | ||

Please figure this out. i can tell by the way im playing (like about 50% good as i used to) that it is indeed a lot about me getting back into shape. The competition has improved a lot yah, but I am not playing very good right now. my macro once practiced again is NOT bad at all. I'm playing like CRAP right now and yet I'm C ranked 41-20 in 4 days. I do not think it will take me "2 months to get to C+" and whatever else you guys are saying.... I think some of these comments are way off. | ||
