Paying way too much attention to a X day old beta

I would say even end of beta ladder isn't too big a deal. It really depends how you play, and what diff things you try. There is gonna be a ton of cheese, things changing day to day / week to week, etc.

Give the game a year or two before even talking about top players. Yeah there will be tournies and $$ games even in beta/first months. But this game has 2 expansions coming out still. It's gonna be extremely variant even with a great company like blizzard. A single expansion can completely change how the game plays, now the fact there will be 2 plus new maps, balance changes... This game will be around for 10+ years. What matters at this point imo, is Games Played. People like Oversky (inreach) etc putting up insane hours into the game, those are the guys to watch out for not some people cheesing every game or abusing the latest imba things.

I'm really confused i played about 80 games, i think i win like 70-80% with an ELO aroundj 1400 and im silver.. I'm in division 14.. I started off some games having friends play with me, kinda affected my placement. I'm a solid C+ rank in iccup. I seriously think my division is really tough..

Whats with poker players acting like they are such big shit and so successful when they make a living off of gambling? I mean criticizing people for following their dreams instead of mooching off of society is just silly.

I'm not against poker as a job and I don't consider it morally wrong but acting like you are better than anybody because of that career choice is stupid.

The fact is that people do require some satisfaction/contribution to society from their work and I think thats who so many poker players are a mess.


What kind of a ridiculous generalization is that? You could have just said "Whats with Fayth..." since your post was targeted at him. I don't feel like people jumping at Fayth's neck for being upset is justified in any way. IdrA and Fayth are similar on many points and they both deserve the same criticism. People shouldn't take sides on who's more of a dick in the thread, they should just be dicks to each others in private if that's what they want. IdrA obviously gets a kick out of it since he has so many nut huggers on here it seems, so chances are he's going to be the one starting this shit.

As far as I can see, Fayth and IdrA both exceed the acceptable levels of pretentiousness, but Fayth at least has a couple cool millions to show for his talents. I think results show he's been more successful and clever being a self-made millionaire "following his dreams" than IdrA who has a coach to report to and fixed hours to work. I can't blame Fayth for not being able to ignore IdrA's needling when we take that into account.

But yes, the dick size measuring contest is juvenile. I don't see why you would ever bring society into the argument. It's a moot point. Some people's dreams might of just been being their own bosses and poker allowed that for them? Aren't you doing the same thing you criticize poker players of doing by saying this?


Man that was a really good reply. I was going to make one addressing that post but this one is A+.

Thanks for the compilation, I'd imagine it'd be hard to keep it updated constantly though :x

btw Idra, u better represent the US like fucking GUILE in street fighter. So few Americans or North Americans have dominated the pro scene in SC and WC3 . Your going to have to beat people like Moon.


Good luck lol

I don't think "Points" = "ELO Rating" or even close. I think your actual skill rating isn't shown anywhere, Blizzard only uses it behind the scenes to match opponents, determine league placement, etc.

Points here are like points in a sport - they represent your performance over this season in your division, they don't try or claim to measure true skill rating. There is even a game spam element to acquiring points, you'll notice in most divisions that as a player is higher ranked they tend towards having played more games. That's also why there are noob-friendly bonuses like "rested points". It you don't play for a while you accumulate these points which release to you as you win games. It's there to help players who don't play as much, or took an absence, to "catch up".

Every division in every league has a similar point spread, although the size of some divisions may affect the player's potential point gain. Basically, imo classifying the "top 200" based on the points in their division doesn't make much sense.

really shows how few good players are in the beta right now that 2 D/D- players I know personally are on the top 200 list O_O

I'd love to see some silver league reps or something considering that, lol

Not really... the beta levels the playing field.

he's #1 cuz he's talented (he does well at poker too) he's just fit to be good, he's very dedicated, he plays a lot and he's smart

so it has nothing to do with the game being more micro focused or him being a WC3 player, if he had played Brood War he'd prob just be the same
