In my opinion only some of the best people are playing right now. Most of the "scrubs" weren't waiting around and camping for SC2 like the people who are playing the first couple days of beta. Your chances of getting some high diamond players are a lot higher in the first couple days of beta. So keep your head down and barrel through the lower leagues. When you are done, look up and laugh at the people at the bottom of the hill

Because BNet2.0 drops you when you're winning in a placement match, you get placed in a shitty league, then get dropped against shitty players that youre beating.

I am very angry.

I get more frustrated because I got a higher standard at sc2 than sc. I couldn't do jack with the UI in sc but with sc2's easier environment, I expect more from me. :/

I also become irritated because of such outrageous rage like "Terrancraft" or "Cheese." They always have to say something when they lose...



LOL blame sc for your loss? how funny- perhpas you just didn't practice enough / don't have the drive?

sc2 should not be more frustrating.
1. it's easier
2. there are more new rts players making the skill level of the game goes way down.

Don't worry about placement. if worse comes to worse you can just tear it up on the ladder, and stomp the facebook / wow kids and then make it to diamond league and feel proud at being superior at an inferior game.

Sounds like this is the perfect time to mass game and get your stats up if you ask me

Were you good or bad at SC1?

Most likely it's tied into your perception of how good you are - you got into diamond and felt good about your SC2 ability. Now you lost, and it annoys you.

Perhaps you had either a less serious view of BW or were simply more aware of where you stood.



hmmm good question, I can't say I was good at BW, D+ on a good day but I usually take BW more seriously than SC2. Though since the beta is out my friends care more about SC2 than BW so when I start to underperform in SC2 I guess they can get under my skin at times since we are quite competitive amongst ourselves.


I was trying to make you feel good! Besides, I only got gold instead of plat/diamond... :C

so in conclusion:
No mules, no collosi, no PFs, just LOVE!

Actually OP, I think the majority of the games last night were populated with the more hardcore players of the community. Standards were certainly much much higher last night, I myself was put in bronze too. And I was battling it out with other Bronze players who had like 100+ APM last night.

Guess I'll have to work my way up again.

I feel a lot like this too, although I never passed D- on BW (lol), because I only picked it up when SCII beta was down.
I was very happy how well I improved in SCII, I am able to get myself up to rank 1 in a division fairly quickly, despite my new arrival into starcraft.
I also noticed how many Zerg players their are, and me being a zerg player, it sucks. ZvZ is widely known to be one of the worst match ups in starcraft right now. The only thing that keeps me on Zerg is the thought that there will be a major patch before release fixing things around, nothing like the one given to us, that was a complete joke, as I was expecting a SERIOUS overhaul of the game. I'm no IdrA at zerg, but I feel like not only is the balance frustrating, it's the current state of the game, so just stick it out, take the time to learn mechanics and not so much unit specific gameplay, as I still feel a patch with some big balance changes is still to come.

/rant I guess.

broodwar is 10x more frustrating then sc2. Having to put 200+ apm into a game and absolutely full effort into it AND LOSING is so frustrating. Also when you lose in broodwar you know its YOUR fault. In sc2 you can blame it on bullshit and imbalance or lack of development in the metagame. Of course this could be opposite for certain people, but still BW more frustrating

So you come here and whine coz you lost all you'r placement matchs. It's not because you played BW that you need to get auto diamond. 7pool can be scouted as anything else. If you lost most you'r placement games maybe some time in lower divisions will help you learn how to scout and defend against cheese.
Immortal or no Immortal, that is the question ! Someone give me a hamlet skull !

its frustrating because the "standard" way to play changes all the time, so you're never sure of the flow of the game

I don't find this more frustrating than in BW, cause in BW there's no placement matches at all and you always start at the bottom ;P

But yeah, I was genuinely annoyed when after last patch in phase 1 I went 2:3 in placement and got thrown into Bronze ~_~
I hope after release competition tightens up and leagues sort out themselves somehow, so being placed outside of Diamond wouldn't feel insulting as it is now.


how do you start at the bottom when there is no bottom????

God broodwar is so frustrating haha, I am a C+ player in BW, SC2 just flows so much better to me, never any unit delay like on ICCup, I love this GAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! MBS + Worker Rally makes this game alone so much more non-repetitive as well.

Its frustrating right now because it seems like everyone is just cheesing there way through placement matches. In my 5 I was ling rushed and zealot rushed, both all in. I think it was like a 9 pool, and just a 5 gate all in zealot rush. In phase one I can count on one hand the number of times someone tried crap like that, now in 1 day I have seen it in 2/5 matches. Its pretty bad at the moment but as people get more games under their belt I am sure it will stabilize.

only reason why BW is way way more fustrating is that worker rally point doesn't work... and SC2 is fustrating in some ways like units dying too fast unlike BW but it is way way better..
