I completely agree on your post.

I don't think your comparison between IcCup ranks is true and its way too biased, but I'd say that low level Diamond players (500 points) are C to C+

With B- to B+ being the ones from 501 to 1200 and all above being A-

Couldn't disagree more. His post was a while ago, it's even more in the opposite direction now. I was a D+ BW player and I'm 1250 diamond right now, and tend to rape a lot of people at my level.

We should get an inflation rate conversion chart or something. Then again, being able to mass ladder games to get a high rating is still much different from being good and understanding the game. Personally I don't really understand why there is a bonus pool besides just to make people feel good about advancing their score like they're leveling up or something. But it doesn't mean you're getting better, your number just rises with inflation. It would feel a lot better to "level up" if I knew it was due to my hard work at getting better. Of course I could get that if I played more than I do and gained a few hundred points but there aren't enough hours in the day

B / A- is the top level in the NA Ladder. The very top. I recognize these players, they were incapable of hitting A+ on iccup. Day[9] is an A zerg. Not an A+ zerg, he says it himself. In NA at least the top diamond players are B to A-. IdrA being the only actual A+ player in that top 100 of NA.

Except most of those ranks was from before Korean progamers started to play on Iccup en masse and dodging the few that did play there.

I think this whole thread is silly. Diamond is no different from any other league in how it functions. You just have 5 leagues and each holds 20% of so, I imagine.

i think it's more like this:
Diamond/ICCUP
250=D-
500=D
750=D+
1000=C-
1250=C
1500=C+
1750=B-
2000=B
2250=B+
2500=A-
2750=A
3000=A+

so every 3k points, the difference between a D- and D will be 250, 6k points, will be 500 ecc...
pratically make the maximum point divided by 12 and you are done...
