bnet0.2 ladder has 2 major flaws which makes it impossible to compare it to anything else

a) if you received ur diamond promotion to late you lose bonuspool and maybe even "real" points
b) when player A gets 10 points(without bonuspool) player B loses only 8-9, which generates points in every game someone plays

D+ is actually quite good. In a crowd like TL a lot of people like to take a shit on anyone who isn't EXTREMELY good, but the fact of the matter is D+ ICCUP is quite difficult to obtain for the average person.


I agree, I don't understand why everyone on TL seems to act like they are all A+ ICCUP players when we all know that maybe only 10-15% actually are or were.


Do you know how hard it was to reach A? More like 1%.


There are only 26 on this forum I can think of, out of what, half a million members? So .00005%; not even close to 1%.


List the 26. Or are you making up numbers?


he said "that he can think of", and it sounds pretty accurate to me

why act like that...

the truth is majority of people who make topics about balance wouldnt even make D- in bw, but blizzards twisted ladder system made kids to think that they are gods when they get to diamond and have 800 ELO, which in fact in sc1 is equivalent to newbs who play BGH because regular 1v1 is too hard(which was fine, they knew they suck and wouldnt dare to open topic about balance). People need a reality check and start think how to improve their game before they decide to make 100th whiny topic about imba with their own patch notes.

No one seems to remember how few people in the world were able to get to A+.


For the people claiming that there are actually a handful of A+ iCCup foreigners, I suggest you take a look at this:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=106047

Notice that IdrA is the ONLY foreigner who managed to get A+, and these ratings themselves may even be inflated due to a large amount of ladder dodging.

So instead of "10-15% of Teamliquid members are A+," it should instead be "less than 0.0001%"

The annoying thing is if you start giving advice in stream [even if someone asks for it], they start to point at you and say how arrogant you are and what a know it all you are.

If the streamer makes a mistake and you comment on it, people get upset because they think that you're arrogant for doing that. Guys, streamers can make mistakes too.

I've been finding that any display of expertise or skill results in people claiming you're elitist and arrogant. Which is not true. I try to be as manner as possible when I give advice. Just because someone gives advice doesn't mean that they think "Oh I'm an A+ iccup". It just means that they might have encountered the same problem and will explain it.

If I have good sound advice, I would like to share it. I don't see what's wrong with it. I don't know why giving advice has turned from being a good thing into a bad thing all the sudden. All I get now is bm.

In a few weeks/months; the new "top" will be 3k+ ladder points thanks to bonus pool inflation; just like it was 1k+ 1 month ago. So the only comparison to chess here is that they both use points?

I think it's easier to compare with wc3 levels.

It's will be nice to know at what levels in Frozen throne a sc2 league corresponds.

Which, in fact, doesnt change the failures of the system. Its much like the achievement - gathering: Yay, i got so and so many points, they get sucked away at reset, and then you can hunt again.

Its quite a motivating system for casuals like me who can score some points and feel pretty bad-ass when you hit 800 diamond (cough)...
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.
