Pucca, perhaps I can shed some light on the 'I don't want to play vs Random' phenomenum
I always ask people to pick a race because I feel like I'm still learning the game. Same reason I don't cheese and I hate playing against people who go 2port wraith. My priority is to first get my standard zvp and zvt up to the point where I can play d/d+.
I want to know what build I'm doing and focus on execution, playing vs random mostly means playing from behind, or starting from an opening you would never do normally, which means I'm going against what limited practice I actually manage. So if you won't pick a race, i kick you and someone else joins in <2mins.
i understand the issue of random I've accepted that long before. I just added to my argument as it another level of annoyance but I deal with that.
I'm still confused about the constant booting on Fish though.

I doubt they boot you because you speak English. Koreans play each other with no lag on low latency, if they can't stand playing some random with high latency then they'll just boot you. There's plenty of other Koreans to play. That's all, nothing personal.

Then what am I missing? If they type their "gg" in korean in the lobby and I see gg right back why do they boot me immediately I doubt I'll ever understand

@ Sayle
I feel so stupid I really should have clarified better in OP let me further explain the points.
1) decent means people would not just quittjust a result the game was FS. As well as people having AH on as I don't want to play against hackers.
2) Not so much as a rant but rather my inability to understand why there is this unspoken rule to not play random player. I prefer to play 10 match ups rather than just 3 going in. It also rewards "legit" random players who learn every matchup a slight advantage in the early game but TBH is a E ranker gonna be able utilize that anytime soon as I difficulty to even keep my money below like 500 lol.
3) communication like being able to write "pp" or "pause please" for people to understand. Like I said above as well I cannot copy and paste Korean without defaulting my whole system language to Korean. If I do not and copy and paste I get ?"s instead Unfortuantely. As for sGs the small amount of time I was in there group issues would arise as at times I'd run into RP's and I'm a Random player problems arises which I don't want further discuss here.
4) It was more of a joke then anything. Dying in 5 minutes is retarded from some cheesy all-in but I get past it. My main point if it does not take as long to find a match I would not mind defending all-ins.
Before random I played a lot of Terran. I'm sure you know TvPnisnquite the common match-up due RP's. I almost never got the chance to play TvT because I was Terran. Constantly playing TvP or the occanionl TvZ. Random I simply have a higher frequency of TvT's and other match-ups.
Slow improvement is fine with me. 8-43 does not bother me one bit. Stuck in the Silver League of sc2 for two years now. Do I understand the game at this point after casting for a whole year I hope so. Executing and understanding game sense is completely different every game and every mp.
My point if this thread / blog is trying to understand these seemingly unspoken rules of BW. I know they have always been there I just can't understand why play all players justify them.
@nagi
That quote is just what I believe what goes on in the Koreans mind not mine. Again my poor ability to be clear in my writing unfortantely. Also fun fact if I was to ask "why" knowing my luck and experience it would be followed with a "has left the game!"
2) stop bitching about it than, there are other alternitives (i.e dice or something)
3) people do understand simpel stuff like PP, gogo. i never had any real trouble communicating on a simpel basis with koreans,

People don't want to play versus randoms because frankly it's stupid. Playing against randoms limits you to a few builds.

I think your first 2 points actually answer themselves
1) Spending 5 to 10 minutes getting into a decent lobby
2) Not getting banned / booted because I'm a random player
The whole advantage of not having an automated match making system for me is that I can choose what to play. If I can spend an extra 5 minutes to guarantee the MU and skill level I want, that's definitely helping me improve faster than the alternative. And having a random race opponent pretty much destroys that entire advantage.
It also gives you an unfair advantage(not to mention forcing your opponent into a very limited pool of builds), and I still don't understand how random race players don't feel like dirty scumbags. If you're not playing with honor, you might as well just be a protoss player. Unless you're randoming specifically hoping for the 1/3 chance of autowin 1a2a3aProtossEZgg in which case I can respect a man leaving his fate to the gods.

I see a zerg icon.
See: ZvP Winrates.
I guess this is just the subtle way of saying zerg is even easier than protoss. :p

What I like to do when I can't get games on iCCup is to just hop on East and play some BGH games.

Does anybody miss Pucca. His lovely grammatically flawed blog entries and his pointless overcomplicated overlay *improvements*?
Just curious.
