I finally gave up on waiting for my transition to the better computer and tested the ICCUP launcher on my old computer, and it worked. So a few days ago I started playing on ICCUP and joined my clan's team which is fairly active. I was expecting it to be like the most recent season of pgt, but maybe at a slightly higher level. Given that, I expected to get to C- after some time and effort, and be able to get C eventually if I worked at it.
My first day I went 3-3 which included stomping a few underwhelming terrans on python, and that seemed about normal. The following day I had an awful streak, like 2-8 or something, where I kept sabotaging myself or getting outplayed, or both. I wasn't really discriminating against under-ranked players, but I was still surprised by how much I was getting pwned while still at the D level. I started to panic that something was horribly wrong.
Fortunately I pulled things together the following days and brought myself to 17-17 at D+. All in all I'm satisfied with that and my pvp and pvz are improving. My pvt doesn't seem to improve because I either get totally schooled or totally school my opponent. I find it hard to find terrans who are 50-50 against me. Usually hey are worse than me, except good terrans suddenly experience a jump in skill and become better than me. Hopefully through practice I can jump a rung and match terrans who have recently undergone this skill jump.

Most of the time you don't see your improvements by yourself.
Play a whole season only ICCUP, means ~500-600 games and then play vs your allies again, you will see how much you have improved. |

Here I am on the reverse side of the spectrum, as Terran... Good luck with your games. |

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. I played this Terran who pretty much knew how to open, but didn't know what to do afterwards. He tried dropping but only killed like 2-3 probes(my reaction time has improved). I steamrolled him with pure zealot/goon. Then, right after, I play against a Terran who does some 2fac push and owns me because I have shitty macro(I had 3 gates but only 2 goons to fight... :/). 3rd game, another Terran, somewhat crappy, I mass expand once I see he's going for FE and I steamroll him with mass gates and 2-2 upgrades(crappy Terran). Then, right after that game, I play against a T who also FE's, so I mass expand(all these games were on Luna btw), make about 5 expansions, make a big force, try harassing, he takes his min only, then pushes out in the most gayest way. I lose about 40% of my force just trying to reach his army, and since I had no storm+shuttles, I wasn't able to do much damage. I had like 8 gateways against his 10 factories... so I just left the game when he took out 2 of my expansions.
Bleh, I've been facing nothing but Terrans. I hate PvT, only matchup I like is PvZ, and most of the Zs on Iccup try breaking your FE or going 4hatch hydra to end it quick.
My record is 7-12, hoping to mass game one of these days(I never have the motivation... today I played about 4 games). |

Iccup is great, its just at C level every zerg pvz does the same thing which gets quite annoying. If you do a 1 gate tech build they try to either bust your ramp with pure 3 hatch lings, or drone drill. If you FE they do a hydra rush type of build. etc.
It's fun but gets sometimes annoying. |

I wish that were true haha.
If I played a much better player, they could SHARE VISION and I'd still have trouble winning, and that's not specifically a reflection on me. |
