Realistically, novice is more like platinum and below. Blizzard went to a lot of trouble to name everyone's ranks in a way to make them feel good even if they're bad. Unlike iCCup which ranked tons of people with grades like "D-"
- JeremyChase 16y agoBlizzard did try to make everyone feel good about their ranking. However, the flaw in your argument is that hardly anyone ranked D- in ICCup was actually a novice at Broodwar.
- gort 16y agoAgreed. I'm a Platinum 1v1 player, and completely terrible.
- Charuru 16y agoWell iCCup bills itself as a gosu server, so it's understandable. D on iCCup must be about the top 4% of the SC population or something. C would be 1%.
- asdf333 16y agoI would recommend getting 'novice' defined for this tourney... reading through this thread it is apparent that people have wildly differing views on what novice is. Would hate to enter as real novice (beat cpu on normal) and be up against gold players.
