I've watched a few of atlasmech's replays in starcraft broodwar(yes, I had to type his name in a rep site and it actually produced results. Funny thing is the comments were aflame too) and he should be iirc around C/C- lvl of play and standing steadily at ~180-200 apm. Most such players from broodwar that didn't quit strategy games and moved on to SC2 are currently high ranked diamond up to even high master's... Keep in mind that he's only played 31 games in gold league and won the majority of them which suggests that he should be probably positioned at platinum given a fair amount of games. Being unable to use rational thinking doesn't make you a scrub nor does it make you unable to learn from experience. CombatEX to take another example of a ~C lvl broodwar player with lots of flaming history was quite average in broodwar at about the same levels of Atlas(a little higher ranked than atlas iirc) and is now top200 in US... He made videos on youtube giving bad advice to new players.
