What i am surprised at is that the platinum league isn't the end all uber micro super apm fest that i thought it would be.
Maybe by mistake i got placed into the platinum. But after playing ANother round of placements i got placed into platinum. Played 3 matches in the platinum. Lost 2 and won vs a terran with an average apm of around 30 vs the terran with apm 31

If i'm in the platinum shouldn't there be a league that is higher than platinum?

Congrats on going platinum man, do you notice any big difference in skill level? I hope to hit platinum aswell within this week, or maybe the reset will strike sooner, I'll see.

Not really. Get 1600+ points and you will start playing ''the real platinum players'' or players that are decent. Getting to Platinum itself isn't hard at all.

I think those people deserve a higher league. I don't think it's quite right that 30apm little me is in the same league as the people i see on youtube.
I think i expected platinum to be different. Like in HD starcraft replays where he said both were platinum division so expect high high level of play.
Oh well. Guess this will work out when the game releases. I do hope that the great great players will have a higher league to distinguish themselves.

I was in platinum doing okay (consistently around #30), but then my stats got resetted. I played super sloppy during my placement matches and got rushed 2 times, so I ended up in silver... ughh...

So that platinum placement i had it's gone. And since i played my placement matches but halfway down the line i get placed into silver seeing that someone else played a couple of placement matches for me and lost....
Got to love them weird bugs
