After weeks of grinding through pvp after pvp after pvp, I finally ascended my way to the top of my gold division with a stellar record of 52-30 (or something like that). After promptly losing 3 games in a row, I won one final game to see that I was promoted to platinum! I don't know if this is a good or bad thing, seeing as how I late losing and I'm probably going to lose a lot more now, but I guess it's kind of nice to know that I don't completely suck at this game haha

Now a question, I got moved to platinum, but I still seem to be placed in the same gold division, just with no ranking. At the same time, after every game I play I get points and see my ranking in platinum, but I can't access the overall platinum division rankings so I can't see my score. This is a problem both in my profile and the ladder tab. Anyone else have this problem after getting moved up a division?

Congrats man!!
Is there any way to re-play placement matches, because played mine at 1AM with no knowledge of the hotkeys and ended up in Silver (eew)

Or do i have to just go through the ranks.
You make it sound like there's a correlation between what should happen and what actually happens. I mean, life is chaotic and it's often unfair. I know it is for me.

IDK. I am at the top of the gold league and I have beaten number 1 platinum players before. I honestly don't think rank means much once you get up to top 10 of your division. but congrats anyways
Is it in you?

I recently got promoted to platinum, I went 16-4, gained tons of points, but then I started losing a lot, dropping to 28-26. It seems that if you are a high rank, winning gives you a lot of points, but if you are a low rank in the platinum, most games you win are like +7 but whenever you lose you lose like 15-17. The ranking system seems a bit broken right now imo, hope blizzard fixes this by the release.

You probably lost vs a player who was considered fairly bad... even if he was underrated the computer didn't know that at the time I guess.

I have the same problem, I can't see the list of players on my division or my rank. Although I haven't been promoted or demoted.

People are talking wether you pick Beginner or Veteran or w/e was in the middle also counts on what league you will get. (Veteran pickers will get Platinum even 4-1, and I heard people only getting to Gold even after going 5-0, perhaps due to them picking beginner.)

Which makes me think you picked beginner hoping to bash some noobs.

Gongratz on getting Platinum man! It's not really that different from Gold till you make it top 10, but you will notice that games will take longer to get when you hit top 10, especially in the 2v2 section, and games will get increasingly harder, and like someone pointed out, you wont gain ridicolously amount of points.

EDIT: Also look at your points and your division. On my another account I'm ranked 1-3 on Platinum with my Protoss, but only hovering little under 10 on my Zerg which is 200 times better then my Protoss, mainly because the competition in that division is much higher since it's older, meaning the points are also much higher.

I picked beginner during my placement matches and went 4-1. I got placed into Gold.

Also, good job KOFgokuon. ^_^
I'm sitting at the top of my Gold division with like 12 games played. I haven't played in a while so I probably fell down to like rank 20 due to other people laddering ahead of me.

I think this motivates me to get back on and hit platinum though.

When the full game comes out, is the ranking system still going to have leagues (plat, gold...)?

indeed, I picked veteran or experienced or whatever the highest one was, went 4-1 and was placed platinum. Pretty much everyone else in my division was also 4-1

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...
