So I start out by running Starcraft II immediately after the reset fixing the Zerg Larva issue and I start my placements matches. First match is going just fine on Steppes of War with me killing the Zerg opponent, and just when I'm about to win the game.... I get this fantastic message.

"You have dropped", or "You are disconnected" or whatever, too pissed off to remember.

So after that fantastic luck that Zerg player got, I play another Zerg player who goes a Zergling/Baneling all-in who ends up winning because of a lag spike ruining my micro.
0-2 sigh..

Then I play another Zerg player who tries to go for a 9/10 Pool on me. I manage to win by blocking my entrance.
1-2.

I then play another Zerg player and I manage to win by going a proxy reaper rush.
2-2.

Then, I play finally a Terran player. Just when I'm about to win with banshees? Guess what?
"You were dropped."
Whoo, 2-3.
A platinum player, all this time, placed into Silver division. It was an epiphany.

LOL, that's funny. I played some guy named nerfterran last patch who went that 12 ling glitch with the larva. Was sooo ironic.
But good job placing plat. I wish Blizzard wouldn't award wins for those who still stay in the game =[.

Then people are just going to drop themselves as soon as they're losing, with minimal damage to their ranking. Online gaming has always had problem with latency and drops, it's unfortunately something we just have to deal with.

haha I got my entrance into platinum by:

1. beating a guy who made an extractor and nothing else
2. making dark templar, nuff said versus newbs
3. having a guy leave the game immediately
4. losing to kawaiirice (not an epic game unfortunately )
5. beating a guy who just spammed zerglings.

Maybe next time you'll get the people I played against haha

Perhaps, but when a drop is something that you have no control over and it occurs even though your internet connection is fine, that's a different story.

Yeah, but like I said, it's just something you have to deal with because your other suggestion just does not work.

"To transcend beyond greatness, you must become greatness itself."
i think you can leave out the "beyond" since it is an implicit part of transcendence to "go beyond"

95% of platinum players are terrible - you aren't missing out. It's almost like you are going to have to wait a week or two for another reset or just work your way up if you are an A+ Super Star. AAAHHHH!!!

After reset, first match I play, sc2 crashes. Second match I play, sc2 crashes. The best I can get in is silver now, assuming I don't crash again. Last round I was also silver division because of 3 wins 2 disconnects. First round I was platinum. I'm not gonna bother trying to play my way up to platinum when there's bound to be a reset soon.

They sorta do. I don't know the breakdown, but if 20% of players get into platinum, then most people on TL who play sc should be a part of that group.

I love how everyone doesn't realize it's still a BETA. Why bitch about glitches in a beta version? THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF A BETA!

Have fun in your brand new division.
I'm sure you'll need skill and precision
To outplay these pros,
Throw down your depots
And 1a - so hard a decision.
The above was a Limerick
