Can they create some algorithm to see that somebody f'ing sucks at Starcraft, was about to lose, but got lucky that my computer froze?

I select Veteran.
I was 3 seconds away from EASILY (walk in the park (practically sleeping)) winning my first placement match, then *boom*, computer freezes.

I come back to win 4-0 the rest of the placements in an incredibly uneven set of matches. Then, "Congratulations! You've been placed in Gold division!"

Thanks, Blizzard. I can't wait to live in placement match heaven where I log on and can practically play all the placement-level matches I want!

Can everyone please stop making sarcastic blogs complaining about this? "Thanks Blizzard!!! (I'm saying thanks but actually I'm super pissed GOD I'M SO CLEVER)"

You know what, I'm going to thank Blizzard in a very non-sarcastic way. Thank you Blizzard, for letting me play a great game for free.

Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

Wow stop complaining, if you are worthy of platinum you will get promoted to platinum so what's the problem?

Lol. My game crashed twice after the patch 10 during placement matches. I won all the games I didn't crash in. (I was 1900 rating in Platinum before so placement matches are usually a cake walk.)

Now I'm a proud member of Silver league. But doesen't really matter. I know I will be bumped to Platinum sooner or later, I'll just enjoy noob bashing and play some random while I'm still here, so should you! Not a big deal.

So you're not just annoyed at the bad luck that your comp froze at that moment... you're mad at Blizzard for not having an algorithm to work around this... lol.

You're mad that you're in gold and not in platinum? Well then win a lot and you'll get promoted? What's the big deal?

Plenty of people go 5-0 and still get placed into gold. There was no guarantee you would be put in Platinum. Maybe after this reset, you're actually a gold player?

It seems it is. I've played around 20 games now, first made it to Gold League from Silver League and now I'm in Platinum League. If you are truly a Platinum Level player (which isn't hard at all) you can easily push through the leagues, because you shuold be destroying most opponents without much problem.

The main reason I'm complaining was a) This was 2 mins after I got placed, and b) I don't have enough time to play very many games these days. I can seriously play about 50 per month, tops. I'd really like my time spent to be on worthwhile games.

I've moved up to plat every time, but it's an annoying process.
