First time i cheesed my way into platinum(and then got poor results), i think i am a low gold/high silver player ANYWAYS i lost my 5 placement last reset, got promoted to bronze fast and now have been sitting at rank 1 bronze for a while and havn't been promoted... just wondering how long does it usually take? Bronze is god awful boring ;LLL

(also i looked but couldn't find a thead on this)

My friend says that after he lost a game, he got promoted from gold to platinum... pretty strange IMO.

If you keep winning games, you will get promoted very quickly. There was a thread before about a guy getting from copper to plat in 30 games, and losing some along the way. If it is easy enough that it is boring, stop losing games .

so if people are winning games and being demoted, or losing games and being promoted, that would seem to indicate that you need a minimum number of games before it will let you change division. If you were 3-11 before, that win would be your 15th game, so maybe you need 15 games minimum before changing out of gold.
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

You need good win rate or you will never be advanced

yeah, that happened to me after i had lost two games in a row. granted, i had been ranked in gold but getting matched against platinum players for a while. it still seemed funny though

cuz system evaluates you after X amount of games, so if over all in those games you win enough to be promoted, you will be promoted.

just keep on playing and eventually you will get promoted. just takes time.
Think you got lag? It took Jesus 3 days to respawn.

you say bronze is god awful boring but it seems if you're not getting promoted then you are probably losing about 50% of your games and will probably stay there. you can keep playing but unless you're beating silver opponents or better or being very consistant in bronze you won't be promoted

^ yeah i thought it was just rank that mattered, my win loss with zerg is about 60 40 in copper but my protoss is about 80+, and i get dropped from maybe 1/10 games due to shitty 3rd world internet, gonna stick to protoss and play all day tomorrow to up my ratio
