Being rank #1 in your division is awesome bragging fodder to friends, high ELO or not.

I didn't even play scbw on iccup, I only played on ums maps on bw. I was #3 in one of the lower platinum leagues for a while. Pretty much scale D- to platinum.

Like many people have said 1285 ELO isn't very impressive at all... i'm at around 1400 and it's way harder then when i was just a hundred or two lower, the skill level really starts to pick up at the high ELO ratings.

Re division rank: Yes that mean absolutely nothing, except maybe to yourself ( yea I finally past that cheesing **** above me) EDIT( oh yea and bragging right for sure)



The skill ceiling for SC2 is quite low compared to BW. While this is to be expected (SC2 has been played for 2 months, basically), I'm still suprised how far, just being able to use the UI well will get you. Simply by being able to make and control units as in BW, that can get you to gold. Does any one here think think that the divisions will "un-inflate" once SC2 goes public? Like getting and staying in platnium will actually be a credible achievement?

For the record, I got 1700 ELO in SC2, but for the life of me, couldn't get past D+ on iccup.

You lose points as you get promoted. Silver points and plat points are not comparable.

I was about as bad as you can get at SC1 and was 1900 plat before the resets. Its a new game. If you understand how starcraft works somewhat well and push yourself to be faster and faster you can easily top the ladder.

1300 in silver is nowhere near the same as 1300 in platinum. When you get promoted to gold, you lose a few hundred points, and then lose a few hundred more when promoted to platinum. I imagine your 1300 silver would technically drop to roughly 700 platinum (give or take a hundred pts or so)

Yeah, imo SC2 is a bit of a joke. It lets you think you're good even if you suck though.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

As long as you can win ~50% of the time in platinum getting a good rank is just a matter of how many games you play imo.
