naww ranks dont mean anything, when they added diamond they also removed bronze. so basically nothing has changed

You can no longer place in diamond, 5 wins give you a place in platinum and you have to
play your way up to diamond. This change is probably more significant but I don`t think it changed too much anyway.

placement isn't purely based on amounts of wins, also length of games and who you beat. i went 5-0 in placement and got placed in gold

It's only whether you win or lose and who you beat. Nothing else.

then why does he go 5-0 and get placed and gold and I go 5-0 and get placed in plat?

edit: nevermind I see "And who you beat"

so like if it plays me against harder people and I still win then I go in plat but he played easier people.

Seems kinda unfair. ^_^

to get into the highest SC2 league you only need to be D on iccup really, and to get to the top of your specific division you need to be like D+

Global ranking makes more sense than anything else. Whats the point of having so many different diamond divisions anyways?

Yeah, but thats also based on who shares your division. Take Division Argo Echo for example. Here are some of the players in the top 20

Idra
Strelok
White-ra
Morrow
slush
drewbie
tt1
huk
and many other good players not quite on the same level as those above.

The chances of being in the top 5 of that divison are slim to none lol.

It seems to me like Diamond is more competitive than it used to be. I used to be able to stay in the top 20 of my diamond division quite easily in phase 1 but now I feel terribad because I've dropped to like 86. >< It could just be that I've gotten worse or got unlucky, but imo it feels like the bottom 50% of diamond players got lumped into platinum.
