I'm half sure that the game keeps a hidden placement after the initial placement. Where you need to go do better than 50% for vs each metal rank to stay up.

So like 5-0 gets you into gold or plat, where you'd play other people who have 4-1/5-0 records.
From there you are matched up with mostly plat people, after a while when the diamond rank is created then you need to play like 10 diamond people to move up. Since the diamond rank was new, there were less people to play. So you probably just got unlucky with searches, where the game wanted to match you with diamonds, but they were all taken. And in this case, it doesn't want you to wait so it just puts you up against the best platinums. Which doesn't do anything for you but boost your fakey elo and record.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

No, he had to play a lot of games in the beta. Some skills do transfer over, but it's also true if you play any other RTS. It's easy to adjust to SC2 anyway.


I think he was joking by hinting that inc sucked in sc1 as well?

IdrA was still in platinum this morning when I checked, he was like 33-1, and the one game he lost was against LzGamer where he apparently quit because the game lasted long enough to get 9 supply. True Story.
