It was the same way in beta, I remember being like 50-4 and stuck in platinum, then losing 4 out of 5 games and being promoted to diamond. I thought I was just bugged at first, but I saw multiple friends who would go to 30-2 or some such and not get promoted, while others would get bumped up with 15-9 records. Seems like they left it in for release since some players like Idra/Moonglade aren't being promoted with 30+ wins against 0/1 losses. From what I can tell, the magic arbitrary number is 8 losses, I guarantee you'll be moved up within a few games of your next loss, since you have 7. | ||

I played against a toss who was clearly better than me, and then I lost the next game to a cheese in ZvZ, and then was matched against the same toss again and lost (it was close mind you). Then it gave me another ZvZ and the guy hilariously 14 hatched and was subsequently destroyed by lings and then I was promoted to Diamond. | ||

Last phase of beta I got stuck in Silver (2-3 or 3-2 due to d/cs and whatnot), but I played almost all high plat and diamond until it eventually promoted me. | ||

However, I was looking at the ladder last night and IdrA was #1 in his Platinum division with a record of 27-1. Yes. 27 wins and 1 loss. The only loss was clearly a dropped game (just a few seconds long) to LzGaMeR (I see that others have observed this as well). I really can't imagine what they use to determine Diamond. Elo. APM. # of games played. High income/low resources unused. # of drones made lol. the list could go on. Though i think whoever said there is a minimum loss requirement is probably correct. Any and all of these would be better by players like Incontrol and IdrA. Again, I have no idea what they use to determine this. That video was hilarious btw. | ||

He is 37-2 or something like that now. I was right behind him then I got promoted so I cant take a pic anymore. I think he had 700 something points. | ||

Now I have 500+ points in plat with over a 75% rin rate, playing DIAMOND people and I'm still stuck in plat. Oh and incontrol I just beat you on the ladder with imba ghosts ^_^ and got raped one game later! | ||
