I think what is going on is exactly what Geoff said
They want to show him that he in indeed outofContRoL! by making him suffer in plat league!

But seriously, I think it has to be over 9000!

Blizzard already commented on the ladder system and how it places in there community chat ('the transcript is somewhere on TL), it takes about 35'games to know where you belong

Lol, indeed, that was well worth the time, it was pretty hilarious InControls impressions of the Blizzard team/DB.

Nope, the ladder system has some silly built in minimum loss requirement before it will evaluate you for division switches. 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.

you have to go on a losing streak and then win one, you'll get promoted after the win

This was also my experience. 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.

You don't actually get stuck playing people in your division. 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.

I'm confused by how they determine the rankings as well. I placed into Gold but after a couple of days (with a record of about 15-10) I moved straight to Diamond--skipped Plat all together.

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.
Poooooor Protoss.

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.

Pretty sure it's like that with everything. Beginning of beta, mech is not viable, later in beta mech is op.

Uhmm.. the only people I get placed against are DIAMOND people after my 7th win or so. 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!
