i'm not sure, but why is there a minimum loss requirement to move up? isn't that a little counter-intuitive? so essentially if you get placed in division X and never lose, you'll always be stuck in X and never move up to X+1?

I don't think it's intentional, rather there is an error with the promotion algorithm and as such it takes a certain amount of losses before one is eligible to move up. They say that one needs to have >50% win rate before they are eligible to be promoted, and so just by winning the first game a player will have 100% win rate, so perhaps they need a player to have played a certain number to be promoted, but rather than have "number of games played", they chose "number of losses"

5 of idras losses are games he quit so he could get promoted to diamond and at least 1 is a d/c in the first 40 seconds of game. Which makes his win % even more absurd. Should be 82-6.

I like how there are a lot of new names below him, and the second place gained 19 points. Most of the players below him probably have been moved up to diamond.

I believe CauthonLuck has angered the mighty blizzard gods. He should repent his sins so that the all mighty blizzard will promote him. Or he could make a video with cute and cuddly kittens.

Since I'm a poll whore I thought this would be a good time for a very important poll:

Poll: How many points will Cauthon have before he gets promoted?

Over 9000!!!!!! (11)
 
79%

1301-1400 (2)
 
14%

1401-1500 (1)
 
7%

1150-1200 (0)
 
0%

1201-1300 (0)
 
0%

14 total votes

Your vote: How many points will Cauthon have before he gets promoted?

(Vote): 1150-1200
(Vote): 1201-1300
(Vote): 1301-1400
(Vote): 1401-1500
(Vote): Over 9000!!!!!!

Gawd that was funny. And what's up with the "must lose 7 times in order to move up to diamond"? am I the only one that find that dumb? You have to lose in order to advance?

Well at this rate he should hit it with a record of 394-55. Almost there......

It's certainly not good implementation, but it does increasingly seem to be the case.
