Hey Guys, It took me less than a month from Bronze to get to Diamond. I've improved so much and have been using some really effective builds. If you have ever checked my blog posts you will be impressed how awesome I've been laddering. I am a top diamond #@ with about 3,100 points. Anyways, like I said, I never gave up and hope you get there to does who want to get there. I recommend practicing in custom games because that is what I do sometimes. I think I wont be laddering any more and I will try to bring my team leagues up. Anyways, here is proof:

Congrats. How often do you play? Just curious because I don't get much practice time and am wondering how much it is possible to improve in a month.

It mostly depends on your knowledge of SC2. If you improve your macro you will ladder. You need to play between 3-5 hours daily. But, try to come up with new builds and copy others. GL

Honestly, Diamond league is overrated (i've been in it for like 5-6 months -.-). Its full of the same amount of cheese/rushing/whatever as platinum, with slightly higher points scores and slightly more BM.

Sorry to burst your bubble, thats just what Diamond is.

grats on diamond, masters/diamond have been derided as still low skill level (which they sort of), but it still is a great feeling getting the promotion

Yeah I unfortunately have to agree. you may feel that you've improved a lot, and you probably have! But Diamond right now is no more an impressive achievement than Platinum was prior to the Master's League patch.

And conversely, 3.1k points is not a particularly impressive achievement either, given that that is the amount of bonus pool currently available.

diamond is very bad. for example me.. i play sc2 for 6weeks and reached in my first month masters and im 3800 right now so it's gotta be pretty bad to be at diamond lvl after 1 month

Yeah, being in the top 20% of active players is terrible. Even the worst players are in the top 20% of active players.

Oh wait, that's illogical.

On second thought, congrats OP!

Yea, I agree with Jimmy, you don't need to practice 3-5 hours / day to have good macro and be in diamond. I have reached high diamond playing only a game a day. I think it's your general understanding of the game that gets you far, mechanics can be augmented by hours of play; however, mechanics alone doesn't win games. That being said practice never hurts and congrats on Diamond.
