So after being low masters for the longest time, the ladder resets. So I play the placement game and all. It was a rather lengthy PvT, where I ended up toying with him until his 3 bases were mined out and he gg'ed.

Now nothing really clicked at first, the giant bronze symbol sat there on my screen, staring back at my empty gaze. Then a wave of surprise, then a burst of anger.

"WHY?!" I demanded to know. "What is THIS!!?"

After a few minutes I realized that do to the ladder reset I only had to win 4 or 5 games to top my division, and a few more to move to silver.

I just want to know why that happened though...

So.... what was your W/L for the last 50 or so games of S1? I really doubt a Masters -> Bronze jump is possible without first hitting Diamond or Platinum. And considering you won your placement? Sounds like a bug.

Actually I'm a bit envious. You can pad your win rate insanely until you get back to your level. Get up there with SeleCT. Nice.

lol that blows dude. From my very limited knowledge of how the ladder actually works, by any chance did you lose a huge string of games before the ladder reset possibly bringing down your mmr (or whatever the abbreviation is) and forcing you to play some bronze guy for you placement match?

It could have been that or i might be way off Im just thinking out load. My sympathies to you sir. At least you can rofl stomp people for a bit on your quick climb to diamond/masters

My win rate was steadily going down, towards the end of the season. But maybe just enough to put me into diamond, if even that...

But I don't have much time to ladder as of late so I figure I should just hit the ladder hard in the next few days, while its still early in the season.

Do you have a profile link or am I going to have to assume this is an April fools joke?
