So I just finally got promoted to master league, after a long time of fighting in high diamond and a lot of frustration, I am finally there.
It feels that like yesterday I was in bronze losing to my friend over and over again..

Guess I am finally allowed to join the "noone below masters should talk about balance" club!

Just wanted to tell the world, I am so happy atm :D

Comparing a forced distribution ladder (sc2) and a non-forced distribution (iCcup) doesn't make sense.
To OP, don't let anyone down talk your achievement. Congrats!

I played my placement match halfway through season 2 and got placed in Masters, guess I was high enough in season 1.

Not so thinly veiled brag... way to hijack the op.

Congratz op, it's cool to hear about noobs improving. Personally I can't wait for the next generation of progamers to hit the scene, people who've never played RTS until SC2 and got their through hard work without a headstart from another game.

Masters players shouldn't talk about balance either.

Congrats though

Congrats! Hopefully I'll manage to get over the high diamond hump someday as well (1300 diamond atm).

The game that got me promoted was my last game for the day, I was pretty tired and was going to bed. I faced a terran on Delta Quadrant and I decided to 3gate stargate since Delta Quadrant is hard to play vs T. So I ended up winning and staying up for an extra hour to play more!

I had around 1300 points I think. It lowered to 1111 when I came to masters.

High diamond here as well. It feels like everytime I take a step forward with promotion I take 2 steps back

Well, even grandmaster players whine about balance, don't they?
For example, IdrA (P imba), MC (Z imba), etc.

Considering the fact that I'm a silver zerg in EU server and D+ high in iccup (I got to D+ last season, I've been silver since last october), you might as well be equivalent to C. And congrats for getting to masters.

This is actually a compliment. Masters is closer to D+ rank ._.

Meant more as a "I suck now, so I'm just not gonna play anymore ladder games to stay in Masters" kinda thing =p

Congrats! Though the iCCup analogies always make me feel somewhat inadequate... I have so many friends in Masters that wouldn't make it to D- on iCCup but here I am sitting in Diamond (D+ T).
