I got placed into Plat, couldn't get out of it regardless of having been C- iCCup. Thing is, I realized I just didn't care enough about SCII to seriously try and get good at it, so now I'm happy enjoying BW as an observer and spectator. Sooner or later I hope everyone realizes Ladder is pointless.

Good job not losing yo games, bro. Could be since you played so much on SEA your MMR is taking longer to climb up to promotion levels, ya know? So you just pop right up to diamond once on NA.
If you can do it; you should do it every time.

I would bet anything that NA has a significant amount of more players that bought the game played >20 games and quit than any other region. This is why masters is watered down in comparison to other regions


If that were true, then they'd be gone after each season refresh.

No, NA has just a very large variance of skill, and huge quantities of players. Makes the the mean a bit lower. ..math goes here.

On the contrary I think BW has only elitists left now.

It all comes down to your definition of elitism. If you call Sayle/Kiante/XsebT elitist, then I will agree with you. BW has a fuckton of elitism. On the contrary, BW guys are really friendly towards newcomers from SC2 as long as the newcomers are respectful towards BW and not go ahead and say something like "hey guise do u no dat sc2 came out LOOOOOOL" or "what is this? 1960s? Do you also listen to disco music? LOOOOOOOOL".

Thing is, the respect in BW community is too much for an ordinary SC2 guy that he gets confused about what to do. No balance whining, no player/caster bashing, no random insults floating all around in LR threads, that's just too much I guess.

Hah! Yeah right.


He's right, everybody in the BW is totally chilled (until you mention sc2).

quite simple. The NA server has more players so it is easier to get promoted in a higher league.


No, it's split by percentages.

5 placement matches on a new account on a new server means nothing. The system has no idea what your skill level is.

Back at release when I was in silver league I played 5 placement games on a guest pass, won them all, and got placed into platinum.

Clearly NA > NA.

In BW, the closer you got to korea, the harder the games were. East Coast < West Coast < Korea. Same is probably true in SC2. I know that I'd be diamond (high masters in na) if I played in korea.

On the other hand, I'd have a much higher turnaround rate since koreans are cheesy fucks, and I can outcheese even SCDPride, so IDK.
