Congrats though

BUBBLE POP!


I thought it was US Masters = China Masters = Korean Low Masters to High Diamond?
The average Korean masters player is no that phenomenally skilled compared to an American player.


Just out of curiousity, have you played at that level? I can say with confidence (personal experience) high masters US = (high) Diamond KR.


GZ Op ^^ it's always nice to achieve something you set out for keep up the good work ^^

@ heha I don't think you're as good as you think you are. I know from personal experience that high masters on NA make low masters on KR with a bit of difficulty but after about 80-100 games they normally get promoted.

Yayayaya I'm in a similiar situation as you, #1 diamond then stopped playing for a while. Kinda want to start again and get to masters just to know I can do it. How did you practice to change get that extra edge to get the promotion into masters??

EDIT* Congrats, every promotion always made me feel so happy, from silver to gold, gold to plat, and especially plat to diamond, I literally dance around after every promotion. Big smile on my face for the rest of the day.

Hmm, I didn't do much differently, just mainly laddered. I did hit a wall vs Terran and Protoss which I kinda got over by watching Stephano's stream and studying his replays. I think the key is just to continue playing more games. As my mechanics got better, games flowed much smoother and things got easier.

Oh and I'm a compulsive watcher of my own replays, especially the ones I lose. I try to spot my mistakes and improve on them.. don't always succeed but it helps.

And finally don't get discouraged if you're high diamond and still not getting promoted after seemingly forever. As long as you are playing against masters you will eventually get promoted. My promotion placed me into a newly created division so I guess battle.net was just waiting for enough players to create it. So just keep plugging away at it. D:

LOL don't listen to this jerk

Congrats man, that's awesome! Keep it up!


Low master NA is actually KR platinum. I am high diamond, beating low master on KR and I can take games off of GM on NA.

Masters is a good achievement to get though, but the better you get, the more you know how bad you actually are.

Congratulations !!! Your story is very similar to mine, and I was promoted not that long ago.

Keeping motivation for the game was hard, because I'd basically achieved my goal and I didn't really believe I could go to the next step (GM). I hope you'll find something to motivate yourself to keep improving. And have fun in customs, expect people to rage at you when you say you're Masters !
