After a couple of months laddering at least like a game a day I got promoted to Diamond! I have been pushing for the promotion after I realized I didn't belong in Platinum. I played many people who said I am diamond level at least. so after getting told by some people I figured why not get to the level I am supposed to be at. Finally I am here and man does it feel good (:

Last season I was 48 in Gold.

This season I'm 77 in Silver.



People are getting better.
Cynicism isn't wisdom; it's a lazy way to say that you've been burned. Seems if anything you'd be less certain after everything you ever learned.

Wow this is a weird coincidence!

My grandma just got promoted to masters today! She plays on her old windows laptop that has a 700mhz processor and sounds like the ice cream man is coming down the street when she starts it up!

Also, my little sister just got promoted to masters! She had JUST GOT HOME from her girl scout awards ceremony where she received her recycling merit badge and 4 gated a zerg and POOF! MASTERS LEAGUE!

Blizzard must be doing MASS PROMOTIONS TODAY!!! CONGRATS TO EVERYONE!!!
NO TEAM WILL EVER BE AS GOOD AS TEAM LIQUID!

Being an asshole on the forums is sometimes funny, but when you've only been on the site for four months, and already have a reputation like you have, you're going to have a hard time convincing people that you're not a douchebag.

But to OP, gj on diamond. I think it's one of the more important promotions, as it shows that you really understand a lot about builds, counters, timings, and mechanics. I never had enough commitment to get there

Oh and wtf is up with division names? Tyrador November?
EffOrt. That is all.

Congrats! I remember how amazing I felt when I got my first promotion, it's an amazing feeling every time.

Keep up the good work, shoot for GM?

The first word is some StarCraft name, be it a unit (firebat, broodlord), character (Urun, Tassadar) or place (Tyrador, Char). The second word is a random letter from the NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha Bravo Charlie etc.). Sometimes it's outside the alphabet (I'm in Furinax Omicron) but IDK yet if that's a replacement for the actual latter (Oscar in this case) or just added in because Blizz needs more division names.

Selendis Echo, Brood Lord Theta, Void Ray Golf.

I was in that position about two weeks ago. If you keep winnning games, it'll probably promote you on a loss. If you go long enough you might even skip over gold and land in platinum :D but if you want to gauge your progress, get the MMR tracker. It really helped me see where I was and how much I had left until I was good enough for promotion.
