My Last WoL Season, My Last Triumph

The last season for WoL just started tonight and will end on 3/12 (HotS release). I started in Platinum during the first season and managed to make my way to Masters during the last 3 seasons. I did very well last season on ladder placing 4th in my division with about 100 games played for 1v1's.

I just played my placement match and sadly lost, however, what surprised me about this is not that I had lost, but that I was placed into Diamond league. I'm not quite sure how after 3 seasons of finishing in top 8 masters I was placed into diamond but nonetheless I was. We have just entered the last season and although it's not the biggest deal in the world, I planned on mainly playing HotS beta this last season in preparation of the release. Now I feel like I have OCD and need to play my way back into masters that I was taken from and show WoL that it can't stop me

I played many games and my knowledge of Starcraft 2 has changed so much since the beginning of WoL, and now that the game has decided to challenge me once more, I will accept it's challenge and destroy it! I wanted to write about this because of how confused I was being demoted back down after playing very well for 3 seasons straight, but now that it has happened I can only say...

"I did it once, I can do it again"

My best guess is that because the player base is contracting, the number of slots available in Masters is a lot lower, so to maintain the percentile based ranks they moved a lot of people down. About to find out if I'm still platinum...

Ouch. Feel your pain that would suck.

I feel you though, I said I would make GM in WoL; with 1 season left I have failed my goal but hoping to carry strong into HoTS!

Top 8 means nothing how many points did you have at the end of the season??, also use mmr tracker in sc2 gears to closely monitor how far away from leagues you are its really nice
