The bonus pool ensures that points for everyone will increase over time, so having a rating requirement would be silly. | ||

The one loss was against someone I totally destroyed but then DC'ed before he quit... so at least in patch 13 it was still pretty easy to get into diamond, only one or two of my placement game opponents seemed like they were any good (and I'm not amazing either). | ||

Magic? | ||

Wins, losses, and the MMR of the opponents you've faced. EDIT: FA you'd be a good candidate for this test. Think you could mass game today and see how long it takes for you to get promoted to Diamond? =] | ||

Once people on Teamliquid.net actually start posting screenshots or you, yourself, farm enough games to get promoted, we will see if it still exists. Until then we are left in the dark of the massive Bnet 2.0 censorship. Seeing people like rox.kis.BratOK going 15-0 in my division and still being plat has me wondering if Diamond still exists. | ||

Think you could mass game today and see how long it takes for you to get promoted to Diamond? =] Well then how does rating, record and how successful you are not having anything to do with it? Its not going to be an exact science, but it'll give you a good indicator of where you stand. Its the best we've got, since we don't have those actual MMR numbers, after all. Although, from my understand, isn't your rating directly related to your 'hidden' MMR? Isn't it basically the same thing at this point? Beat a bad opponent from a lower bracket? Gain fuckall points. Beat a good one from the same bracket? Gain a few. Beat a great one, from a higher bracket? Gain a buttload. Hidden MMR was a concept they introduced in WoW Arena because its a team-game and they need hidden MMRs to keep an idea of player skill when they join/leave Arena teams all the time. In this game, you're always solo, so your actual MMR is going to be identical to your rating. | ||

In this game, you're always solo, so your actual MMR is going to be identical to your rating. The hidden MMR is what allows players to advance very rapidly through lower divisions if they get good. In WoW MMR was made to allow very high skilled players to only play high rated players, same is happening in SC2. Your MMR is spiking excessively to try and match your skill level fast, that's why it has to be hidden, because it would be very akward to see your ratings skyrocket and fall all the time, as it is trying to match your skill as you win more and more games at start. If your point about MMR being identical to your rating is to be true, then how can you face Platinum players when you're still in Silver? That is because you've won a series of games in Silver that has made your MMR become so high that it wants to rank to against Platinum players, if you continue winning you will get promoted to Gold shortly and your MMR will keep going upwards rapidly, until you start losing. The rating you see is only to show your preformance as it gives a better idea of level over time, winning 1 game against IdrA on the ladder doesnt mean you're better than him, you have to keep producing results on the ladder to be ranked number 1. | ||

I mean, imagine all the players who's gonna play SC2. Even with one really huge Diamond league, it would still be very small in comparison with player numbers. Not that I don't like the idea of a super-exclusive league, I'm just saying. | ||
