I wanted to know how many seasons did it take players who were diamond and what caused this change, i'd really appreciate this because i'm really struggling and my MMR is all over the place because of the amount of games I lose and win. I really want to get masters its always been a goal for me, but my goals were crushed after i got demoted, its funny how blizzard call it "reclassified" to make it seem any better. -.- , PS- No Trolls , Peace out  GG | ||

My advice to you is to just keep practicing, and after each game, try to think of something you could have done differently, and attempt to do it differently in the next game you play. Eventually, you will make it! Good luck mate. | ||

About a year (of active playing, with breaks) to get to high diamond (from bronze) and 3 - 4 months to masters. I got demoted 2 times already, until I found the right mindset to play this game actually. Suddenly masters isn't that much of a grudge anymore. (Yep, I'm right now in the third try of masters) I think it's all about the mindset, not about the actual game. If you play always in a good mood, if you try to be friendly, and take losses with a good laugh and deep thought of what you actually could do better (I'm not using the term "what went wrong" because I want to try to stay positive in any way), a totally new level opens for you. Atleast that's what I'm experiencing ... | ||

There's too many players who are have too much pride in their play and don't realize how flawed it is. I see so many players who just don't have their fundamentals down. | ||

For example I spent a while looking at replays to decide in PvP I wanted to take the close ramp gas on Antiga Shipyard first because it can give me vision close to the ramp earlier, cannot be stolen for vision during a cannon rush, and if I go for any zealot stalker or 3 stalker openning I can usually chase the probe out and take my 2nd gas sooner. Also I can deny the scouting of a 2nd gas if they poke up the ramp. It is just an example of how you can improve the way you think of improving, but most people convince themselves they understand what they are doing and dig themselves into a hole. You can practice a billion games but if you aren't actively getting better then you won't be improving fast enough for a fast promotion. | ||

You always get promoted/demoted, when you least suspect it, so don't ask yourself, will i get promoted after each game :D | ||

Granted I'm not high masters yet, only rank 22 atm, but just putting in time made me better. | ||

Edit: I feel I should mention that I posted because so many of the posts are from people who easily got into Masters. I think a question like this is going to naturally attract people who easily swept through while people who struggled/are struggling are less likely to reply. Congrats to people who got into Masters fast but I just wanted to add some perspective. Improve at your own rate and just be happy with getting better. | ||

I would say I played about 100 games ladder games total to get it. But I have RTS (brood war) experience. | ||

The difference between high diamond and low master is just an arbitrary benchmark that Blizzard implemented, it's not like there's a big difference between those two skill levels. Sounds more like a mindset problem than an actual skill problem. | ||

The system is fairly sure of your skill, and your mmr wont change very drasticly. I would argue the opposite, whenever I lose a game on my high diamond account in korea, I feel like it takes me from masters players back down to middling diamonds again. As to OP's question, on NA I spent 1.5 seasons as diamond. In diamond I probably played ~250 games. | ||

I haven't been involved in sc2 for a long time, but I'm pretty sure things are the same now as they were before. If you want to be a 'masters' player, you simply need to have good enough mechanics. You have to have decent enough knowledge to perform 2-3 strats effectively, you have to be able to not skip out on building workers and units (don't miss warp-in's if you're toss, don't miss injects if you're zerg, don't idle production if you're terran). Scout regularly, it doesn't even have to be miraculous scouting, just basic scouting like did your zerg opponent 15 hatch or is he 20+ food with no hatch zomg. If vs toss scout for pylons etc. Only thing you need for Masters play, is solid enough mechanics. The jump to Grandmasters is much more difficult and involves more APM, but to compete at the Masters level, just work on all of the little things. Watch your replays and notice how long your production cycles are idle (injects, warpins etc). Do you constantly have a probe on the field ready to place a pylon? How is your creep spread? Are you harassing frequently enough? Did you let your opponent double expand for free? These are things you should be looking for to improve your play. Micro becomes much more effective after your mechanics are solid. Bad mechanics means Micro will not win you games. | ||
