You were ranked in 2015 Season 1, meaning part of a league on the snapshot day: the last day before the season roll. If you hit Leave League, well, that was a dumb and bad idea! 2. You were not underperforming in your league. Demotions don't exist anymore, so if you were a Diamond player but playing Golds because your MMR was really in Gold, that's no longer in the top 20%. 3. You were playing in the NA, EU, or SEA regions. KR isn't approved for beta access yet due to Korean rating board delays (like PEGI or ESRB). 4. You did not experience MMR decay by not playing for the last 2-4 weeks of the season. Points don't matter. Division rank doesn't matter. Point 1 at least is irrelevant, because I didn't play a single ranked game in Season 1 2015 and got into the beta. edit: Which interestingly contradicts the statement. Weird. Or you was one of the luckly ones. They are also giving betas to random people.

Yeah they themself showed the flaw in their ranking system. If the 20% top ranked players aren't the 20% top players, the system is bad. Well at least MMR decay is gone now, I still hope they make a more transparent system for LotV, where your rank shows your skill.

|
Got random beta invite!!!
|
I got one
|

Too bad I stopped playing sc2 for like a year. I would love to get back into it with the lotv beta >.<
|
I have been around top 0.5% for 2 years in a row. Stopped playing for few months and they took data from that period.
Since I never got into any Blizzard RTS beta including WC3 Frozen Throne and HOTS it does not surprise me anymore

I never got into any beta before(only after I pre-ordered and got beta key), but then I got Hearthstone beta, and after that HOTS and now LotV. I guess it's because I spent a lot of money on the Hearthstone beta, then on the HoTS beta
|
got an invite, was plat (dia MMR I guess as I was playing dia/masters). Given the percentages blizzard gave top plat falls within the top 20%.
edit: I m speaking of season 1 2015. I guess i was lucky to be active at the right period

Got a key, is the game worth playing right now? I was Protoss for my wol/hots career but I haven't played in a long time and all I've heard is P really sucks in the game right now
originally just wanted lotv to play campaign to be honest

originally just wanted lotv to play campaign to be honest It's a beta. Don't have too high of an expectation. My advice play random and have fun exploring the madhouse.

to be honest idk right now at least from my games its been only allins, bane allins, roach burrow silliness, weird protoss stuff but thats normal i guess and siege drops into mass cyclones lol. me personally I not sure i like it so far, but thats cause i like actual build orders and such instead of this randomness, but I've heard alot of ppl like the crazy chaotic game play but its to random for me right now. I think it will be much better when things get better figured out but not sure right now how i feel. also i play random, if that matters, and i tell my race.
