I was Silver before the last ladder reset, but after restarting yesterday I went 5-0 in the placements and got put in Plat.

Take advantage of the easy Platinum while it lasts;;
bullshit. since when is 9-0 top of ladder?


it can be enough for top of the ladder right after the reset dont you think?


New league divisions are being made daily, even hourly or quicker, at the rate the beta is growing. It is perfectly reasonable that in a brand new division that 9-0 would be placing first.


yeah thats true as well

though this is a site full of sc2 fanatics, so maybe it's not completely surprising? still, seems like the wrong distribution.


why? as people said it's ridiculously easy to get into platinum, even the competent D level players can do it

How is that possible? 40apm with platinum 1?

I got gold, and it's pretty tough...

Was in plat before the reset, got d/c'd from a couple of my placements and ended up in Bronze, I've moved up to the top of silver so far but I'm played out for today.

Platinum random 2v2.

There are like 90 platinum divisions which is totally ridiculous. There are divisions with <1200 point players as #1 and some have 1800+. I was just thinking of this yesterday when I was looking at a friends division. Top 25 in my division would top his division because of how new it was. I was also thinking those people who top division with like 1100 points are going to brag about #1 plat which now means squat.

ELO is also retarded because of the problems they had with the system. Some had bonus pools of 600+ and got like 1800 points in 2 days. Others are always favored gaining 20+ a game and losing -4 while the unlucky last few are getting +10/-10 per game on average.

Once the ELO is fixed then the complete compiled US server rankings should be the best indicators of level. It's where I always looked to indicate how far I've come up through the rankings.

Before I got my key, I played the offline thing for a few games, learned the basic strategies of doing a fast expand Zerg - quick harass with 2 zerglings, then turtle up and build roaches and hydras. Then when I feel it's about right, I rush. Very formulaic and sort of brainless - I still make lots of mistakes in my build orders, and my APM seldom exceeds 60. I know a few keyboard shortcuts, but not all of them.....

After I got my beta key, I got online, played Zerg for 5 placement games and won all 5 with my formulaic build and rush order. After the 5 games, I've been placed into the Platinum league.

IMO, someone like me who wins the 5 placement games should be placed into Gold league, then once proven, promoted into Platinum. I've not played a game since I've been placed into the Platinum league. I think I'll just be roadkill there.

I was wondering if more placement matches would be somewhat helpful, about 10 or so. Fixed elo system and pyramidal decrease of the number of players going up the divisions to go with it would make a pretty good battle.net ranking system I`d say. I believe Blizzard will not disappoint and change it.

as someone that climbed through the divisions and is now in platnium, theyre pretty much all the same


Except the people that are not in platinum don't win as much.... o.O

I have redone my placement games 5 times and have gone 25-0 in the placement games. Placement games are almost always against copper, bronze, some silver, and a few gold. Pretty sure there is a difference as I have about a 60% win rate in platinum probably.

i think the skill grows exponentially as you get higher and higher in platnium

How is it even possible to have 40 apm lol.

Anyway, from reading the comments it sounds like anyone halfway decent would be on Platinum. So if you're not, surrender beta key to another TL member please

Hi, I'm another one of the sc newbies. Bronze league after placement and a few games. Consistently beating other bronze players, consistantly losing to silver. Was a competitive counter strike player, going from that to sc2 is very stressful
