the rankings are pretty misleading as well. rank 5 in one division might have the same points as rank 10 of another division. on the bright side, would lead to some interesting ego boosts / arguments on the forums :D

just like how people drop platinum division like it's iccup A now loololol

What's interesting/troubling to me is that this guy hasn't been promoted. How can you be consistently beating top platinum players, be 800 points above the next closest guy in your division, and not get promoted.

What's the point of having different leagues if high platinum caliber players are stuck in Silver?
Don't let me say this, but you're no worse than me; it's crazy.

Their review schedule for promoting/demoting is messed up, I'm hoping they rework it because I agree it makes no sense. Reviews should probably be done every 50 games. Should go something like this:

1st review: placement matches
2nd review: 20 games
3rd review: 30 games
every review afterwards is done after 50 games

Blizzard really needs to fix leagues or else their whole e-sports thing is gonna be severely messed up.

I think players wont advance leagues during seasons, I think for beta blizz enabled it for early number of games but I think after playing a bunch of games you may not be able to advance. Scsz has hundreds and hundreds of games so he may be past the point of advancement i.e. he wont advance until next season (or of course the server wipe). Personally I don't think this locked into leagues is the way to go, but I guess blizzard does for whatever reason.

Sorry for the bump... but he was featured in the Stars War tournament on the Chinese team (according to Artosis). Artosis expressed his surprise that there wasn't a thread about him on TL in his video, around the 65:30 minute mark; that is what caused me to remember this thread... He is certainly Chinese, sczc is his US account.

Uh, he's almost 800 points ahead of 2nd, yet he isn't promoted? I'm confused.

you should always provide solid proof before claiming someone is a cheater and not just randomly decide that and tell people.

There's a review at 45 games, so you're not entirely right, but close :3.
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.

Why are people still worried about leagues/rank anyway? Getting promoted is fast enough if you're willing to play some games. Not to mention its pretty much a 1 time thing only since you're linked to your bnet account.

Ladder rank has never affected leagues so I dont see it happening with SC2. The good players who care about leagues and tourneys participate in those events and get recognized there.

The blizzard invitational is a 1 time a year thing, and you'll have pleeeeeeenty of time to get to the top of your ladder, should you have been "misplaced" in a lower tier league at the beginning of the season.

I always liked the way warcraft 3 ran their ladder. Everyone is in the same 'pool' and the ladder lists the top 500 players online. The players profile will show their ranking, if ranked at all that is. The whole division things seems a little complicated.

It's loner, a Chinese player that plays for Team China, according to Artosis.
Lee Jae Dong proved that a focus on mechanics and execution could solve problems in the StarCraft game strategy.

That is the wrong question. The right question is: How can we help Blizzard make bnet2 even better then iccup, and maintain an united community for SC2?

This happened to me as well. I was stuck in Bronze all before the previous reset, constantly playing plats, and now I'm stuck in Gold, same deal. My last 15 games against plats rank 10-25. I don't win em all, but it's clear I'm in the wrong division. The matchmaking works fine - it's the division jumps that don't work for everyone.

I would agree with you, if these were complicated problems. These are not complicated problems. There is no creative solution when blizzards goals are different than the community's. Blizzard isn't allowing lan play and it's wasting the time of competitive players with an enigmatic feel-good ranking system.

Oh - and sorry for double post but I thought I'd share this - the promotions seem to be based on # of games played. A friend of mine got promoted to Platinum right after he lost a game. Obviously had been playing at a higher level then finally hit # of games required to to check what league he fits in and he still qualified despite having just lost a game.
