EPTI won the first 2 games facing the same guy who does not know how to build Immortals, the 3rd vs someone who dropped upon starting, the 4th by proxy, and the 5th vs someone who's probably silver.

I was on a horrible losing streak pre last reset and was sitting on the bottom of Plat. Finally won and was like yea, it's turning around, then I get the message that I'm being demoted to Gold. Didn't make sense. | ||

maybe your experiment can bring us some light about laddering system instead. | ||

Then I went 5-0 in Gold and was promoted to platinum. exact same thing happened to me, but the cheese was in a zvz, this was before last reset though, and now I'm just trying new crazy builds... | ||

I did have some disconnects early on after my internet crapped out though (guess my record was like 14-12 due to discs), but still... seems kind of excessive to have to win like 15-16 games to counteract 3 drops and a couple of losses. And some people skip silver straight to platinum? I envy you. >_> I guess I did pick a moderate skill level for my placement matches... which was probably a good idea, because when I started playing it didn't feel natural at all. | ||

I know that if you select beginner it puts you in 5 practice matches on novice maps with a slower game speed then puts you in the 5 placement on normal maps. I get the feeling that the placement matches put you up against a Silver in your first game, then every time you win or loose it put you up against an opponent one league higher or lower respectively for the following placement match and repeat. Or something very similar to this. I assume that if you choose advanced it will put you up against a Gold player initially. All speculation, but it seems to fit with how I feel my opponents have faired in skill after watching the replays. | ||

Didn't make sense. it's simple, you're not at the platinum level. play me, dawg, and you'll be way outta your league. | ||
