Beta wont be extended. They have ordered the hardware and need to get that idle hardware hooked up. If anything they will be banking on the phase 2 of the beta to get some more test in before they send out the next patch for people buying the current release.

It must be a glitch, it doesn't make sense to make it this difficult to get into diamond with only 3 days left in the beta. The time left in the beta doesn't matter as long as Diamond is hard to get into.
From blizzard's point of view, they are looking to test every change they make and with 3 days left I don't see how that's possible for them if diamond really exists.

Has anyone managed to get into diamond yet? I rather enjoy that it takes time to get into.

can't find a thread on this, but is the diamond league even around after this patch? everyone i know thats gone 5-0 is in platinum and there are people who are 20-2 records that havnt been put in diamond yet.
There's probably either a minimum MMR or people simply haven't played enough games to reach a review checkpoint while they're eligible to be promoted (people were originally getting promoted usually after what, 30-40 games?). It's also possible that review checkpoints to break into Diamond now also occur less frequently.

it's absurd how blizz is obeying the community

Just played 5 games, won 4 and got placed in Gold?

Won all my placement matches only to be placed in platinum. boo hoo
|
won 4 games got into plat as well! wonder if they increased difficulty of getting into diamond, or it could be just that placement matches are way harder just after a wipe.

yay no toss nerf this patch
|
Tanks got that +10 hp, so while they may take 1 more shot to kill a certain unit, they can take one more hit in some respects. I don't know if this forces an armory as soon as tanks are coming out to get upgraded as soon as possible, sacrifice a tank or two for armory plus weapon damage. The power of marines/tanks is pretty strong right now, I think this damage decrease might be due to the cheapness of marines. It's not just the tank damage, but it's the high rate of marine fire supplementing them that makes the tank damage stand out, 10 less damage, but a stimmed marine essentially makes up for this, it was just more devastating earlier. A nerf is a nerf when you first hear about it, but I think it'll be ok. It's going against the immortal/collossus/zealot mix I'm worried about.
And if you weren't seeing reaper rushes you certainly will now. You can already get a successful reaper harass from a nonproxied barracks on certain maps, I think a proxy on a lot of maps will be more of a threat than it is. May warrant an earlier scout in some cases. Who knows with it being so cheap it may entice people will start building them into their unit comps (ha!), the ole 5 reaper squad to hit and run production buildings on a map like LT or something.

its also possible there is no diamond?

If someone manages to enter in 3 days, they'll increase the difficulty lol I really hope that's the case and the new diamond will actually be something like A level on iccup, only the really, really good players can reach it.
lol if they made it as tough as A on ICCUP you'd have like 10 diamond players on the whole NA servers
