Wouldn't you know it, last night of all nights, I played a whole 3 Terrans in about 30 matches. I started at 2500pts in master (ranked ~40th in my division), and I FINALLY got demoted to Diamond at the end of the night... Though surprisingly I had only made it down to about 65th place... Demotion is possible, but takes a lot from what I can tell =p | ||

Just like there are plats that may be better than the bottom diamonds, I'm sure there is a gray area between the master league and the diamond league. I've never played a plat that plays like a good diamond or a diamond player that i thought should be a master league player. I think things would be more clear if you explain your situation. Maybe you are a good diamond getting tested vs. master league players or you are the master league player testing out the "to-be-promoted" diamond players. This is especially true for diamonds and plats at the moment if you take a step back and realize that any plat who gets promoted to diamond is going to be promoted in at about 2450 today (if they've used all of their bonus pool). This means that if you take a plat player who is just a couple games away from promotion, they are probably significantly better than a 2200-2300 diamond player who has used up all of their bonus pool (assuming they are in the same tier). | ||

My first analysis thread actually directly referenced that Best Buy livechat with Dustin Browder where he cited 30 games before a promotion, but that was corrected once we found conflicting evidence. That doesn't mean he was lying, though. Remember that when that live chat took place, the beta was still going on and they were still several weeks out from release. Maybe the system changed and they instead chose to take promotions on a more granular level. Maybe the 30-game requirement only applied in the initial week or two of the ladder, when the league separations weren't very well established. There are many possibilities, but we know that's not how it works presently. whats going on with the top200 ? | ||

It's using a different calculation this week that we still haven't figured out. At first it was incorrectly being sorted by spent bonus pool, and it's since been updated with a new list. We still don't know how it's being ranked, but supposedly it has something to do with bonus pool as related to points. | ||

Lost a game. Won a game and went into master league ^^ I did not expect it but when I think about it almost all the players I played had a lot highter rating and more games played. This is still true I have not played anyone with less then 2000 while I have 1600 | ||

How many games had you played in the previous week? Perhaps it still hasn't registered you as an "active" player and also you may be waiting for your check in to get promoted since the system checks at irregular intervals after all. | ||

Note: just having that many points doesn't mean you are about to be promoted; besides the division offsets, there are quite a few people who have that many or more points but still haven't gotten promoted for at least several days now. Edit: I think it was 36 hours, but I actually don't keep track of it that often, so the timing might be a little off. Please don't take that figure to try and do any analysis off it (like promotions/day or whatever). | ||

You don't have to be active for the system to promote you. The 2% top active players will dictate the boundaries for masters, then if you are inactive all you have to do is breaking the boundary for half these master players (the top 1% then). If what I understand about the system is correct... it might not be 100% correct ^^ | ||

I really do not understand master league, theres people with good winrates and 3k+ points on diamond that are not getting promoted, just take a look at sc2ranks and order by winrate or points, and it wont make any sense for a LOT of promotions we've seen. User was warned for this post | ||

While I'm sure we all would love if blizzard just told us how the ladder system works, the whole idea behind it is that isn't transparent. The one thing that we do know that is that it DOES work. Just the fact that win percentages in the higher leagues tend to hover around 51-52% speaks for itself imo | ||
