Maybe, after people did their placement matches for Season 2, and got their rank, and stopped laddering.
After being marked as inactive, the system wants to balance out the divisions again.

nothing hes said has remained a rumor and definitely has not been nonsense. i think hes earned the credibility by simply providing us with information that almost always turns out to be true.

Have you even read his entire analysis? I don't see how anyone could be a disbeliever after actually reading it. Maybe you just didn't understand it all.

Hmm... I was in Gold and playing (and winning) against Plat players so I was expecting to get it soon. Then I got it last night and was pretty excited, but now this feels like it's cheapened my promo a bit in my mind

Excalibur is MVP on the battle.net forums as far as I recall.
That and why would one state otherwise?

Also, is this only team leagues or 1v1 as well? I'm Diamond rank 8 and I didn't get promoted D:

his reputation/analysis/whatever has nothing to do with this rumour/fact at all. before anyone can really put some facts together (either from Blizz or actual stats from reliable source), i believe that i am legit to say that this is a nonsense/humour.

btw, i am in eu, i havent heard/seen anything about mass promotion, so please, take your disbeliever some where else. i have no offense or disbeliever or whatever negative attitude towards anyone here okay.

as far as i can tell, i can open a thread like this anytime during the season and people will come in and tell you 'oh 3 of m8 get promoted too! mass promotion!'. alot of promotion/demote happens all the time.

His analysis and commentary on this stuff has been viewed by the community as pretty definitive since before release, and his MVP status in the Blizzard forums suggests that they've noticed and want to encourage this.

I'd guess that Blizzard's thought process is that the type of detail that Excalibur_Z puts into his threads is way, way more technical than they'd ever want to put out there themselves, so they give him nudges to keep him on the right track rather than offer their own thick, mathematically laden document on how the SC2 ranking system works.

As for this current issue, Excalibur_Z has implied that he has specific information that the league boundaries changed. Absent that, I might have also wondered whether this might either be a result of a large shift in inactivity from people who came back after the reset dropping back out of the game (as someone above suggested) or alternatively some kind of correction for promotions that might otherwise be dictated by existing league boundaries not happening in a timely fashion.

Excalibur_Z: I'm guessing you are pretty certain those two possibilities are not the cause of this recent shift. Can you blink once for yes, twice for no?

Fair enough. I read this thread and checked my silver division's status immediately. The top 8 or 10 players all had been promoted out except for me, probably because I haven't played the last few days.

This is consistent with the impression that it's mostly a bronze/silver/gold rearrangement.

Anddddd ... I played one game and went from rank 1 silver to rank 6 gold. Yes, the boundaries have shifted, or they're catching up on promotions or something.
