Scouted, he's terran, his mother fucking hellion harass just gets my lings and i only had 2 spines up. That sets me really far behind/contains me, so im finally doing aight, beat his first push with a handful of lingsand 7ish mutas left. Then theres another push the same size and he kills my 3rd for the 2nd time and my 4th, i GG out. Rank 10 plat, 6 ranks higher than before! fuck | ||

Then season 3 I played my 1 placement and lost horribly to a 6 pool, and got put into Masters. After not playing for like 3 weeks before that. Was not really expecting that, and I thought it was pretty funny. | ||

So I started my placement match, it was a PvT on Shattered Temple. Pretty standard game if I remember, but I eventually won. He left the game, I went to score screen to see my results. It put me in gold league. I checked his rank, he was platinum. So I beat a plat player and consequently got demoted to gold. WTF Blizzard. | ||

Check if he is on a losing streak, his mmr was probably plat during his placement but subsequently dropped. | ||

Your MMR was gold-league level, possibly because you didn't ladder much and/or you were in the low range of your plat league (MMR-wise, not necessarily corresponds with division rank). The single game you played for your new-season-placement is inconsequential, since your MMR carries over between seasons. For 99% of the players it doesn't matter if they lose to a bronze leaguer or beat a GM in that single placement match, as their MMR already solidly fixes them in a certain league. | ||

Tell us your demotion story after the switch! :3 (seriously did someone make it into a higher league without dropping in MMR like crazy or a demotion?) I started as silver and got promoted to gold within the first season. Then in next season I played a bit and before its end I lost a match against a silver level random player and I loled so hard because that match promoted me into plat xD I was so frustrated... but then... 1. He was random... meh frustrating to lose someone who isn't really specialized... 2. ZOMG I got promoted to plat?! FOR A LOSE?! 3. HE WAS ACTUALLY A SILVER LEAGUER?!?!?!?!?! I wrote this guy that I got into plat after losing to him and excused for BMing him (I was a terrible person back then) :3 | ||

Spawned as Protoss on cross position Metalopolis against a Terran who proceeded to execute the slowest 1-1-1 without banshees (Medivacs instead) that I've ever seen. By the time he hit I was comfortably sitting on two bases with Charge Zealots with Plus one armor, and Archons. Needless to say I crushed his push and pretty much had the game in the bag from there. I find it hard to believe the guy was actually mid diamond but oh well. | ||

Today I played my placement (ZvP on Nerazim Crypt) and won a game with Roach/Hydra/Corrupter against Colossus/VR/Zealot/Stalker. Promoted into a newly formed Platinum division, marking the highest I've been in 1v1. I'm pretty happy but I want to climb and get to Diamond before season 4 ends! | ||

I go out towards his gateway with 3zealot to find out that he's cannon pushing right next to my main.I had been following his probe but it turns out he sent another one. I end up losing cuz I didnt make cannons in time. Still got placed into master but its a harsh way to start the season Harsh indeed. PvP can be rough. | ||
