 A few days later, I play one game, win it and BAM, there it is: direct promotion from gold to diamond  You can imagine the banana grin!Nowadays, I'm a high diamond player. I play like 4 hours a week, so I'm having trouble to get to masters yet... Maybe one day! | ||

My placement matches put me into platinum. Won 90% of my matches till I was high diamond. Think my masters game was a ffe cannon rush into 6 gate. | ||

On topic, I was playing 2v2 silver random. I got completely owned (by cheese) by gold level players, the first I played. Then I beat 2 bronze players and got promoted to gold. I then won 3 games in a row =O I was playing my 3v3 placement match. I was expecting to be demoted from platinum to gold, because my 11-6 record was reallllllly badddd. I proceed to get crushed and get promoted to diamond. It was a What the f.... moment. I immediately played my 4v4 placement match, crushed the other team and got promoted from platinum to diamond. | ||

) I placed in silver, which was in the middle back then. Then I shared the acc with a friend and we 6 pooled our way into plat xD (the highest league). Thats actually why I picked zerg in the first place )'_'(Then I switched over to baneling busting all terrans. Nobody knew of that strat back then, so I won all my zvt's back then  I feel so evil now  Since then I've always been in the highest league within a few games I guess thats a good thing, but I don't get to feel the joy of being promoted | ||

copper (beta) -> silver (retail) -> gold -> silver -> gold -> plat -> gold -> plat -> diamond (when it was still the highest league, yay) -> plat -> gold (epic losing streak after playing customs only for 2 weeks) -> plat -> diamond -> plat I feel playing customs is highly detrimental to ladder performance. Always got demoted from diamond after trying to improve on some builds in customs only for about a week. Thats a pity, since I felt customs are much nicer for improving macro play, since people tend to practice their builds more instead of just trying to bust your behind with the fastest cheese available. | ||

Then one day I fast expand vs a terran, he brings a super weak marine attack which I shut down... then a few minutes later he comes up after me with stimmed marauders and a couple ghosts (?), which my speedlings take care of without too much effort. Major WTF afterwards as I got a masters promotion for it. Checked the guy's record and he was mid level masters, I guess he thought I'd go roaches and he would plow through them with marauders and snipe or something, lol. | ||

My promotion into gold was after the placement match for season two. Actually i didn't want to ladder so i asked a friend of mine to play a custom game. But he answered he just started a ladder game. So I thought i would ladder too. Only to get matched up with my friend. Instantly in the game he starts to curse and after i scouted, i saw he hadn't picked his actual race and i got an easy win after a proxy rax marine all in which I held. After the game he told me his roommate played on his account and switched races. | ||

.... and until further notice, silver is where I belong. My macro is terrible and my micro is worse. After watching all the GSL seasons, I know how the game SHOULD be played, but it's too hard mechanically. After playing the first game or two my hands usually start shaking like i'm a 90-year old trying to drink tea. :D | ||

Did some research and worked out how the mmr system works along with the promotion system. Stopped laddering at 12/12 and began to play 1v1 xel naga custom matches via the 'find match'. Did xel naga customs against bronze-diamonds untill I was at plat level, then started laddering again. Got my mmr to plat average within 10 games, consequently was promoted to plat once the new season began. | ||
