I started Sc2 during mid season 7 and finished 4th of Platinum, then this season im currently sitting in the top 10 of Diamond, which was my goal. Im starting to play with master from time to time in ladder so I guess that achieving Master during season 9 is an easy goal.
people put way too much importance on what rank they finish. More often than not, finishing top 8 just means you played more than most people in your league or let their bonus pool get high so that they get the most benefit from it.
Download SC2gears and the MMR plugin, that is a far better indicator of where you rank than what rank you are in your league. For instance, I am top 25 dia on both US and EU, actually higher ranked on EU than US and my MMR is lower on EU than US and my KR server account is just about on the line to make plat and I'm actually rank 13 gold (just got promoted today after goin 5-0 in placement and being put in silver last week). Seriously, this whole "high/mid/low" X League thing is silly..... until you hit master all people need to know is "i am in X league, playing against mainly X league players" or "my MMR is xxxx"

few days ago it said the season would end on september 1st -.- !

I started playing seriously early july, and got from mid silver to top 8 diamond, for a bit. Now school started though, and 18 units and starcraft don't mix 
|
Trying to get to rank 1 plat before season ends.. Hopefully I'm good enough!

I've finally made it into Master league after really starting to play as a Silver player this January. Let's see when I'll hit GM. :D How much you play per day? 10h or? I have an average of 6 games per day. So maybe 2 hours or so. I'm just in my last high school year, so I'm in school until 3 o'clock most of the times. So I can hardly play much more. erm... that seems hardly possible. You must be some kind of Wunderkind.
Are you joking, it's really not that difficult.
I have about 700 1v1 wins (in 2 years time, yeh i'm a slacker) and I'm mid masters, Starcraft II being the first RTS I've ever played.
Just a matter of how quick you are able to learn stuff.

I thought season was locked.. got promoted to masters. Sigh, bye-bye top8 diamond lol

This has been a long ass season. Last season was barely 2 months as far as I can remember.

People put way too much emphasis on what rank one begins at and what one ends up as. It means nothing without context. For example, I started in silver league, this May, and was in masters after a month. Why did I start in silver league? Probably because I had no idea what the units were or how the game was played. I didn't play the campaign. I didn't play any practice league. I just jumped into playing my placement matches. But, if I played practice league first, I probably would have started in plat or diamond. With a BW background, there was little reason for that improvement to not happen. Context is everything.

This season...I played more than I have previously...still not 100% focus tho, but I got to diamond, pretty happy
