Diamond for 8 seasons now. At least I played 400 games this season which is decent but could have played more. Don't think I'll ever get to masters no matter what I do though. Even without time constraints I don't know if I could ever make it. I think starting RTS at 26 really limits how good you can get at it.
Pretty sure Nestea is older than 26, hes "fairly" successful =P

I have an average of like 4 games every 2 days, and I'm mid masters. I was gold in January. Not wunderkind.

How many points do you need to guarentee a promotion next season?
Right now im standing at rank 1 diamond, with 935ish points, I play mostly high diamond and masters players, think ill have a shot? Just play your heart out, leave nothing to chance. Well I was considering playing badly, but your post saved me! I have seen in the past some numbers blizzard provided for near guarenteed promotions, but I cant find them -.-, are all seasons the same length/ will old numbers be applicable to this season? 900 is the diamond to masters for NA based off that post, but its not an accurate post anyway. I got promoted like 2.5 weeks ago at 940 or so so your probably one or two wins away from a straight promotion, and almost certain for a promotion on your next season placement. I was almost a 600 point masters on promotion too, once your at the point your playing mostly masters it really is just a matter of maintaining. You are probably well into masters mmr.

lol
for some reason i capture this.

blizzard likes colossus.
and the date has been changed times.
won't be surprised they change it again

It's worth noting Blizzard mentioned awhile ago that Metropolis would be re-instated in the Map Pool as of next season.
I'm expecting TDA to be removed and Metro + the new GSL map to be introduced.
|
Another season where I played a heap of 2vs2 and 3vs3 and almost no 1vs1. I want to push to masters... And a couple of seasons ago I was starting to fight against them as a diamond player. But I can never maintain my motivation for long enough. 
|
I advanced to gold the other day which was my goal before starting school that starts today.
Was planning on playing all the time but ended up playing like 10 1v1's. I'm pretty relieved. :p

While those numbers about when you generally get promoted may be true for most, they weren't for me. I started out the season as a newcomer to Starcraft, and for the most part, RTS games in general, and naturally got placed in Bronze. It really felt like I was winning a lot, to be honest. I won a total of 114 games before I got promoted while my ladder rivals played around 50. I got promoted at about 700 points, though. That's 500 points under what Blizzard says.
Now I'm #1 in my silver league, proud of a very successful season about to come to a close. I'm currently at about 930 points, and I'm still going to play a few before the season is over, so I guess I can expect a promotion next season.
Overall it's been a fun journey that I've enjoyed tremendously, and I can't wait to move up. I may only be silver, but I really haven't pushed for anything higher because I wanted a solid progression through the leagues. I do beat all my top gold and mid-high plat friends though, so that's always a good and promising feeling. So yes, season 8 was good to me.

Hit #1 Platinum with lots of points, seeing a promotion in the horizon..
Got matched with a couple of masters, felt great.
Then played drunk and lost 18 games in a row, damn!
|
Anyone know what time it goes into effect? Morning of the 4th or night before?
|
i dont really ladder anymore, but i thought the picture was funny. why does blizzard like collosus so much, LOL
|
Well, I really wanted to make diamond before my summer vacation ended (school starts tomorrow for me) but I only ended up making top 25 Plat, which is what my realistic goal was. I had planned to ladder five+ games a day everyday for my vacation but I guess I just couldn't do it. I'm satisfied, though.
|
I wanted to make platinum, or at least get out of gold league (not go down lol) and I did. Very satisfied with how I'm playing now, my winrates are pretty good, (not right now anymore since I'm offracing as Protoss right now before the season ends, getitng to learn the race better) so this season is probably the best that I've played so far.

I have a friend who just got SC2, came in with BW experience (played Terran in BW) though who made it from Silver to mid masters in 2 weeks and has played out the rest of the season in masters.
That being said, it was with Protoss and I really think that with decent mechcanics and knowledge of the basic Protoss strategy (he had the mechcanics from BW and a good eapm coming in, just had to read some strats) on the NA server you should have no problem at least making diamond. My previously mentioned friend would play Terran for the hell of it because he did in BW and was not very good at it in sc2, lost a lot at Diamond but had no problem making Masters with Protoss (in a very short period of time). I am not saying Protoss is OP, what I am saying is that at the lower levels of the game, it it easier from what I have seen to progress through the ranks with them because they are easier to play than the other races (for those with less apm, less ability to multitask/scout properly, etc). Once you hit masters where you need to have solid apm and mechcanics with any race, it is not about how easy/hard the race to play because at that level they are all hard to play properly.

Made masters before the lock. :D
|
Ive been playing sc2 on and off for a while now, originally played zerg from bronze to top plat then quit for a couple of months. came back to play terran in my 1st season as top gold. Was hoping to get to Platinum by the end of the season but i dont think itl happen unless i get a good streak going.
Hopefully mid/top plat next season!
|
Every season for me is like, I start of as top masters and beat GM players etc. Then after awhile I get unmotivated and slowly drop down as my bonus pool expands -.-
|
I was cloooooooose to masters again. I expect to get masters next season pretty quickly. Im excited!
