It makes perfectly sense since you haven't showed that you are capable of constantly winning against Master players. It would be pretty ridiculous if everyone who beat a GM player got placed in GM.

There was no downtime nor was there a patch download, just seems to be minor tweaks to map pools which you will download upon queuing. Yes they added old maps back to the 3's and 4's

I wish you all great games and goodluck, sorry in advance for the lack of general content in the OP.

I have looked on blizzard for an offical statement and didn't find one, mods please edit when they post, currently playing

This is on the NA server.

Metropolis has sort of shown itself to be a fairly bad map balance wise and also has a tendancy to force fairly stale late games.

I think the arcade patch thing has made it so easy for blizzard to update the ladder and such. I really like that the ladder isnt interrupted during the patching of a new laddering and also introducing new maps as well as taking out old ones.

I'm Terran so I like it, and it's nomt like it would be the worst of the maps. I just want something else, I hate condemned and every other map is getting really old.

Was a former 1,000 point top silver that settled down at around 930 points at the season's end, in the top 100 silvers on the AM server (when I was in between the two at ~960). Played a game excited to finally get that promotion into gold.

Placed into low silver when I was playing and beating top golds/mid plats. Makes sense yo.

Edit - After playing 5 more ladder matches I was placed into top gold. Now at least I feel a little better.

You guys should stop looking for mistakes somewhere else, then maybe, eventually you will figure out that it's all your fault that you don't get promoted. If you can't admit that you're bad in sc2, you will forever remain bad.

I really hope I get Masters this Season as well. I started 2010 S1 in Bronze but ended in Gold. Then I went Platinum, then Diamond for the next..67 seasons? Iunno. Maybe I don't play enough, but I've been queue'd against rank 20~masters and top 8 diamonds for the longest while.. T_T

played 2 placement matches after it said i need to play 1 and still havent been placed, this is in 2v2 with a team not random, not sure whats going on here but curious if its just me. WE played plenty last season so its not that we need 5, as i said it told me i only have 1 remaining placement both before and after the 2 placement games i played.
