Why is there someone that plays team games complaining about 1v1?

Did anyone notice anything in the last two minutes of the video that PopTartSplash linked?

Why am I not surprised? I could tell he had something douchey going on.

Good find.

Title is so misleading. This is just a trick (obvious one) to be top of the league you've been playing last season nothing to do with top 8master.

Wow... This got kind of crazy. But listen iphone5. Last season I did not play 1v1s on POPTART, although i did on my other account. I went bronze to masters. Ended season with 664 points (about half earned while being in masters), over 500 BP I never got the chance to use, and 187 wins 77 losses. Every game I fast expanded. I guess my point here is, that I DO play lots of 1v1's and i work a lot harder than PROTOTYPE for my rank 52 masters, while he plays 3 games for top 8 masters. (season 6). As you so obviously pointed out in season 7 HE DIDN'T GET TOP 8! LOL! He got rank 9. Sorry about that.

For you other people I am sorry you feel that way about mKc and xS. It's true, there is a lot of cheese. For us the most fun thing in team games is to see how sick of a win/loss ratio we can get. We had a team go 151 wins to 5 losses. I do not believe any player in xS BM's, I am unaware of that. Anyways we are getting off topic. I don't know about iNiPunisher, and really I don't care. I know I do not maphack and am unaware of him doing it either.

The point being here is wether or not you cheese to get amazing win/loss records, the queue time is still incredibly long, and there are players who don't work as hard for their top 8 games, as other players do. Sure it does not effect me, but its like being laddered to gm one season and then telling people you were GM. It's simply not fair.

@Iphone5 yah sure i have it downloaded on my computer not going to deny that because its clearly there. Thing is i dont use it my brother likes to mess around with mods and stuff just to mess around i guess. If you watch my replays there is no evidence of me maphacking because i dont do it. I also dont bot on my account. Its not against game rules to have it on your computer and i definately dont use it. Ask anybody i play with and they will vouch for me and if you dont beleive them then watch my replays and you will clearly see that i do not maphack because i still miss drops and dts and stuff.

wait so basically this guy is a hacker? well that's unfair.

and also why would you wait till the last day to place? to get a shiny new thing on your profile? i worthless is that when you don't even get to ladder, considering that you would want to ladder of course. If not, go ahead.

I'm confused about the exploit where a player plays a placement match at the end of the season.

How can you guarantee that he will be put into a new division that is mostly empty? Why would the division he get put into be mostly empty?

Also, in order to get placed into Masters after 1 placement match, he needs to have a Masters level MMR. So unless it's shown that he illegitimately got a Masters MMR, which you haven't, how then is this abuse?

He will be placed in the latest created division (all the old ones are full) with other players who joined just before him.
I guess it takes some time for a new division to fill up,or to be promoted/degraded into a different tier division of the same level.
And if you join just before end season, there has not been time for it to fill up, its filled with a few players who all only have a few games because they joined not that long ago.

(not sure, just a guess)

He must have at least master mmr,also dont realy see how this is abusing annything:s
Its just easier to get a high rank in a new division with few people i guess.

It always made me laugh to play against top master players which had only played this season.
"Hi i'm going to buy a new sc2 account only to rape noobs and easily win points so I can get this extremely important shiny star on my master icon".
That's so sad and stupid to feel so concerned about this sc2 ladder >_<

It's only a icon , it doesn't affect the level of players you are matched against , MOST people don't care if you were rank 1 masters or 99. If you really care about those icons ... here is a hint GET BETTER AT THE GAME , get GM rank 1 and then you can wank at it not at a top 8 masters icon

this is nothing there is no trick he is just using a smurf account in 4v4 teams, wouldnt work in 1v1 because its 1v1, joining late in the season will get you in a joke devision for sure but you have to not play for the whole season to achive this and rank means nothing so aslo this is useless, nice post and thourogh but there is nothing in here that does anything new or useful, no offense.

The problem with queue times has been known about for a long time, mainly in 2v2 but also 1v1. A lot of players get muliple accounts or play with new people all the time to reduce the queue time. It does mean that you usually go against weaker players though :/ still, nothing new about it

NA happens to be one of the easiest regions to get Grandmaster in T_T. Instead of QQing about trivial icons, we need to step it up! :D

It will still work. there is no way to maintain an even spread of skill and activity across all division if you are not moving players midseason. So playing in the last season before the ladder closes will still give you a high rank, if you care about that, which is ridiculus.
