I am in Bronze. 1v1. I beat about 4 silver players just now with ease - ranked. Still bronze... says I'm rank 2, it's been on 'rank 2 ' for a month now. wtf. Anyways, I played some guy today who clearly was pro - but he was still doing his 5 game placements. Is there a way I can re-do my 5 game placements? Desperate to get out of bronze. | ||

also remember that your opponents are determined by mmr not league. | ||

Impressive. I'll keep on fighting then. Thanks. Thanks guys. I'll keep on playing. Also - I am rank 2 - does that mean I am close to silveR? | ||

There is no direct relationship between division rank and how close you are to silver, it mostly depends on how active the players in your division are. Still, if you are an active player and ranked highly, it is quite likely that you are close to promotion. | ||

Not necessarily. Ranking in your division is based on your points, while promotion is based on your hidden mmr. Because bonus pool exists, the players at the top of a division are the ones who simply play enough to spend all their bonus pool, regardless of their mmr. Especially in lower leagues where there are likely more inactive players. For example, someone with a 10-0 record will be ranked under someone who is 53-57, because the first guy will still have 300pts of bonus pool still stocked up, but he will still probably have the higher mmr and will be closer to a promotion. | ||

66.67% is winning 2 games for every loss - you don't have to be nearly that good for your MMR to rise fast | ||

If you should be Silver you'll get promoted. Worrying about it seldom helps. | ||

To start over again u need to sit entire season without playing playing solo ranked Where are you getting this nonsense from? You get promoted when your MMR rises above the boundary of the next higher league. That's it. Why do people keep coming up with these complicated rituals to explain league placement when the League and Ladder guide has been pinned in this forum for four years? | ||

I swapped to terran this season and my tvz winrate is abysmal (it was at %14 last time I checked) so I always get placed vs bronze and silver zergs, but all my other matchups are vs other gold players in my league. Like everyone said, just play more, 4 games is nothing, go play 50. | ||

Still bronze... says I'm rank 2, it's been on 'rank 2 ' for a month now. wtf. It's called the "bronze rank 2 bug". It's not even possible to reach rank 1 of your division. | ||

Blizzards placement is incredibly good, I think it even compensates for your matchup %'s. I swapped to terran this season and my tvz winrate is abysmal (it was at %14 last time I checked) so I always get placed vs bronze and silver zergs, but all my other matchups are vs other gold players in my league. Didn't used to, i sat at ~30/70 PvT, 70/30 PvZ for hundreds of games at the end of WOL | ||

Granted, spinal fluid of a mule deer is hard to come by. But, I feel you can't mention the virgin goat WITHOUT mentioning the spinal fluid. Further, you don't need to be blindfolded until AFTER the talons have been bound. Hah, otherwise that's just a big mess waiting to happen. Lot of good starcraft players end up minus their index fingers due to that one. Definitely a rookie move. | ||
