This is stupid, if you had 900 points in diamond you'd be the #1 diamond player on the NA server right now! (trying to get promoted to ML on NA according to the chart.)

Could this perhaps have something to do with most people reaching ~900 getting promoted to masters...?

Anyone have any word on if the date is changing or no? 8 more days might not be enough to get my 150 points..

The leap between Diamond to Master - 900 and Master to GM-level - 1400 seems far too big at the current time. Last season I ended up at 9 in my masters division and was at like 1080 points or so. I was in the top 10% of my division but only 180 out of the 500 points needed as a masters player to be "GM-level", despite top 8 masters playing GMs on a semi-frequent basis. I mean I wasn't overly high, but seemed to be nearing that mark, despite being not even halfway through the amount of points needed to be "near GM".

Hopefully I get promoted either before the end of the season or at the start of the new one. I am an EU Protoss and my current stats from the last 30 or so games are:


33 Games - 21 Wins - 12 Losses

vs. Bronze - 1 Win - 1 Loss (50% winrate)
vs. Silver - 13 Wins - 1 Loss (92.86% winrate)
vs. Gold - 8 Wins - 9 Losses (47% winrate)
vs. Platinum - 0 Wins - 1 Loss (0% winrate)

I know you need to win more against higher ranked players to get promoted but that SC2Gears MMR Plugin says that I basically have the MMR of a gold player, which explains why I'm playing against gold players more. Although I'm not beating every gold player, as you can see I'm basically owning silver players. I'm on around 620 points and rank 3 in my division.

Do you need a pole? I ask because your logical leaps are becoming logical vaults and your mental gymnastics are Olympic standard.

master to near GM is not 1400 anymore, it is way higher. the highest ranked masters players usually have 1600-1700 points mid season. I was at over 1400 points 2 weeks ago and now I am at 1400 again and I am not even top 100 masters. the data is outdated. the points needed to be promoted are way higher now at least from masters to GM.
