I would like to know if anyone has been able to get diamond after their placement matches because i DEMOLISHED my 5 opponent and got placed in platinium.

If they changed the way the placement matches works and that you have to work your way to diamond i would be so happy. No more noobz sitting in diamond!

Yeah, there were two other threads on this that were just disappeared.. it seems you have to earn your way into Diamond and can't just place into it any more.

Great change that we've all been asking for =). Chat channels next?

Holy shit! If that's the case then diamond league is the real deal in competition. You won't randomly run into half-assed noobs anymore. All your opponents will be decent!

Yess! This sounds great! What I imagined diamond to be was above what platinum was previously, it sounds like now it may be that way .

yes this is very nice but lets remember u can only work your way up to diamond league. that means you only have 1 league to move up to. i would like to see it harder to make platinum and diamond league. i think placement should be gold at highest. that way theere would be more on bronze silver and gold. and less on platinum and diamond

I'm happy for this change, unfortunately... I'm not happy for it right now though because I just got six pooled, when I was going to try tester's 12-15 double gate. Oh well, beta ends soon enough anyways... Time to try new strats in plat or gold, whichever one I end up in.

it just depends on what "skill" players you beat in your placement matches i can imagine if its 5x bronze you wont get diamond

3/5 of my apponents where rly bad tough the other 2 kinda medioker i had no troubles at all winning these matches yet im diamond

so this is deffinatly not changed

I was a solid Diamond before reset. Just went 2-3 in placement matches and got placed in Bronze, hahaha. It is a dark day indeed for my sc2 career.

First game I accidentally picked Terran. Having played under 10 games as T, I thought it wise to go for something I couldn't possibly screw up like 3 rax marauders. Well, I screwed it up by mining too much gas, waiting too long to attack, allowing speedlings to flank me and having absolutely nothing prepared for mutas.

Played a ZvT in which Terran opened with 6 hellion harass into banshees. :/ Goodbye drones.

Finally, got straight up outplayed in a ZvZ baneling war.

Last two losses were to fairly good diamond players, but it's still a bit humiliating to be getting a taste of Bronze. xD

I agree with it being a good change. 4-1 placed me in Gold, I tried to baneling bust and the guy knew how to deal with it and wall off properly (in placement matches who would've thunk it). I haven't been in Gold since I first started Beta.
