Check how many points you've got, then compare to the 1v1 chart. :> | ||

I was placed into Diamond and promoted into Masters after 17 games. I think the points thing might be assuming some average case winrate/MMR gainrate. | ||

i think you wanna be promoted because you care how other people view your "skill", but if you start caring about that u will slowly get ladder fear which leads to ladder anger which leads to ladder hate which leads to the dark side of the ladder. play starcraft for yourself, not for others. stop caring about promotions, it isn't too easy untill your winrate is 100%. i request this thread be closed, please. nothing more to be said. | ||

A platinum player in NA ladder called 'JacobTheKing' was already reported in the GM maphackers thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=340614¤tpage=65#1282 I quickly checked that replay and indeed that person was maphacking. First clear occurrance happens at 7:18 game-time when he tracks opponents scout through fog of war and then intercepts it. I did not watch that replay further. Edit: also the web profile of that player has 22 wins that matches the original posters stats: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/2675172/1/JacobTheKing/ | ||

Promotions work in weird ways, this is a good general guide imo. By outperforming the rest of your league, it is possible to get promoted into a higher league. If you are in Bronze but playing against Gold players, you would expect to be promoted to Gold, but that doesn't always happen immediately. This is because the system requires a certain degree of confidence before players can be moved to a new league, otherwise they would bounce around from league to league too frequently for leagues to be meaningful. That confidence is measured in two ways: First, the player must prove that he is capable of maintaining a certain level of skill. This is done by measuring the moving average of a player's MMR. The below image should help demonstrate. When this moving average stabilizes within the confines of a division tier, a player can be promoted into that league. A player can also be instantly promoted to a league if his moving average exceeds the upper bound of that league. The second factor is a "confidence buffer" that exists between leagues. That is, if a Bronze player is only slightly better than the lowest-rated Silver players according to his moving average, that is not reason alone to promote him, even though he has crossed into the Silver MMR region. If that player slumped, he would fall right back into Bronze within a couple of games, only to return to Silver a couple of games later, making his promotion far less meaningful. Leagues are sticky, therefore the moving average must cross beyond the destination league's confidence buffer, cementing that player's position within the higher league. In the picture above, the confidence buffer is represented by the yellow glow region. Note that these are the only two factors required for promotion. Any in-game behaviors or statistics beyond winning, losing, and the opponent's MMR are not relevant to the system. | ||
