After 3 months of hard work I finally made it into Masters a few minutes ago, I'm so incredibly happy right now. YAY!
Long version!
I started playing again last December after basically a year of not touching SC2. Ran out of games to play and started playing SC2 again. Once I started I became really determined to get into Masters just to prove to myself that I can do it.
I was in Diamond before my break but was so rusty when I came back that I was quickly demoted to Platinum. Got back into Diamond about a month later and I've been grinding games ever since trying to break into Masters. I was stuck at high diamond for a long time and was starting to feel really frustrated at the game.
But I started watching Stephano and got really inspired after watching him crush one tournament after another. I think he's the player that made the most impact on me and I've since become a huge fan of him. I began to emulate his Ling/Infestor play vs Terran and all of a sudden the game became fun again.
A huge source of help to me is the zerg help me thread. I really appreciate all the higher level players helping out there. People like Belial, Blade, Darkforce etc, it's really informative reading all the posts and debates and I learnt so much from them.
And finally today after my 6th game of the day, I was promoted!
Anndddd that's my league promotion story. Hopefully I'll retain my passion for sc2 and not start drifting off to other games (*cough* D3 *cough*) just because I reached my goal of getting into Masters.
Thanks for reading!
Edit: This on the NA server. D:

I thought it was US Masters = China Masters = Korean Low Masters to High Diamond? The average Korean masters player is no that phenomenally skilled compared to an American player.

Just out of curiousity, have you played at that level? I can say with confidence (personal experience) high masters US = (high) Diamond KR.

Congratulations! Now, go own it up on KR!
|
I play on both US and KR and on US I'm high masters and or Korea I'm low masters.
|
Congratulations! I've seen you before, and good luck!

I remember when I got that message.

Basically this. Congrats though :o

Congrats! As long as you're in masters now, you can not ladder at all, play all customs, and just say you're high master but just don't ladder bc you don't have to.

Christ. There's a few of these people in every thread on this site.
Who the fuck cares how each server compares to each other. Do people expect everyone to buy 3 copies of the game just to sit atop whatever podium is the highest at a given time? He's in NA, he plays in NA - who is to say he couldn't get Master level in any other region with the hard work he's clearly willing to put in?
Why do you need to piss on someone's accomplishments with such inane trivialities? Can't you just keep that shit to yourself so the guy can enjoy the congratulations and feeling of success?
To the OP, congrats dude, I'm happy you got where you wanted to be.

He's just trying to minimize OP's achievement.
