I've started playing again for phase 2 and I got put in diamond pretty quickly and I haven't had much trouble at all yet and I'm wondering if its because people just generally aren't that good or maybe I'm decent? I haven't really gamed any top players, which is why I ask (how do the good players rate vs guys you'll find in diamond league?) ... Anyways, I'm having quite a bit of fun with SC2 so far, going to release a replay pack soon!   | ||

play your way up to diamond. This change is probably more significant but I don`t think it changed too much anyway. | ||

This change is probably more significant but I don`t think it changed too much anyway. | ||

Argo echo is a beast of a division (Idra, Tester, TT1, Whitera, Strelok, Huk, Morrow, thestc, gerrard, and more). My division isn't that competitive but I can definitely see it is better then before the reset. Rank around top 3-5 now and easily topped a crappy diamond division in phase 1. If you are really good then 400-500 should be where things get interesting. | ||

Seems kinda unfair. ^_^ | ||

Take Division Argo Echo for example. Here are some of the players in the top 20 Idra Strelok White-ra Morrow slush drewbie tt1 huk and many other good players not quite on the same level as those above. The chances of being in the top 5 of that divison are slim to none lol. | ||

You think you can be as awesome as Xeris for free? I suggest you start donating money to Xeris right now. Then he could build a site where you can pay to read his guides. Only then will you be able to achieve awesomeness. | ||

Yes, it does make more sense, but different nameless divisions inflate egos of casual players who think they are awesome, helping SC2 be more popular. | ||

But in my opinion, it's not about rank, it's about points (once you reach diamond atleast) | ||
