@Exotic: most likely not just depends on how much the ppl play i guess

@CylonKiller: It's not about the win streak but your opponent, you can and win 6 games against higher league opponents and get promoted. Look at your matches, if you are all higher league than you, you should be promoted soon. If you ranked 3rd and still only playing same league players, you need to keep it up :)

@hydra: must've been a challenge for you to type that comment.

@LLAMAMiLK: It is possible to go up a League during the placement match. This is due to the fact you cant change leagues during the Season lock. If you managed to pass the level needed to get into the next league during the season lock, you will be awarded after your placement match.

@Marinevibrio: Says the Terran :)

@Marinevibrio: The game is balanced , you just have to keep learning and not get stuck into bad habits. So many players get stuck in silver and gold because instead of improving basics, they work on only one or two builds, or try to come up with all ins, etc. Watch some games, learn how to play certain situations, and before you know it things that seem unbalanced now will disappear.

@Marinevibrio: Learn to macro before you rage about a race being imba, I play random, no race is imba so stop crying

@Marinevibrio: maybe you just suck, i'm terran and recently went on a 30 win streak

@Deus: lmao man that really sucks. All i can really say is keep trying. Not much, but, what can you do?

@Deus: If your skill truly reflects being platinum you should be able to coast through your next 10 matches easy and it will move you up.

@Deus: Dude, that happened to me last season. Top 50 gold, beat a plat in placement, demoted to silver. wtfmate?

@Deus: I'm not entirely sure about this, but I'm fairly certain (and correct me if I'm wrong, I don't know how often you play), but I think a part of getting into certain leagues is how frequently you play. If you don't play often I think they'll place you in lower leagues.

@Vindicta: The amount of games that you play has nothing to do with what league you get promoted into.... the only thing that matters is your skill level and the skill level of the opponents you beat/loose to!

@SlayerOfZerg: no matter in what league you are there will always be cheese in the last GSL code S final the last game was a cheese taht won the game. You need to have a good build and if you have it you should be able to defend versus any kind of cheese search teamliquid.com if you are having trouble with a certain cheese and learn how you are suposed to react. Also dont think you are going to win the game at 11 think of it as a push but you must have a followup plan if the attack is not successful.

@TheChosenOne: Well thats what i meant but it usually wins the game at 11 so unless i am playing terran, i never really worry past 11 to 12 minutes. Thanks for the advice by the way i plan to go there as soon as possible.

@SlayerOfZerg: Another thing to consider is I've learned the hard way that the exact same strategy doesn't work for every game you do; so find different strategies from MMM that work for you for other things (that doesn't always include cheese)!

@LGIrA: That's impossible!

@Pointy: It tok me 7 seasons! :)

@Pointy: I've had a few seasons where I was trying pretty hard. I got to the point last season where I was beating multiple mid masters in a row and a top 25 now n then. Then i lost to 6 masters in a row and lost confidence. The bad thing about it is you want to practice but when you lose a couple games in a row things normally go bad but when you think your on the cusp of a promotion you just want to hit find game so badly.

in other words, its pretty darn hard, at least if you do it straight up macro style like ive been trying to. i definitively need to learn to 1 base better because sometimes its the appropriate response.

alot of kids will tell you how easy it was and to them i say good for you but my natural skills are not in multitasking. i'm best at concentrating on one specific thing. i thrive on that. i think thats why i like sc2, it forces me to do something im not naturally good at and is therefore challenging and rewarding when i succeed.

sorry to rant lmao

@Motion: Getting masters took me two seasons. It actually doesn't require much multitasking. Be confident, all im saying.

go into the game expecting to win
