List the league your in and how you got there, Im getting my ass handed to me on a silver platter in
1vs1 Placement matches Won 3 Lost 2 Started in Siilver ----> Gold League rank 30
2vs2 Placement matches won 3 lost 2 Started in Gold ---->Platinum league rank 17

The thing is I believe I really don't belong in Platinum league, the whole point and division system is in a bit of a shambles right now.I'm guessing it will even out over time with things just being up in the Air right now after launch.

Share your experiences and where you are in the league right now
 
My guess is that it will eventually even out.

Did quite a few custom practice games to warm up. Went 5-0 and in platinum. Platinum/Gold opponents seem about right to me. Since I dont get to play much, in time bronze players will start whipping me soon!
 
Well I've had better luck with the gold league in 1vs1 lately(working towards the 5wins streak acheivement and the 50 league wins portrait), but the the matchups or still very innacurate.I've played people from silver league who were amazing, and some really bad Plat players.

I've found a favourite new pastime though.Playing Terran in 4vs4 random games and just harassing non stop with Nukes and Banshee(with cloak).Good Fun ;)
 
I got placed in bronze league and got promoted to silver and now gold... at first I was getting owned quite badly until I "got my game up" so to speak... I personally like the leagues and think the learning curve is steep at times but lately I find myself matched against opponents at the more or less skill level.

I'm having a lot of GG's of late, having so much fun...... too much fun TBH, I'm not playing my other games! or paying any attention to work, studies and gfriend :D
 
I dont play the 1v1 too much, but been put in the bronze league. At first the bronze league were quite challenging and opponents knew what they were doing, now if I get the chance to play 1v1 I am pitted against slightly favored and favored players that know absolutely nothing of the game...
I love the 3v3 and 4v4 games, started both in silver now gold. I really do think I need to get a bit more consistent partners though as the random leagues can be frustrating at times, being placed with people playing their normal 1v1 games...
 
Started out in the Silver league. Worked my way up to top end platinum now. It really gets hard when you get to top Plat/low Diamond. Eish.
 
Character name: Myboomstick
Character Code: 773
League: 1v1 Platinum 36th
 
Got placed in Silver off the bat and eventually got moved up to gold last night... Im only really losing to Terran at the moment... The lack of a early Marauder counter for Protoss is seriously starting to annoy me.

By the way, when I got moved up to gold there were only 2 people in my division and then after about 15 minutes it was full so I dunno what makes the system decide to create new divisions or how it works but it seems that if enough people need to be moved up then it caters for that...

Is it possible to move down a league? If you're getting owned? Just curious.

Yes, I believe if your getting wtfpwned for a while your moved down a rank
 
To counter early marauders just get some sentries and block off your ramp until you can get out an immortal

yeah thats pretty much what I've been doing but it just sucks cos by that time your opponent can change his strat quickly and if hes got marines he just has to focus fire down your immortals.
Im not saying its unbeatable Im just saying its annoying cos practically every Terran player is exactly the same. Every game you gotta tech to Colossus/High templar at least because early gate units are just useless against MMM... The ironic thing is that Zealots are listed as "STRONG" against marauders but they are completely owned by them with concussion shells...

Charge = Gateway, Cyber, Citadel, Charge research for 200/200
Concussion shells = Barracks + TechLab, Research for 50/50 ( I may be wrong, not a Terran player )



And then on top of that they get stim packs too?

<EDIT> haha sorry I just realised this isnt a strategy discussion thread, my bad! :)

Go wild with the stats! There is no Starcraft 2 section so this is all we got right now.

I've modyfied my build order to such an extent that Vs terran I dont even bother with zealots(Since reapers and marauders rape them with half decent Micro).An early vesp with a rush Cybernetics core and a few stalkers blocking base entrance in a defensable position on the ramp with high ground advantage with a photon cannon or two usually wards of most early marauder attempts.Its what happens after that which is a problem for me.

Remember stalkers are a temporary solution as Marauders are strong vs armoured units....

I;ve lost 8 games in a row now in gold,Man things are getting so tough right now!

don't worry, those rough patches come.... I usually try and check out replays of the race I'm losing against. I found of late that a good Zerg just r4pes me, they can get really insane when someone knows how to play them
 
Ive actually been playing alot vs. terran the past few days and the best part about it is that since all of them have done exactly the same thing every game, Ive just been perfecting my counter to it haha. Getting an Observer into their base is essential and then you can just take shots off with a colossus from a distance because of the vision the observer provides, then when they come running out you just fry them on the way down the ramp. MMM (Marines , Marauders, Medivacs ) is a very strong build especially if caught out of position, they can just decimate your entire army. Marauders can focus fire down your colossus so quickly and any gateway units dont stand a chance either. I think the most important thing when going against a Terran players MMM is to keep track of where he is and position yourself correctly to take it down. Ive hardly been losing to Terran at all now :)

I agree with Joy-Energiser, when playing against Terran its almost a given to go 1 gate + cyber because if he gets a reaper into your base before you have your first stalker then its pretty much gg.

Oh and remember kids - Chrono boost, Chrono boost, Chrono boost!!!
 
I won 6 out of 7 practice league 1/1 games.... got a little windgat and skipped it.
Lots most of my placement matches and now i`m bronze
