No, i was mid table in my Gold Division when i got promoted to platinum. I think, when battle.net thinks you're ready, the server will match you up constantly against players above your rank. If you're platinum you'll play against diamond, maybe up to 6 or 7 straight game. It doesnt matter if you lose 6 straight game, you'll still be matched against diamond players. During this period you need to get 1 or 2 win to get promoted. My friend just got promoted to diamond league today. He was losing 6 straight match against diamond players, then on 7th match he won and got promoted.

I got promoted from Silver to Gold league last time. But I can't cope with most of the Gold players and got relegated to Silver..
But I didn't remember about my points reset back to zero when I change league..

guys, if you want to know how to get promoted, check this out.

SC2 Ladder Analysis: Part 2

i wonder why I am against platinum player while I am placed in silver league most of the time, although I do have a surprise victory over platinum league player before but I serious doubt my capabilities there..

doesnt have to be a win to be promoted. ive proven it by promotion to diamond during beta upon a loss.

i got paired to 6 diamonds in a row, won 4 and i still didnt get promoted

a few matches for u i bet will land u on the diamond league. Wins of course..

congratulations you are on your way!

come to think bout it, i've met 11 diamonds out of my 23 ladder games (after screwing up my placement to gold LOL)

ur gold no? and a tier above gold is platinum

here proof. lol defeat.

btw in my last 2 games against favored opponent, I won and got 46 points each.

is that the highest possible point available for victory?

*sorry. tried Google. can't find much details on this.

depends on league too. for example, victories in diamond would yield maybe 10 points even with bonus pool, while a bronze victory can yield like 24 + 24 bonus or something around there.

=edit=
point being, unless ur in diamonds, i wouldnt be worrying about league points. since if ur promoted, your ladder "rankings" get reset anyways.
