I am just ranked sliver, but the match making system keep making me play vs ppl in gold or plati league. Those match was a living hell. The match making system suppose to pick ppl from my league to play with me? Right? Or is there not enough SEA ppl playing sc2?

either that, or the system thinks you may be worthy for a promotion thus paired you with higher league opponents to test you.

Well, I'm in platinum in US server. I've been playing against ALL diamond players after the placement match which is quite ridiculous and ALL of them are favored and top 10 in their division. Well, i don't know how they arrange the match. But in SEA I'm already in Diamond so, no problem on getting to diamond in US also biggrin.gif

P/S : Quazacolt, I'm in Diamond already in US server. smile.gif

would it be alright to say that the system thinks the other guy may not be worthy in his diamond / platinum league, hence pit him against lower league players as a test?

Correct, especially if you're in a losing streak

This is funny. I was on a 4 losing streak. Then I won a game vs a 4 ranked gold player, after the match I was promoted to gold rank 5.. Weird..

if the 4x player losing streak you faced are way higher players (MMR, or league is concerned) and your losing difference is not much, you're actually considered "gaining MMR" instead of losing.

you may refer to the screenshot of me losing and yet promoted to diamond rofl. (yes, lost the game, not win)
