Sure I won 3 out of 5 placement matches, but that doesn't mean I have SKILL.  Two of them were one using  the trick where you build a pylon in the enemies base, then start mass producing Photon Cannons.  The third win was "fair and square" and I won using a squadron of Vikings. 
 
But yeah, I don't think I should be in the Gold League. We'll see how long this silliness lasts before I'm in Copper where I belong. I'm expecting to be thoroughly trounced in the next proper match.
