Official "Where did you get placed after reset?" Thread
It was possible to place in diamond before. That's what I did, then dropped to plat when I stopped playing for a month :(
" For some people this will probably only show after a couple of games since you cannot be placed above platinum league by your placement match, right? At least that's how it worked before I think. "I forgot about that. =\
If that is true, looks like I'll still be in plat. Everyone I play is in diamond though Q______Q
I don't seem to have been reset. I thought there was gonna be another placement match post-match, but that never happened.I'm in the same league, same position as I was before.
" @Fallen189 said:Oh great, thanks dude. Does it take into accoutn any of my previous stuff? I can't see how 1 match determines all the league stuff.Just one match. It's intended to eliminate people who are totally inactive. Like people who stopped playing 2-3 weeks after release." I'm on the EU ladder. Will I have to replay placements? "
@imsh_pl: Ah, right. That makes sense. "
" @Thule said:Yes, you keep your MMR." @Fallen189 said:Oh great, thanks dude. Does it take into accoutn any of my previous stuff? I can't see how 1 match determines all the league stuff.

Since the ladder can't demote you for being inactive, the players who got lucky with their placement matches just occupied the spots which could've been taken by more active players from the lower leagues. You then had shenanigans like a person with 300 wins being in bronze, while they were propably much better than the incative players from the higher leagues.
The one placement match will not only automatically get rid of all these players who haven't been playing the game for the past few months, but it will also check the actual skill of all the active players as well. Even if you lose your placement match, if you're a good player you'll still be able to sail through the lower leagues pretty easily.
Your MMR rating - which is used to determine what players you face - will stay the same. So, even if you lose the placement match, the game will still match you with players based on your season 1 accomplishments as well.
I think the bonus pool will be reset, but I'm not really sure of that.
Probably tomorrow, europe gets patches and stuff like that wednesdays, WoW style" Europe hasn't been reset yet. Don't know why. "

Has to be reset, otherwise people that didn't spend their bonus pool before the patch have a advantage points wise.
I went from plat to gold unfortunately. I went on a terrible losing period right before the reset :(. Oh well, I can have that great feeling of being promoted one more time.
I was gold, lost my placement, and was put in Platinum!
Actually this is not a surprise since I was playing mainly platinum dudes when the ladder was locked at the end of last season.
It was a bit silly. One of the people I played was doing their placement, I beat them while in platinum, and they got placed into Diamond.
@tunaburn: Nice!
Still in Platinum. I demolished my placement person. I did a nice techswitch from Colossi into HTs with mass 3/3 chargelots and absolutely destroyed his pure marauder/viking army (he had easily 30 vikings or more). I finally am getting my style of PvT back. I used to use robo only for observers and use double stargate phoenixes with templars and zealots. Now if I can keep this up things might go better for me.
I'm going to bet there will be a lot of promotions for the near future as the higher leagues are being cleared out of inactive players.
I was worried my placement would be another stupid PvP like I was matched with all night last night and ruined my chances of getting placed in diamond. SCREW PVP.
I will play only in early night or before in placement games. Late hours will have far better players online.
Got placed in Platinum.
I lost to a Gold zerg; instead of taking advantage of him FEing ant taking a fast expo myself, I decided to attack with 2 zealots, 2 stalkers and 2 sentries. I then wasted my forcefields and my macro slipped incredibly; after the failed attack he just streamed zerglings into my base.
Damn, I was in gold, I lost and now I'm still in gold. I haven't played Starcraft 2 in a long time and I hoped I could get to a lower league. I suck now so gold players kick my ass so much.
I can't get back into Starcraft 2. :(

I was playing last night hoping to get promoted or at least get to the top of my division but out of 16 games I had 10(!) PvPs. It made me so sad. By the 5th or so I was 10gate 4gate all-ining and it was working so I'm back to playing high Platinum and Low diamonds again. No more super-defensive style play from me because tons of them were going for fast expands and I easily could have 4gated them and won. DAMN YOU PVP
Not to mention every other game I played the other person was heavily favoured and they were all scary macro zergs. I took advantage of many of them blind countering colossi so I focused on immortals and gateway units and it worked well. I won about half of them
Got moved from bronze to silver after placement. I had moved up from 44th in my division to 8, but I did that after they locked ladder progression. So pretty pumped to be out of bronze whoop whoop!
Was in Plat, lost to a Diamond in my placement and I'm still in Plat playing Diamonds. Hopefully I'll be promoted soon.
