covetousrat Profile Joined October 2010 2099 Posts Last Edited: 2014-03-25 16:09:42 #1 Im just gonna do a short post here regarding when do you know you are going to get promoted soon. Lets take an example. If you are currrently in Diamond with 1000 points and 1500 bonus pool. So add them up to 2,500.



Now head over where i normally use nios.kr website at check on the highest diamond ranking points he has. If rank 1 diamond on say NA has 2600(his total points +bonus pool), this means that you have to get additional more than 100 points to get promoted. Thus, it you total points must be more than the first person in Diamond. The same goes for other leagues.



People says that MMR is different from your points, but this is partially true. You points do reflect your MMR. So after adding your points, if you have more than the first guy, you will be promoted very very soon. I cant give an exact figure, but if another hint is you kept vsing against Masters.



Good luck. Just promoted to masters and after adding points, mine is around top 50 masters. GM here i come on NA if i dont lag like crap.



EDIT: For example you have total 2500 points, and top Diamond is 2600, the benchmark may be 2650 points. Thus you have to reach this to get promoted. And this benchmark grows everyday, if im not mistaken 12 or 24 points for masters and below.

I would say its the same. If you have total 3000 points in master and the highest is 2900, means you will be promoted in a few more wins and provided theres empty slots in GM.

gm is the same . you get promoted if you are from the best masters in your region. i got promoted to gm recently after being between rank 1-4 masters overall in europe .(not only in my division) and having some few wins against mid gms . ofcourse you need places in the gm league to be empty to get promoted unlike other leagues gm is the same . you get promoted if you are from the best masters in your region. i got promoted to gm recently after being between rank 1-4 masters overall in europe .(not only in my division) and having some few wins against mid gms . ofcourse you need places in the gm league to be empty to get promoted unlike other leagues

Meanwhile, there are loads of players in the leagues above you that play 2 games a week and live on bonus pool. I was 300 pts behind rank 1 in my region. Went 18-4, rank 1 in my league, no promo in sight. 2v2, 1v1, Zerg, Terran http://www.twitch.tv/trafficsc2

you dont have to be the best in most leagues , atleast not points wise - you can have as a gold player high mmr playing diamonds and winning them and you'll get promoted even if there are like 300 people in gold with more points.



and what do you mean by "live on bonus pool" ? if you are active or not you get the same amount of bonus pool. its like getting points for free , you can lose them or achieve them so they are just like normal points. if you see someone with 1900 points and 900 bonus pool and you have 1900 points with 0 bonus pool it just means you've wasted it on losses. he didnt. you dont have to be the best in most leagues , atleast not points wise - you can have as a gold player high mmr playing diamonds and winning them and you'll get promoted even if there are like 300 people in gold with more points.and what do you mean by "live on bonus pool" ? if you are active or not you get the same amount of bonus pool. its like getting points for free , you can lose them or achieve them so they are just like normal points. if you see someone with 1900 points and 900 bonus pool and you have 1900 points with 0 bonus pool it just means you've wasted it on losses. he didnt.

Well, if you let bonus pool accumulate, you will never be at risk for losing points. I was stuck in plat for ages. Took 2 weeks off and let my bonus pool ride me into diamond ez pz. Now, you could say this is a coincidence, but even so, you can't lose points. And if you have bonus pool, you get massive pts for beating ppl 1 league up.

z0kan Profile Joined March 2014 4 Posts #8 i know a few players in na got a promotion to gm league have 100-200 points lesser than the top master in nios.kr n. they have around 50% w/l ratio. i'm not sure if points do play a huge factor on getting a promotion.

Faust852 Profile Joined February 2012 Luxembourg 4004 Posts Last Edited: 2014-03-25 15:29:25 #9 Everyone has the same amount of bonus point in the same league. For instance, I actually have around 450 pts in master, but with 1800 BP. So if I add them up I reach around 2250. I'm pretty sure I'm stronger than 2250 now, closer to 2k4/2k5.

The best way to determine if you are gonna be promoted is just playing enough, and if you play players from a league above you in a regular basis, you are close to up one league.

If you lose bonus pool - you lose potential points . the fact you dont lose your actual points doesnt mean you dont lose these potentiall points you could get from winning . its the same with normal points . if you win someone better you get alot of points , either bonus or normal . they act like normal points. if you lose to someone with lower mmr you lose alot of points , again doesnt matter bonus pool or not , youll still lose alot of points for losing to worse players and win alot of points / bonus pool for winning better players.

Like i say again, you have to be the first among all masters (added points) against rank 1 (added points). If you are 3000 points and the rank 1 has 2500, you will be promoted next few games, unless the benchmark for GM is so much higher.



If you go inactive, you and any players are getting the same points. So at the end your MMR is just stuck at where you left. Eg you left when you have 1000 points and 500 bonus points. You come back with 1000 points and 1000 points. Other players get those 500 points as well. So if you are inactive, you are just stuck there. No gain no loss. Other players may be playing hard to rush their wins for promotion.



This is where it gets ugly. Some players get into Masters just play 1 game a season to maintain it. However, Blizz has fix this, where you may start a lower league and no demotion. Thus he may have to play a few games. Like i say again, you have to be the first among all masters (added points) against rank 1 (added points).

Shuffleblade Profile Joined February 2012 Sweden 1821 Posts #13 Every start of the season after a few weeks I think the master players with highest scores get into GM. After that cut has been made the only way of getting into GM is if someone in GM drops out due to inactivity. Thats how I think it works anway, someone please clarify for sure.

Well my personal experience doesn't match this at all. Since I was top 25 plat before with like 800 pts and then rank 1 diamond with 1350 after clearing 3 weeks bonus pool. It could just be I'm better at taking on better players since I was getting like +28, +30 consistently. It feels like twice what I'd normally get.

Only total points matters. You are at where you left. Everyone gets the bonus pool. If you get +28, the actual amount is only +14. Other players get the other 14 points as well.



Eg you have 800 points +0 bonus. You come back after 3 weeks say 200 points. You win +28, in total you have 1014 points. The other player may have 1000 total before the loss (0 bonus).

Actually the system is like matching you probably within eg 50 points when you click on search. If there are none after maybe 1 minute, the system broadens, to say 70 points. If none again after 3 minutes, it widens to say 100 points. ........Well my personal experience doesn't match this at all.

Actually the system is like matching you probably within eg 50 points when you click on search. If there are none after maybe 1 minute, the system broadens, to say 70 points. If none again after 3 minutes, it widens to say 100 points.[/QUOTE]

................



Nah, most of my opponents are +1000 points<-> -100. Very rarely they have less points than me. Normaly they have 400-600 points more than me. And I wait 40sec - 1min15sec for match.



I have 1092 points, 52 wins and 33 losses. I also have 1079 bonuspool.

Well, if you let bonus pool accumulate, you will never be at risk for losing points. I was stuck in plat for ages. Took 2 weeks off and let my bonus pool ride me into diamond ez pz. Now, you could say this is a coincidence, but even so, you can't lose points. And if you have bonus pool, you get massive pts for beating ppl 1 league up.



If you lose bonus pool - you lose potential points . the fact you dont lose your actual points doesnt mean you dont lose these potentiall points you could get from winning . its the same with normal points . if you win someone better you get alot of points , either bonus or normal . they act like normal points. if you lose to someone with lower mmr you lose alot of points , again doesnt matter bonus pool or not , youll still lose alot of points for losing to worse players and win alot of points / bonus pool for winning better players.

Well my personal experience doesn't match this at all. Since I was top 25 plat before with like 800 pts and then rank 1 diamond with 1350 after clearing 3 weeks bonus pool. It could just be I'm better at taking on better players since I was getting like +28, +30 consistently. It feels like twice what I'd normally get.



Maybe the system assumes you get worse while you take time off so it makes it easier. ........Well my personal experience doesn't match this at all.
