I can't say that because I got placed in Plat on my first placement. 
Congrats, now you are considered a competent starcraft player despite being in the top 5% of the world.
I got to masters similarly, once I hit diamond I also hit a plateu and stopped playing. Couple months later I massed team games to train my mechanics and bam I got promoted in only 2 days after playing 1v1. |

sounds like you have a lot of potential as a player. not many people become masters so fast (only 400 games). i assume sc2 is your first RTS. otherwise i take it back.
you would probably be very high master or GM if you actually kept playing consistantly. too bad for you, man .D |

Only 400 games ? So good, you should make a meet bbrian thread !
/troll off
Good for you, it's the second blog like this i see in a day, but the other one was about a guy who got promoted to silver so it's not exactly the same. Still good tho |

| To note, never compare yourself to your division, always check on SC2ranks for a overall view of all masters players to determine whether you are high, mid, or low. As far as your points go, you are at the very bottom of low. Regardless, congrats on your achievement. |

You'll drop from the top 8 for sure, 400 points would land you somewhere around top 50 in my division.
But anyway, congrats! I remember the first time I got promoted to masters, I did a fist pump and just stared at the icon for a good 3 minutes. Consistency and a clear head are definitely the keys to getting promoted. |

| I get too frustrated when playing against protoss. I could never do it. TvP is awful. |

| That's actually kind of inspiring. Good job!! So I guess now you can join the casual king of the hill observer games and show off to everybody . Unless you just enjoy playing the game I guess |

On May 26 2012 04:48 bbrian wrote:Hi all. I just got promo'd to masters and it feels fucking great. And im not even in low masters but high masters! Its probably because the division isnt filled. Anyways, it took me 8 months to get from bronze to masters. I had breaks for about 3 months total though. Heres a quick summary of my sc2 career -play 5 placement matches 3 months after it comes out -lose all five get smashed and depressed -dont play for a long time till friends get me into the game again, get stomped an placed in bronze -work my way up to plat, hit plateau and take a break for 2 months -decide to try again and get promo'd to diamond -hit plateau again, rest for 1 month -play 30 games against dias and plats till i start facing only masters -get serious and play for around 6 hours non-stop -get promo'd to masters at around 3 am! -shout in joy, wake family up, mom gets pissed One guide helped me quite a bit: bronze to masters Thanks for the guide For those of you who want to get to masters, its surprisingly not that hard! Consistent improvement will get you to masters! Here's my profile: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/2453394/1/othereffect/I got to masters around 400ish games Gl everyone!
why do people have to say this? next thing you will see Parting tell you how easy it is to get into Code S. other than that, congratulations on masters.

| Thanks everyone for such posting responses! And yes, this is my first RTS ever. @nabes, it's really not a huge feat if you think about it. Anyone can make it to masters if they have the time and a proper mindset. |

| Ha, I'm so close to this goal being from bronze and now in diamond. It shows me that other people have at least accomplished this |

Well.. d'uh, every single masters/GM player was once a newbie. Even those pros that switched from BW were once D- scrubs. |

congrats to you.
i personaly could kill someone sometimes just because of the fact i beat plat terrans and i am still in bronze.
the promoting system is a fucking joke imo. but glad to see someone beat it. |
