Can anyone explain to me how I can still be in Silver despite that fact that I have been #1 for the last 2 months and I have been consistently beating Golds and Diamonds. Meanwhile one of my friends who just got the game a month ago and has a 1/3 win loss ratio is diamond?

it's really really hard to say. I wouldn't pay much attention to your league placement, just focus on your evolution as a player instead of worrying about stuff like a symbol at the login screen or your MMR.

If it's meant to be, it will come.

Some datamining has revealed the following code:

IF UID="BruceLeeRoy"
THEN
ACTION="...."
ELSE
ACTION="Profit"
ENDIF

That could have something to do with it.
(Snarkiness aside I have no clue, for me it never matches me against Gold players, but always gets me platinum players or silver-players that are actually platinum or above in skill.)

I think they have a "hidden" rating that you can't see that the matchmaking system uses to determine your opponents too. Kind of lame.

I haven't been on since middle of last week when I lost half of my RAM in my computer. SC2 on Medium isn't playable in the slightest and I refuse to use lower settings when my computer is capable of extreme. With luck I can play by this weekend when replacement modules get here.

I bet now that mlg and us tournys are so well money wise, no sense for idra to be in korea for one tournament.
Click to expand...
It seriously is.

He has a bigger chance winning an MLG than a GSL realistically.

That's why I don't think Korea will be the ultimate SC2 gamer destination and the scene will be more global instead of committing yourself to one tournament which doesn't give you any chance to play all the other ones going.

NEW YORK (Reuters)- Major League Gaming, the largest professional competitive video game league, will be expanding to new markets outside North America thanks to a new partnership with IMG, the global sports and entertainment company

IMG, which is run by billionaire private equity investor Ted Forstmann, will boost the profile of Major League Gaming, a league where players compete in video games like Microsoft's "Halo: Reach" and Activision Blizzard's "StarCraft 2" in tournaments across the U.S. and on the Internet.

IMG will focus on marketing the league in the UK, Germany, France, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil as well as in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, IMG Media President Michel Masquelier told Reuters.

Looks like I'll be spending double the money on starcraft each month if this North American Starcraft League is true.

EDIT: If there is an internet stream of course. Can't imagine it not having one.

Seems like a smart move. Also, theoretically couldn't Idra go back to Korea for GSLs if he wanted to, assuming they don't interfere with the NA tournaments?

The NA tournament scene is certainly getting bigger, and Idra could probably dominate it

Didn't the MLG guy on SoTG mention they they were going to expand outside the US?

Anyway, great news. Plus Fnactic is doing a base in Malaysia I think.

Does anyone who uses the Map Editor have any idea why it's slow as shit for me all of a sudden? The last time I used it was months ago (probably 2 patches or so) and as MrMister and some others know I made quite a few maps. Now when I try to carve terrain out or lay down textures, my changes only update every 1-3 seconds when it used to update in real-time. For example, if I hold down left click with the lowering elevation tool selected, and drag it across the map really quickly, there might only be like 2 individual holes not connected where it used to carve a completely connected chasm in the path that I drew. It's like when I'm trying to alter terrain it goes like 5 frames per second or something. To make a chasm now I have to move the mouse REALLY slow.

I have no idea what the deal is but making maps is impossibly annoying like this, and I won't be touching the editor unless I find a fix. The only thing I've done to my computer since is overclock it and add more RAM (from 6GB to 12GB)... but that's resulted in better running games across the board for me so I don't think that could be the reason that the editor is suddenly running slower, if anything it should be the opposite.

Yeah it's not the greatest show lol. The high five miss is the best thing to come out of it.

It most certainly has to do with SC2 patches and maybe the tool you might be using, try switching between noise, solid, and faded circles for example and see what you get. Personally, I haven't had any problem with the editor and terraining and texturing, besides maybe a hiccup there or two.

if you play 10 games within a week you shouldn't be surprised, as your activity on the ladder does factor into promotions.

also, did you beat 10 master league players?

Is it just me or is the Medium AI ridiculously easy? At least the Normal AI in Warcraft III gives me a bit of a challenge. If Medium is so retarded I'd hate to see what Very Easy is like.
