You will have to play a couple of games to evaluate your level and then you will be put in a league that fits you best.
Each league will also have a lot of subdivisions. After a period of time your skill level will be reevaluated and you will either go to a higher league or a lower one. Gold, Silver, Bronze Leagues.

Activision Blizzard in English. Players will be invited to the "Pro League" using the same methods that determine current promotions between leagues. This league will not be divided by divisions and will have a set number of participants each ladder season. For the best players, this will be where they can see exactly how they compare to the other top competitors.
However, for now we've adjusted the search methods for players in Copper and Platinum leagues so you should be matched up with players more closely to your skill level. In my own experience I have found that not having to worry about which division I am in has made the competitive experience more fun. I like knowing that I have been placed in an appropriate skill bracket and have a "Top " feel by being in my Platinum league, rather than worrying about being only "Top XXXXX" on Battle.
If there's someone in a different division that I want to compare my skill to, I can challenge them to a series of Custom Games. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Contact Us. Site Map.

The Bonus Pool serves two purposes: to encourage players to play games so their points are always trending upward, and as a global decay mechanism since all players have equal access to the same amount of Bonus Pool.
Players receive Bonus Pool points at a set rate per league. Before Season 3, all players received points at the Master league original rate. Season 3 introduced a separate accrual rate for leagues below Master. A player joining StarCraft freshly after the start of a season instantly receives the Bonus Pool as if he started at day 1 of the Season. This change was made in Patch 1. Bonus pool accrual rates have been tuned for team matchmaking modes to make them more competitive: [4]. This rating decides which opponents a player will meet, and tries to quantify their skill level.
Each play-season the visible points will be reset, while the skill rating, MMR, stays intact. Since Patch 3. There also is a value " sigma " that measures how uncertain the system is of a player's MMR. This is usually high if a player has not played many games recently, or if they are on a winning or losing streak. Sigma is used to calculate how wide a player's search range should be, and by extension how much their MMR will change as a result of playing rating-distant opponents i.
In Patch 3. MMR is now visible for players, each ladder league below Grandmaster is split into three tiers, and the post-game screen now shows specific information about a player's current skill rating, how close they are to the next tier, and the upper and lower limits of their current ladder tier.
The MMR boundaries are based on a prior distribution from the previous season, and during each season roll, the values are recalculated for the upcoming season.
In Heart of the Swarm, if a player did not play any matches for an extended period of time, their MMR would decay, or automatically decrease. The details of the system are unknown, but it appears to be a linear decay, [17] and Blizzard has confirmed that decay begins after 2 weeks of inactivity, and decay stops after 4 weeks of inactivity. If a Seasonal Placement Match was not played last season, then MMR and uncertainty are both reset to their default values and the system effectively "forgets" about that player.
A special note about this, though: Random Team MMR is linked with 1v1 MMR, which means that if no 1v1 games were played last season, but Random Team games were played, a player's 1v1 MMR would not be reset at the start of the next season. MMR decay was removed in April Every arranged pair of 2v2 players is given a single rating.
In 2v2 random match-ups, an average rating of the two players will be compared to their opponents rating. This rule presumably applies for 3v3 and 4v4 as well. Starcraft II ladder is divided into several seasons per year, and the final results are generally recorded at the end of a season. You can be promoted mid-season, it's quite common. As you get better you will find yourself playing against people in a better league than you Bronze players will play Silver or Gold leaguers and once it's convinced that you can hold your own if you're promoted then it will promote you.
In reality this means that your MMR is at about the half-way mark in the league above. You can only be demoted from GM and even then only if you let your bonus pool get above a certain level I think it's Bonus pool is accumulated when you're not actually playing the game and lets you quickly gain points to catch-up to the people who play more often so are ahead in your division.
If you win a game, the points you would normally earn are matched in points from your bonus pool, but if you lose, the points you'd normally lose are taken from your bonus pool instead of your ladder score.
I don't have a very complete understanding of how it works, but I can tell you a few things. You can rank up mid season, first off.
