I'm tempted, as I quite enjoy SC2 and wouldn't mind getting better, my only concern is how ridiculously stupid the ranking system blizzard created is.

This new 1-match placement is crap. Even more than before. I placed into Platinum Rank 24 after one match against some horrible protoss after I hadn't 1v1'd for like 2.5 months. I placed into Platinum in 3v3 after losing my placement game to triple diamonds. Maybe when the ranking system makes more sense and I can get a grasp on how good and/or bad I actually am I could consider such a service.

Season 3?

How many games have you played? If you haven't played enough games, your league might be off and won't be adjusted until your predicted win rate matches your actual win rate to within a certain margin. After that, you'll be amazed to find that the matchmaking system is exceptionally good at matching people around your skill level, and your league will eventually reflect what that actually is.

yea it is. if you have previously qualified for a spot in said league, such as 1v1 or 2v2 random or 2v2 arranged team, then you only need to play one placement match. also, the resulting placement will depend greatly on your previous league. For now the league promotion freezing only stops you from moving up or down leagues currently. However if you supposedly would be moved up, when you place for next league next season which begins July 19th, then you will be placed in a higher league regardless of victory or loss.

new season placement is just a continuation of the season before.

I'm really bad (was bronze in season 1, and got Gold in season 2 after placement, I'll probably be demoted after enough games) but I do have a lot of Bitcoins...

I might be down, I play zerg, diamond level. I basically 8 pooled my way there so I need to actually learn how to play lol.

... lmao how do you get to diamond 8 pooling? Anyone top rungs in gold should be able to handle that ...

I can easily get to master rank with 6pool only... no joke.
ppl just don't realize how strong rush is in this game.

I think you're full of crap.
I'll bet you 5 btc I could find one non-masters player of each race to play against you and beat your 6-pool even without them knowing that's what you're going to do.

6 pool is worthless.

I've beat gold players with mass queens and double-hatch-before-pool. nhodges's claim doesn't surprise me

Interesting service, I wish there was something similar for TF2 or some of the other games I play.

Good luck

I've seen some people on this forum mention they're into sc2. Figured I should extend my services.

I'm a master level protoss, diamond (almost master) zerg, and maybe low diamond terran (my 1v1 is diamond right now because I've been practicing T a bunch and my MMR dropped like a rock). I've had repeat customers when I charged $20/hr, but I'll do 1 BTC/hr for bitcoin's sake.

I can't help you if you're already Masters, sorry.

If you're below diamond, I can estimate how long it will take me to coach you into diamond after one session and then can guarantee you I can get you in provided you actually try to apply what I teach.
