How to Join the Platinum or Diamond League - Starcraft 2

There are several ways by which you can join the platinum league. The easiest but also least rewarding way is to win all 5 of your ranking matches. The second one, the one I'm going to tell you about is by obtaining several strategic victories.

The key to pulling off long winning streaks day after day is "strategy". Now here I'm not only talking simply learning about the common Starcraft 2 strategies that you find online. I'm talking about learning how to implement these. It used tobe that in order to gain knowledge, you had to expirement... a lot ! Now, thankfully, things have changed. What used to take weeks upon weeks of dedication can now be achieved in mere hours.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the online strategy guide era. An era where guides are backed by the online world. Where the guides possess a community ready to push the barriers of every single aspect of the game.

As you are reading this, Blizzard © is undoubtedly developing a new glitch fixing patch of some sort. A patch that will not only solve problems but that will also render some strategies obselete.

Thanks to online strategy "communities" such patches are no longer... problems, they now give community members the edge. Because some members of the community are bound to learn what has been changed before the actual patch is released. This edge is what makes some online guides so valuable.

Now let's get bacl to our main concern, getting ranked in the platinum league. You will need fully read a good online strategy guide, in order to understand not only "build orders" and "unit skillsets", but also the fundamentals such as:

• When is a rush effective?
  
• I have an army ready, should I attack?
  
• Should I expand or protect my assets?
  
• I was almost destroyed but somehow survived... how do I win?

Once you have learned more about these basic (yet sometimes hard to solve) questions, get familiar with the recent game changes. After this is done, there will be nothing stopping you from ranking up in the platinum league!
