Starcraft 2 news » Climbing the Ladder: How to Earn a League Promotion

Each new ladder season, we see a large amount of questions on the community forums asking, “What do I need to do to earn a League promotion?” Therefore, we’ve put together some information to better answer that question.

One way to almost guarantee a promotion by next season is to earn the number of division ladder points given in the corresponding table entry below before next week’s season roll.

Q: Is this the only way to be promoted?

A: No, this is just one fairly reliable way. Some players may be promoted before reaching this number, and a rare few may remain in their current league after reaching the value. This rare few can expect a within-season promotion if they maintain their skill level during the next season.

Q: How do I get my points that high?

A: The only way to get this high is to win more than you lose for a sustained period of time. For example, if you look at your match history and have won at least 12 of your last 20 games, you’re on the right track, keep it up!
