    If I'm not mistaken moving up or down from divisions is more a matter of how the game rates your skill then it is just wins and losses. I've seen people that were in the middle of the Gold rank simply get bumped up into Platinum and I've seen Gold people also get bumped down to Silver as well. Neither one was at the top or the bottom of the division when they moved.

    I'm not sure just exactly how the game makes these decisions or what you can do to affect the outcome. Other then just playing your *** off and trying to win as much as possible. I'm sure others may have some other ideas as to how it works.

    well... the leagues goes like this:

    when your at rank #1 in bronze the next rank will be the lowest rank in silver (i think its rank 50 or 70) and so on...
    but the way you get a better rank is by winning matches so you get points and the one who has most points has the best rank at the best league

    so for example when you win a match you get like +15 points and then you would probably get one rank higher ^^

    There is more to it than just points, you also need to have a good win/loss record to justify being moved up by the system.

    For example, in my current 1v1 league there was a guy in 1st who was in 1st for the longest time, but wouldn't get moved up because his record was around 80-75 which is basically a 1:1 w:l ratio. People who were in second place were constantly being moved up into diamond because their records would be 25-8 or around that anyway.

    So keep that in mind when you are looking for a bump in leagues
