I had only played 5 matches ever in the history of starcraft. Then I went into the placement matches and I get gold? Whaaaat?
It's just 5 placement matches. If you win 3/4 out of 5, depending on result, you can easily end up in Gold. Don't worry, either you're a talented player and will despite just starting out keep your position or even go higher up (There are higher leagues - Platinum and Diamond) - If you don't deserve it, you will soon end up in Silver or Bronze and be against more evenly matched players. Good Luck
You know about 6-pools etc. so It sounds like you've played more than 5 games in the history of starcraft. Are you including Starcraft 1 here? And even if you're not.. It doesn't matter ;> There are leagues above gold, and leagues below. As I mentioned, you will eventually end up where you belong, dont worry.
Before I play online in a game I read up everything I can so I'm ready. Yes, in the history of starcraft. Oh, and rank 55 in my division!
Congrats! you are a brave one.... im afraid to play my placement matches just yet. sounds like you did a good job on your homework!
It's like jumping into a cold pool. I was afraid as well. Now I'm afraid to play because I always get a platinum opponent. /sigh
