Promotion of leagues

I am wondering how many wins do I need to get promoted to different leagues. Cool

Are consecutive wins required?
I think the requirements should be stated out so I have at least a target to what I should do -.-

theres no fixed amount

To the best of my understanding, it goes by a hidden ranking that is tied to your win percentage. I don't know what else factors in, though.

Has anyone ever tried to figure out the percentage then Smile

It depends on the skill set(hidden rate) of the opponents you've beaten!

It doesn't matter. Think about it. Even if you knew the rating you needed to get promoted, it would still boil down to "win a lot." Your goal should always be to win as much as possible, ideally 100% of your games. Win a lot, and eventually you will get promoted.

I believe it is at least 60% win rate of all games. At least 75% of the more recent games. You will feel getting promoted when you are constantly being matched with higher-leagued players.

The update changed that to if you're rank 1 in your division, you will be paired against players in the league above you. Im always paired against clever after the update but i didn't get promoted yet. I don't know why.

Having a specific requirement wouldn't really be possible in a game that depends on your opponents hidden ranking, it would change all the time! The way you can measure it is realistically seeing how well you do against opponents you get matched up to; have a 90% win rate and you may get promoted. Have a 60% win rate, then chances are you will rise in your league but need to improve more for the next.

Also using just your last 5-10 games or so and checking it every day should be a good enough indicator; see if you can consistently be above 50%

I think it is about 30 games from clever->gifted and from gifted->master. Once you get matched with the league above, you are about ~5 games from promotion. That is my experience and I've heard the same from others in other threads. From master->top200, it was about 10 games for me. I haven't reached ST yet, but from what I've heard from others, it is probably about 40 games from master->ST. I think you should expect this with a very high win rate (~90%). Even if you have 100% wins, you probably won't go much faster. If you have a lower win rate (but still >50%), it is going to take longer.
