Erroneous league assignment

How good were these 30 opponents? The system doesn't know this from the start. It's bound to be cautious. 30 wins against unranked or freshly ranked players hardly means anything. 30 wins against Masters or Super Titans with high confidence ratings is a very valid reason not to be in Gifted League.

I mean I think going 30-0 and not being promoted is just bad, no question about it. FYI I would say the average person I was being matched up with was high rated Gifted people. But if after 30 consecutive wins I am still being matched up with people in Gifted league, then that is the fault of the match-making system. So perhaps that's where the problem lies. FYI, I am in Masters now...which occurred probably after about 35 consecutive wins. I'm not sure on the exact number.

To be fair, I think part of my problem is that I don't get excited about my "rank" within a league, because I understand that the number of points someone has is largely dependent on their activity. So that I was increasing in my league rank did not satiate my ego; I wanted league promotion, and it happened too slowly imo.
