Now before anyone says "you shouldn't be trying to win DM". I know, and I never worry about the fact that I don't. I do like to at least come middle of the board, but I treat it as a learning experience. BUT it felt so good to actually win, I had to post :)
So I've been playing for about 15 months, I originally placed Bronze1 back in episode 3 act 3. Then after the rank reset and some horror placement games I placed iron1. Climbed back up to Iron 3, only to rank all the way back down to iron1 again (whilst playing against mostly bronze and occaisionally silver).
I decided to take a break from ranked this act, and had been playing mostly DM, and some unrated, recently swiftplay. I was doing OK in DM, but almost always had some plats or diamonds in my lobbies with the occaisional ascendent or immortal. So I figured (with my last rank iron1) I was never going to win a DM. But tonight, it happened, and it wasn't even an iron lobby. A lot of unranked players, but of the ranked players, there were two silver 2's a silver one a bronze2 and a gold 2 so I'm pretty pleased with my result.
Oh and I was guardian only as well for the icing on the cake!
Ironically, I decided to play unrated straight after this, and we lost 0 - 13 :D in our defence we were only four players for all rounds but the first.
edit: title is inaccurate, it was 30 seconds, just switched to 6 second countdown after the last kill which I didn't realize ;)

I was bored, so I've decided to start making weekly poster of the rankings for each of the VCT regions, starting with EMEA! (I'll create Pacific and Americas ones after they've finished week 5)
