Starcraft 2's ladder is one of the most addictive attributes that Blizzard designed for its players. To get your ranks high you will need to work hard for it. Reading through different guides and be creative all the time. Ranks are divided into four standard league types: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum.

But without any training and resources you will probably get into bronze. In bronze and silver league you will be placed with players with similar experiences so you will learn slowly how to win a match.

But there is a league designed for the top players of Starcraft 2. It is called Diamond, which will soon get its Master League, within it there will be place for the top 5% of the Diamond. There is also a hassle about Grand Master League which will invite only the top 200 players.
