In Starcraft 2 competitive online games you get placed in a league and are ranked against approximately 100 other people of your skill level.

For the different skill levels there are bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond leagues, but each of these levels is divided into several "divisions" of 100 people.

How many such divisions are there for each level?

  • @JavadocMD he asked how many, not what divisions mean, or how they're assigned

  • The number of divisions are not set in stone, as they will increase in number as the total number of people playing starcraft multiplayer likewise increase. Any correct numerical answer will no longer be valid in a month or so, only the percentages should remain constant. Aug 27, 2010 at 1:24
  • @tzenes: the other question also asks how many.

  • @JavadocMD you are correct, I must have missed that. This brings up a larger issue: if your question is part of another question, but was not answered as part of that question, should you cut a new question?

At the time of this writing there are:

 All      25,670     862     1,707    1,299     7,371  2,678  11,380       373

Broken down by Type and League (approximate numbers)

This data was tabulated by myself based on the website: http://sc2ranks.com/

As to what that split represents, I refer you to this question: What percentage of players get into each league tier

I think the answer would be as many as there need to be.

Here is a good article talking about the new ladder system:

Divisions Explained

They are split up approximately like so:
* Diamond (top 10%)
* Platinum (10-25%)
* Gold (25-45%)
* Silver (45-70%)
* Bronze (70-100%)

0

total number of players = x, multiplied by percent of league P (ie. diamond would multiply by .1), divided by 100. (x*P/100). this would give an approximate answer for number of divisions.
