StarCraft II ranks players on a ladder of seven leagues: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master and Grandmaster. Every league below Grandmaster has three tiers, and your MMR, which the game shows you, decides where you sit. RankSurge shows your league, 1v1 MMR, ladder rank and season record from the official Blizzard Battle.net API.
How does the StarCraft II ladder work?
You play five placement matches, then the ladder places you in a league. After that, wins and losses move your MMR (matchmaking rating) up or down, and your league follows your MMR. StarCraft II has shown MMR to players since patch 3.4, so there is no guessing about the number behind your rank, per Liquipedia.
| League | Tiers | How you get there |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 3 | Starting league after placements for newer players |
| Silver | 3 | Raise your MMR past the Bronze range |
| Gold | 3 | Raise your MMR past the Silver range |
| Platinum | 3 | Raise your MMR past the Gold range |
| Diamond | 3 | Raise your MMR past the Platinum range |
| Master | 3 | Raise your MMR past the Diamond range |
| Grandmaster | None | The top 200 players per region, refreshed daily |
Each mode has its own ladder: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 and Archon all keep separate leagues and MMR.
How does Grandmaster work?
Grandmaster opens a week after a season starts. It holds the top 200 players in each region. Every day the bottom of the league drops to Master and the best Master players are promoted to refill it. To stay, you must play at least 30 games every three weeks, and placement matches can never put you straight into Grandmaster, per Liquipedia.
The RankSurge StarCraft II hub includes the Grandmaster board for each region, so you can see the current cutoff and who holds the top spots.
How do you find your StarCraft II profile?
- Open your profile on the StarCraft II website: sign in at starcraft2.blizzard.com and open your profile. The address contains your region, realm and profile number.
- Copy the link: paste the full profile link into the search box on this page.
- Pick the right region: Americas, Europe and Korea & Taiwan each have separate ladders, so a European profile will not appear under Americas.
Or sign in with Battle.net on this page: pick your region, sign in, and your StarCraft II profiles are listed ready to open. The sign-in is read-only and never shares your password.
Your profile must have played ladder games this season to show a current league. Older seasons are not part of the live ladder.

All StarCraft II data on RankSurge comes from the official Blizzard Battle.net API, which is read-only. RankSurge can show your ladder record but never change your account. RankSurge is not affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment.
How can you use your stats to climb?
- Pick one ladder: 1v1 MMR moves fastest when you focus on it rather than spreading games across team modes.
- Read your season record: if one ladder or race is losing more than it wins, practice that before you queue again.
- Watch your MMR, not just your league: your league follows your MMR, so a rising number means promotion is coming even before the crest changes.
- Compare with a practice partner: run two profiles through AI Profile Pick to see who is ahead and why.
Keep your accounts together in the Player Hub, and browse every game we cover from Player Lookup or the Guide Library. If you also play World of Warcraft, the WoW stats page uses the same Battle.net data.
Ask RankSurge AI about your profile. Paste your StarCraft II profile link above, open your dashboard and ask which matchup to fix first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check my StarCraft II MMR?
StarCraft II shows your MMR in game on the ladder screen, and RankSurge shows the same official 1v1 number for each race you play this season. Paste your StarCraft II profile link into the search on this page, or sign in with Battle.net, and RankSurge reads your league, rank and MMR from the official Blizzard Battle.net API. Team ladders show your league and rank.
What are the StarCraft II leagues in order?
From lowest to highest the leagues are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master and Grandmaster. Every league below Grandmaster is split into three tiers. Grandmaster has no tiers: it is a single league that holds the top 200 players in each region. You are placed after five placement matches, and from then on your MMR decides which league and tier you sit in.
How do I get into Grandmaster in StarCraft II?
Raise your MMR high enough to be among the best Master players in your region. Grandmaster opens a week after the season starts and holds the top 200 players per region. Each day the lowest players drop to Master and the best Master players move up to refill it. You also need to keep playing, at least 30 games every three weeks, or you lose your spot.
Why can't RankSurge find my StarCraft II profile?
Check that you pasted the full profile link from the StarCraft II website and that the region is right, because Americas, Europe and Korea & Taiwan are separate. A profile only shows a current league after it has played ranked ladder games this season. If you have not finished placements yet, play your five placement matches, wait a few minutes and search again.
Where does RankSurge get StarCraft II stats?
From the official Blizzard Battle.net API, the same source Blizzard provides to developers for StarCraft II profiles and ladders. The API is read-only, so RankSurge can show your league, MMR and record but cannot change anything on your account. RankSurge is an independent site and is not affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment. Data is cached for a short time to stay inside Blizzard's limits.
Is the RankSurge StarCraft II lookup free?
Yes. Looking up profiles, the Grandmaster board and your dashboard are free and need no sign-up. Free visitors also get a daily allowance of Ask AI questions and AI Profile Picks, and RankSurge Pro removes those daily limits. The site is supported by clearly labelled ads, and you never need to share your Battle.net password to use the lookup.
