User blog comment:ObsidianLazarus/Grind for Gold has killed me./@comment-5045990-20131111194428

I feel kinda spoiled now to get to Gold V so easily... I just finished my provisional games three days ago and started off in Silver I. Realizing I could get Gold during the weekend, I just went for it. I won my first four games up to the series, then lost all of my promotion matches.

I was kinda shocked over the difference between the standard ranked matches and the promotion matches, but I didn't give up. I won two more games to get 100 LP again, and then decided to queue up with a friend who had just gotten his gold. After some really rough matches, I won the series and got what I wanted!

... Then again, it's pretty likely that I will barely ever play Elise xP
