First time playing ranked

new to starcraft2 and finally calibrated my rank after 5 games. i went against this terrain player who swarmed me with +35 battlecrusier tactical jumping to my main base and a protoss that gave me hell with many carriers after his immortal colossal and phoenix army failed. i wish i knew how to upload replays to better explain the situation. i thought i only had to look out for rushing players. i thought a more diverse army would win games?

I highly recommend watching Winter’s tutorials:

In general, More beats Less in SC2 until you get to Masters

how many ranks are in ranked?

Bronze
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Diamond
Master
Grandmaster

Each League has Tiers 3-1 (Gold 3 < Gold 2 < Gold 1) with the exception of Grandmaster.
Grandmaster is the top 200 MMRs on a given server
MMR is your Match Making Rank (similar to ELO)
You also have a league Rank out of 200 for each league, but those don’t mean anything.

The game has a fairly steep learning curve.

You’re going to have many losses before you still solidifying basic mechanics. So being persistent is key.
