How to get back into Starcraft 2 multiplayer?

Question

For awhile when SC2 came out I was pretty heavy into it. I was playing multiplayer and got up to diamond in 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3. I want to start playing multiplayer again, but I feel like I'm going to get my butt kicked. What is the most efficient way to regain my competitiveness in SC2 multiplayer? Also, a related question: will I still be in the diamond ladder when I start back up? Or do they automatically bump you back?

Answer

Best suggestion i can give is play some games, if you are afraid of loosing ranked matches at start then play custom games that don't count towards your placement or custom games that are made for practicing certain aspects of the game like "Multitasking train" or Build order tester.

Other than that you should read up on changes and new tactics since you last played, trying all maps in the map pool might also be a good idea if you don't want to loose in the beginning and watch videos/streams of other players so you see what people do.

Just remember in the long run your are expected to loose about 50% of your matches as long as there is people that are better than you do to the way the matching system works.

To your 2nd question you can check that on your Quick Match screen, if your still got some kind of placement it will say "Play one match to be placed in a new division for this season." if not it will say "Complete a series of multiplayer matches to determine your initial league placement." and it will say how many games are remaning.
