Starcraft – What happens if you skip the practice games

starcraft-2

I haven't played any league games yet in StarCraft 2. When I go to the league page, there is a button that suggests something like "test skills". As far as I know it will be 5 games to determine my level and to put me in the most appropriate group (bronze, silver, etc).

But there is also "Skip" button. What will be if I skip those testing? Will I be able to play few games and than go back to tests? Or I will be put into "Bronze" league instead?

You start out in the practice league. In this league you play unranked matches against other practice league players, on special maps designed to prevent early rushes. Matches in the practice league also take place at a slower game speed.

You can play 50 games in the practice league before you have to move on. You can also choose to leave the practice league early, but if you do so you won't be able to go back. (This is the "Skip" button you mentioned)

Once you leave the practice league, you begin a series of 1v1 placement matches to determine which 1v1 league you will be placed in (Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc.) You can't play any ranked games (1v1, 2v2, etc) until you leave the practice league.
