Congrats man! Next stop 5! Last month I was pushing for 5 but since I didn't have enough time for climbing that month, the highest I got was 6 with a winstreak and 2 wins off of 5. I was running burn mage and had just beaten a control paladin in a down to the wire classic control match, was feeling pretty good about myself until I ran into a quest rogue. Unfortunately I was beaten the turn before I would have won. I was a little disappointed that I was so close to hitting 5 for the first time only to have it stripped from my grasp. I'm going to try a lot harder in these upcoming months. Good Luck hitting your goals!
I just hit rank 10 for the first time now. And probably stay there. I'm playing control warrior and since getting rank 10 I only get to play against quest rogue, quest warrior and jade druids, all bad matchups =(
Good work! I am pushing for rank 10 in wild, just slipped from 11 to 12 though
Yeah I got stuck at 11 for about 10 matches I think. Was very nerve racking when you get close to the next floor, I lost a game at 10 and 4 stars and realised how close I was, started playing a lot more seriously. My worst match up is Quest Rogue simply because of Vanish but I think I'm around 50/50 so it's not too bad for a worst match up. Pirate Warriors are fun because I can beat them down first. Ever seem a Pirate Warrior NOT go face with Arcanite Reaper? It's a sight to behold
just wanted to announce this. I realise "pros" are going to comment saying that it's not even good but it's a milestone for me especially since I've peaked at 11-12 the last several seasons. For those curious I'm using Purify Priest
Congratulations! I hit 10 for the first time last month. Got within 1 win of 9 about a half dozen times but couldn't move to single digits.
It's a big accomplishment. That probably puts you in the top quartile of Hearthstone players. That's a big deal. You should be excited and proud and there's no shame in that.

Congrats to OP, and to all those who reached r10 for the first time! I did the same last month and indeed it felt quite an accomplishment.
@ Archaelicos: it's even better than top quartile, it's top 9 percent! If you want further details about ranks percentiles you might check (shameless plug) this thread ;)
The best part about getting to 10 (or 15 or 5) is the new ranking floors. Once I got to 10 this season, I played some fun throwback decks (patron warrior, C'Thun Priest, Renounce Warlock, etc) and you will never believe it, I had fun in ranked play - imagine that! I also feel good when I dominate a rank 11 with a meme deck...but concede right before I win so they can get to 10 as well (and hopefully play some more non-meta decks...at least for a day or so).
I made a sandwich today with peanut butter AND jelly!
There's one in every crowd.
Yet both are equally meaningful discussion topics for a message board and would have found a much more suitable place on someones FB-page or personal unicorn-diary.^^
Buuuut, since the thread is already here and all, I'll take the chance to congratulate OP as well. :3 I usually stop around rank 15 each month myself, and just mess around there, since the frequency of Pirate Warrior and friends seems to be just reasonable(/manageble) there - so you already did better than I did in the last what ... 2+ years xD)

When I die, I want to go peacefully and in my sleep like my Grandpa. Not yelling and screaming like the passengers in his car.

Congrats dude, well done! Amazing!
My magic will tear you apart!
That's Incredible!
Congratz dude! Keep going!
