In reference to getting a static based on luck--I would say it's based on your social networking skills. Not your game skill (though you do have to meet a certain minimum), that's right, but your social connections.

You can be very skilled, but not have a static and have not cleared T6 (I know a number of people stuck in this situation). More than anything else, what determines your ability to get into a static is who you know. Much like getting a job IRL, actually...
