my mmr is quite good i play people like idra sheth etc but u still need to secure that top5 in masters league overall and then wait for someone to get demoted but again someone with 70-80% win ratio might be ahead of you

Nice site. Ya seems hard. So many people play hardcore.

you just have to be in the top 200 right when they put people in gm and after that you can only get gm after someone drops out from lack of playing

Not true. Both myself and a friend were in the top150 when GM rolled over this season and neither of us got GM. Meanwhile GM fills up with low rank players and not so great players.

So for the OP, it takes some luck, and high mmr =)

Unless you mean top 200 MMR at the time, which theres no way to tell what your position is so /shrug.

Lol you don't need a top5 in masters overall at all.. either you have the MMR or you don't. And there's no way you can discern this based on win/loss, points, or even current league. You should know this by now desrow ^^

I'm gm, RevPinky. It was sad to say, but i think i only had to play 15-20 games to get promoted back into gm from last season. My MMR is high, but I agree, high masters is indistinguishable from 100-200 ranking...I think I'm at 130. GL on your quest for GM; just remember once you're there its pretty much for good

yeah I feel players who've played consistently since season 1 have such a huge advantage in terms of getting into GM. I'm top 50 GM and there are tons of high masters players way better than me but I've just been playing consistently since release so my MMR got high enough and stays high enough that I stay in GM easily.

Would be nice to have a GM revamp tbh. What we have nice is kind of bleh, there is enough under deserving GM's of this "top200" position.

Maybe if GM were to be re-evaluated every 2-3 weeks or something, allowing for the non-gm's to still have motive to get in beyond "Man I hope some GM goes inactive and booted so I can get in because on day X I wasn't top 200 in blizzards eyes".

Just my opinion. It seems pretty random to me in all honesty, and I can't say I'm too happy with it.

What a brag blog. Not because of the GM stuff, but because every Maynard blog is by definition a brag blog.

Stream for us old war2/vanilla sc players! I never imagined 10+ years ago it would be possible to see someone like Maynard play.
