my tip, don't wait anylonger, start playing in tours today. You should have done that some time ago actually if you haven't yet.
It needs experience, people might play different there, also depending if it's bo1 or bo3 and all that nice stuff, you might also become nervous, so play alot of tours to get used to it first, and gl.

woooow!!! That's crazy! >_>;

f all you people with multiple accounts in gm, especially if its with the same race....wasting prime spots for others!

wow I'm looking at GM right now and there are so many baddies in there...wtf it seems like the standards have been set lower or everyones collective MMR is just higher or something...

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but the GM selection is very screwed up this season. There are people like DDE/Tod/Idra etc. who have MMRs well beyond what 95% of the current GM players will ever reach. They should have had spots reserved for them like in previous seasons. Hopefully Blizzard realizes the issue and remakes the grandmaster division. I personally don't feel that I deserved to get in, and there are other people who are significantly worse than me but still made it somehow.

Yah it was pretty weird, I think its because GM only counts active ppl from the first week (hence why they say that the first week is decided to determine the top 200 active MMRs), so ppl that didn't play didn't count (most ppl with the mmr high enough played one game after GM was released and they got in ez so thats all they needed to do ;; ).

Take DDE as an example. He was #1 NA GM last season with a very impressive win percentage. In previous seasons, GM would reserve spots for the players with MMRs in the top 200 on the server. Their reservation could only be revoked if either:

A) They accumulated too many bonus points at the start of the season, or

B) Other people play before they have a chance, and their MMR gets surpassed

A) is not an issue because DDE has played some games this season. B) might be a problem for someone on the cusp of the top 200, but DDE is quite clearly one of the 10 best players on the server. It's incomprehensible that 200 people, some of them not even top masters last season, could have surpassed his MMR. Clearly, the system has malfunctioned.

I really hope Blizzard realizes the problem and remakes the division. If that means I get the boot from GM, then so be it. I'd rather be excluded from a fair system than be included in this mess if I don't have a top 200 MMR.

I remember playing against you when you were in diamond. I'm still diamond. I very very depressed and disappointed in myself now..
