There have been some reports from individuals who felt they were missed from the Top 20% beta wave that went out last week. After looking into these specific reports, we determined that all accounts were flagged accurately during this wave. To help offer transparency on this topic, we wanted to provide details on the criteria we used.
We collected every active account that was originated from EU or NA. Then we pulled out every account that had played their placement matches and had earned a rank in Season 1. Those accounts were then stack ranked by MMR and the top 20% were flagged for beta access.
We realize there are still numerous active players who are eager to help us test the beta. We’re still flagging accounts on a weekly basis to support our testing needs. There will be multiple opportunities to find your way into the beta and we hope that this process didn’t cause unnecessary confusion for our playerbase.


Didn't get an invite? Ensure that:
1. You were ranked in 2015 Season 1, meaning part of a league on the snapshot day: the last day before the season roll. If you hit Leave League, well, that was a dumb and bad idea!
2. You were not underperforming in your league. Demotions don't exist anymore, so if you were a Diamond player but playing Golds because your MMR was really in Gold, that's no longer in the top 20%.
3. You were playing in the NA, EU, or SEA regions. KR isn't approved for beta access yet due to Korean rating board delays (like PEGI or ESRB).
4. You did not experience MMR decay by not playing for the last 2-4 weeks of the season.

Points don't matter. Division rank doesn't matter.


Point 1 at least is irrelevant, because I didn't play a single ranked game in Season 1 2015 and got into the beta.

edit: Which interestingly contradicts the statement. Weird.

Or you was one of the luckly ones. They are also giving betas to random people.

It's a silly approach to use MMR when people complain about MMR Decay and such beforehand.
And it's silly to undermine your own league system by using MMR instead of leagues/points.


Yeah they themself showed the flaw in their ranking system. If the 20% top ranked players aren't the 20% top players, the system is bad. Well at least MMR decay is gone now, I still hope they make a more transparent system for LotV, where your rank shows your skill.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I have been around top 0.5% for 2 years in a row. Stopped playing for few months and they took data from that period.

Since I never got into any Blizzard RTS beta including WC3 Frozen Throne and HOTS it does not surprise me anymore

I never got into any beta before(only after I pre-ordered and got beta key), but then I got Hearthstone beta, and after that HOTS and now LotV. I guess it's because I spent a lot of money on the Hearthstone beta, then on the HoTS beta

got an invite, was plat (dia MMR I guess as I was playing dia/masters). Given the percentages blizzard gave top plat falls within the top 20%.

edit: I m speaking of season 1 2015. I guess i was lucky to be active at the right period

It's a beta. Don't have too high of an expectation. My advice play random and have fun exploring the madhouse.
I mean nobody wants to admit they eat 9 cans of ravioli, but I did and I'm ashamed of myself. The first can doesn't count and then you get to the second, and the third. The fourth and fifth I think I burnt with the blow torch and I just kept eating.

to be honest idk right now at least from my games its been only allins, bane allins, roach burrow silliness, weird protoss stuff but thats normal i guess and siege drops into mass cyclones lol. me personally I not sure i like it so far, but thats cause i like actual build orders and such instead of this randomness, but I've heard alot of ppl like the crazy chaotic game play but its to random for me right now. I think it will be much better when things get better figured out but not sure right now how i feel. also i play random, if that matters, and i tell my race.
i came here to kickass and chew bubblegum and i'm all out of bubble gum
