I have it on good authority that this name, Grand Master, was picked due to a conspiracy of freemasons inside Blizzards high rankings.

I fail to see how this is that important. I mean games were made cross league before, and they will be made cross league after that right? So players will still meet exactly the same players as before.
So it seems to be just another tag, basically just as important as achievements. Or am I missing something here?

Diamond league comprises of the top ~5-6% of players in the world. The top 2% of that (the top .12% in the world) comes out to around the top ~1,000 players, not the top 100 O_o

One of my motivations to climb the ladder is so that I have a good chance at playing with the pros, with this league that seems so much further off
Jaedong gives me a deep resonance.

Well im not sure if adding leagues wil change much.
What if a new guy wants to go pro but aint so good, wouldnt leagues just be demotivational?

wasnt the level system for wc3 better? less stuff to worry about?
well never liked the SC2 menus, interface, matchmaking, custom games or ranking system.
So I don't care about it - only like to play the game for the actual gameplay, not all the random gimmicks that just well, suck.

well i love SC2 and the gameplay but almost everything else about the game isn't that great.
Custom hosting in wc3/BW was 1000X better, we can all say the same about the menus and lan support.

Not trying to bash the game but cmon, is moar leagues really going to do anything?

this is lawl.
so many complaints from people who prolly wont be in the league ^_^.

tot}ColmA has a good point though few good players, or a lot of bad players enter it and poisons the concept of the league itself.

Very cool. I hope it's top 500ish and has an "elite" vibe to it. Happy to see this and it gives me something to work towards.

Well, the benefit of the bonus pool is that it discourages rushing to 2500 or whatever and then not playing until the season ends.

My question is... What will the picture for Grand Master League be? Will it be a old man's face with a long white beard? Cause that would be hilarious.


Old man's face with a long white beard? YOU MEAN THE DUMBLEDORE LEAGUE!?

I propose that alongside this 'dumbledore league' that there must be a 'grack league' directly below it!
and the number j is not fu**ing funny!

You can't rush with an ELO system.

I like "Grand Master" =D "Grand Master League" sounds stupid of course but saying "I'm a Grand Master at SC2" is pretty sweet. Plus it reminds me of Grand Master chess players, but of course those people are on a totally different caliber of awesome.

They did hint earlier that there would be 2 leagues above diamond.

If that is the case, a masters and grandmasters league fits pretty well.

i would rather like to see a more visible and logical rating before more leagues are created especially the mmr and the differences between new and old leagues are pretty strange and foggy

It's not going to change much. YOu need to be top diamond to play with the pros anyway. The only thing this will change is shift the top 1-10 or so diamond up a league. You can still get paired with people from a different league.

Silver - from Pokemon

Grand Master - from Pokemon TCG?

Seriously guys, call it Pearl league, and put a few legendary achievements you can only get in Pearl
