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

You can't rush with an ELO system.


Uh, yes you can. Play enough games to get to 2500 the first week, don't ever play again until it resets.

Any plans on multiple diamond leagues? Diamond league tier 1 diamond, tier 2 diamond etc. Low diamond players and mid diamond players are quite far apart in terms of skills. Plus more leagues means more encouragement for players to climb the ladder.

Tbh I don't think any sc announcement I've heard for years is going to affect me, and most people less. I guess it's good for the pro players... don't hugely care what league they're in though.

Only different to the majority is to spawn a bunch of qqing and whining and complaining.

Please do something useful with your time Blizzard.

That would only be possible if your opponents had same amount of point because winning against a guy that has much less points wouldnt give you anything. So no, you can't. Besides, if one can make 2500 ELO he deserves it so i don't have anything against him not playing much afterwards.

Oh, how I wish this was the case. Regardless of how stupid rainbow league sounds, it certainly sounds less stupid than Grand Master, haha. It's good that they're doing it, but I'd go with another name.
Blah.

This GM league is just for 1v1 or available for other bracket? Personally I don think team games needs a new league level.

I was personally hoping for 2 more leagues. A rainbow league and then the ultimate double rainbow league for true gosus. And then after that maybe a bonjwa league, which 0 percent of people are in just to remind people there are no bonjwas.

Hm, thats gonna be a tough call cause if u put like the real top players in u might get the scenario where people search for games for a very long time cause of not enough players actually playing but if u put a lot of people in the top players might not really wanna play cause they dont get quality games going - probably only can be prevented by giving out prizemoney for winning etc.


I seem to not get your point at all

currently it's like basicly everybody who has a basic concept of how to play the game ends up in diamond...and the very best ppl get matched up against ppl of similar skill, if noone's available they'll play against slightly worse

I think ppl of the "grandmaster-league" (what a stupid name, cmon now) would still be able to play against all the other diamond players....with participation being invite only and not automatised or sth like that, dunno; my point is, I guess it's just another "league" and nothing that will change the way ppl are matched against each other

I wonder what the icon is, hopefully a rainbow. Maybe a double rainbow??

I think it's stupid. The only thing it does is give Diamond players a confidence boost. The matchmaking system matches similarly skilled players already.

Since top 2% is a fickle number, so I'm guessing they will do top 200 of ladder for each region, as they have been displaying the rankings.

AND

There will be 12 tournaments throughout 2011, and there will be 4 types of tournaments.

1. GSL (Ran in January, March, April, July and September) - Main League. 32 Code S players tournament and 64 Code A players tournament.
2. World Championship (Ran in June and October) - 4 representative from each region in a 16 man tournament.
3. Ladder Tournament (Ran in February, May, August and November) - Tournament to decide best of Battle.Net ladder. Top 200 from each region are invited to participate in a preliminary for a 16 man double elimination tournament.
4. Blizzard Cup (Ran in December) - Top 8 (of GSL ranking I'm guessing?) will be invited to decide the best player of the year in a Bo5 Playoff format tournament.
