EPTIf it's going to be two leagues above diamond, I vote Rainbow Road League and Star Power League. When I heard all the Rainbow suggestions, I thought of Mario Kart, but it seems a lot of people think of homosexuals, so to distinguish between Mario Kart league and Gay League, I named it Rainbow Road League instead of Rainbow League. Though the Pearl League idea mentioned previously would be awesome too. But then again, what would the league higher than Pearl be? White League? lol (can't have the White League being above the Black League, that would be straight up racist!)

It's going to be the league for the pros, where only top 2% of Diamond League, or top 100 overall, or something like that will be playing at." source I'm curious to know what people think about this, do you think it will have a positive effect on the current system, do you think it'll be significant? It seems like this is the kind of thing a lot of you kids have been wanting to see recently.  how do they think it's being revealed in Blizzcon if it's already revealed lol bad blizzard! | ||

I mean, chess is the father of all strategy games, and the top percentile of chess players are called Grandmasters. So why not give that title to the very top of Starcraft 2? I kinda like it. | ||

I just worried that many of the real Pro's are not taking the ladder too seriously as many of them do custom games. There should be some kind of incentive in place for being a "GrandMasters", other than just the title. | ||

I know there isn't really a way around this problem happening, but it's frustrating all the same. But I definitely think the top amateurs from the ladder should be recognized and be given chances at bigger tournaments and the like. | ||

Well the top GrandMasters are prob going to be who gets invited to the various blizzard tourneys, I think thats pretty good motivation. | ||
