Maybe the map god updated, but to download it one has to press "Find a Game", did anyone try that and than try to check whether Shakuras Pylon bug is still in?

You will drop alot of points when go into master league. Example 3000 go down to 2300.

I am concerned that they still haven't fixed the positional imbalances on certain maps.

Admittedly it's a relatively minor issue but it's also one with such a simple fix, custom map makers were putting out things like Refined Scrap Station months ago. What possible reason could Blizzard have for not doing anything?

Yea same as like you did when you go from plat to diamond. I guess this means Master League is not a separate league ie no divisions, sorted based on MMR leagues that we were hoping for. It is just adding another league on top of diamond. Kinda disappointing but i hope GM league will make up for that.

I believe it is a good time to collect data as well for the Division Tier thread .

@Yoshi Kirishima - I don't think so. They just took the screenshot the moment when the 'shine' animation occurs. If you wait a bit the icons will have a 'shine flash' animation. That is what is captured there.

Master would be, though, if it works the way I think it works, the only league that will demote people just based on how active they are instead of purely wins/losses/MMR

example: In theory, every single player in the world could be in Diamond league. This is not true of Masters league

Yes but its a step forward and you have to be in the top 5% of diamond to get it.

top % of diamond is actually quite easy, I think most people are thinking like 3k+ or something, it's actually only 2600 around for NA. Remember most Diamond players are under 1k, cus a lot of ppl are good but just don't have the time to play so many matches xD

Is it true that the SCV change only does anything when they're repairing units, and that fighting around a planetary fortress is exactly the same as it was before?

These players had a huge difference in points on top 200 (diamond), but now they all have 2300 points? That's interesting... it seems promotion not only have "offsets", but they also cut extra points from some kind of "inflation". That explains people getting promoted to S rank diamond losing 400-800 points, but it being more stable on E-A ranks.

Ratings on SEA, on average, are lower than the NA for whatever reason
