"Only the top 2% of active players in each region will be elevated to the Master League." "The top 2% of players from the Diamond League (as determined by our system) will be promoted to the Master league starting with patch 1.2" The importance difference in these two sentences is will be promoted to the Master league starting with patch 1.2. The second sentence relates to the question "Will the Master League start with the launch of the patch?", so we can guess that what they're saying is: Top 2% of diamond get in initially with the release of the patch But the top 2% overall can eventually get into Masters. | ||

Why? Top 2% of ALL users would = almost HALF of diamond league on SEA server. (4.65% of SEA players are Diamond according to sc2ranks). Which would be...strange to say the least; more or less just a replacement for Diamond league. Top 2% of DIAMOND LEAGUE players would = 329 (rounded) From the blog post by SEA Starcraft 2 it shows that the Grand Master League will be the Top 200 of each region. If that is the case then you would only have 129 players in Masters League once Grand Master League comes out for SEA. That leaves us with; Top 2% of all ACTIVE users. Sort of an in-between. http://sc2ranks.com/stats/region/sea/all/all (check bottom of page) | ||

Top 2% of diamond will be >0.1% of the active playerbase, and this is something of a ridiculous figure that will put people off. The only question now is if I should go for master. I think it will be easier on SEA than on NA. | ||

Still, the change does prevent double-bunker walloffs - see the yellow unbuildable tiles in this screenshot: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rwXhA.png) The best you can do with two is diagonally touching, which does leave a small gap. | ||

It's just the top 2% of Diamond players who still play. That's all. Diamond is full of inactive players. | ||

Also is it possible for Terrans to block their ramp with a barracks and a supply depot anymore? | ||
