some notes:

The only division in Master's league on SEA atm has 92 people.

Also there is a player in there at 31-13, which tells you it's possible to get there on MMR alone.

Lastly, that guy hasn't played a 1's game in over 2 months. So he didn't need a win to get promoted. (although he did play a custom game vs AI (left/lost) in 1.2, so maybe that promoted him? Someone could test this once it goes live on NA.

ahh yeah thats me http://i.imgur.com/kxNgZ.jpg
it was weird tbh, when i queue 1v1 quick match there was no count down. but i did only played 1 game (won) and then got promoted to masters. what is weird it doesnt show in match history for me or the dude i vs'd (Hut i believe) i got the replay (i played rusty)

and that practice game was me to check out ramp blocking, not related to the promotion.

Lol Blizz never fails to disappoint when it comes down to random stuff that could be done with little effort...the new icons look terrible what I can see so far, the Master-League-Icon doesn't even look as cool as frickin platinum.

3 posts above you.

Either I'm blind now or the "3 posts above his" didn't deal with this question at all. Although it's completely irrelevant, I'd like to know if there are master leagues for team rankings too. Since I'm borderline in 1v1-MMR but consistently in top 500 EU according to SC2-ranks in 2v2, this would increase my chances to get one of these ugly icons as well

And yes, I've scanned through all pages, maybe I just overlooked the post where this was discussed?

Also it would be nice if people with a borderline rating could post it, in case they got promoted to Master's League.

darekkhort, its better if you can highlight your name in black, if that is not your real name then ignore this post

Nobody knows how many people out there that can steal personal info, not to mention your account :O

Good point, thanks mate! :D

Here's an updated one.
Unlike in PTR, we can now have multiple private channels open as well as one public channel! :O

May I ask how the new replay saving features and such are working out?

lol YES! woot for the protoss buffs! love the observer cost decrease, since toss is so gas heavy if you use a lot of sentries.

"Players can no longer block off ramps with two 2x2 buildings"
Does barrak count as 2x2 building? We cant put 2 bunkers or supply depos, and what about barrak and supply?

I'm curios what type of anti-spam/anti-troll measures are built into chat channels beyond reporting players.

2x2 means 4 blocks on the grid setting. i.e. a pylon is a 2x2 building while a barrack is 3x3.

Incidentally I don't think this affects walling off at the top of the ramp at all, only the bottom and is designed as a fix for a strategy protoss were using against Zug.
