In theory you would hit the limit of people in a league. It's supposed to be 2%, but who knows with Blizzard. Will see in a few days I'd imagine. | ||

On January 13 2011 03:42 decaf wrote: Yeah divisions.. didn't get much to sleep for days now.. There are already 25 divisions for the US (if you check sc2ranks) and 16 for the EU, but I kinda don't think that's gonna be as high as it will get, but the ratio (25 : 16) will remain the same. It's cool to have a league only including so few divisions. But I think even the masters league needs modifiers and it may very well have, because I'm in the same division as mondragon and a friend of mine (who's better than me) is in the same division as WhiteRa and another one (who's better too) got Madfrog. So there might be a modifier, dunno though. I'm still not seeing any evidence of modifiers for Master league, they still seem to be popping up only one division at a time (sc2ranks isn't the most accurate source for this because divisions aren't all updated simultaneously). Inevitably what we'll see is those very good players start separating themselves from the pack, just as what happened with Diamond league only to a more obvious degree. | ||

I am now ranked 33rd in Master division Ehlna Chi at 2331 pts (no games played since promotion). So I lost 434 points and I had no bonus pool. Not sure if that info is helpful Excalibur, but just wanted to throw it out there. ppgBubbles and NrGMalice in my division. :D | ||

I've gone 5-0 today, still no promotion. =S Aah, the first 4 games were against 2500-2700 diamonds, but the fifth one was against a master. Sighity sigh, maybe I just need to win more against masters. Though this guy in Masters is 144-133, way worse ratio than me. >< Sigh I'm irritated. | ||

I don't see the pros seperating from the non-pros division-wise. I don't know how it looks like in NA but in the EU the pros are WAY more spread out now. They used to be in like 2 division, now there are 0-3 pros per division (most commonly there will be one well-known pro per division) | ||

Went from being #2 and having no hope of ever hitting #1 (he was ~300-400pts ahead of me at any given time) to ~35 in Master. My division once again matters to me, and I can look at my rank to see if I am improving on a daily basis. | ||

I'm saying their points will increase more rapidly than other players, and that will be more evident because there are no division tiers in Master league obfuscating things. The only reason so many well-known players were grouped together in the same 2-3 Diamond divisions (which were all not coincidentally S-Rank) is because they were able to rise to the highest tier of Diamond. | ||

Since you can't get moved from one division to another, isn't the reason a lot of pros got into the same division because they were more likely to be the first ones to be promoted to diamond? I didn't get to diamond until a month after the game came out when all of the pros were already in a full diamond division. I could have gone 2000-0 and I still wouldn't have gotten put in one of their divisions, right? | ||
