Or even if you aren't active. I haven't been playing for the last 2 months, chilled around 1900ish with 700+ bonus. Got promoted to Masters on my first game.

Well if the stabilized MMR requirement is based on a value generated from statistics of all players, then the people let in may be let in by a proportional MMR requirement, thus by definition not everyone can get into any league (except theoretically bronze).

Hey Excalibur I have a question for you.

Is the Masters league going to be like Diamond where inactive players are able to remain in the league? Or is Masters going to push out the inactive players? Because a lot of people will get into Masters and then go afk.

Oh yeah. I guess everyone could get into Master's as long as people in Master's go afk. That's of course making some assumptions, like MMR is calculated on a game-by-game basis instead of using some sort of global proportions algorithm, and that people won't be demoted for being afk. Blizzard might want to consider demoting inactive accounts when they fall below an MMR requirement, but at the moment it looks like people are only demoted or promoted after a game is played.

Edit: Or perhaps deleting inactive account's MMR, so that after say 90 days of inactivity (or whatever other value is decided) you have to go through placement matches again.

does the 2% cutoff mean it will be easier to get demoted? or how does that work?

You never get demoted due to inactivity, just removed from the population. So yes, you're right that people will probably get into Master then idle, since that happened with Diamond at the start.

Once the Masters league settles, we can determine how much of the region is in that league.

Also, hoping that inactive Master league players will get demoted if they fall below the cutoff.

Just wondering, what kind of MMR do you need to get into the Master's League? If I'm playing 2.3k diamond's, am I near the level of the people currently in it? My guess is that the average person in it was at the 2.5k-2.6k mark, but is that correct?

What do you mean "removed from the population"?

If you're inactive, you're no longer considered an "active player" and don't count toward those percentages.

According to sc2ranks.com, there are 542 501 players in Europe on ladder.

542 501*0.02 = 10 492

Players around rank 10 500 in diamond Europe has about 1900 points, so if the speculation that masters league will be the top 2% of the player base is true, 1900 points and above in the European diamond league will give you a spot in masters league. This equals roughly:

10 492/39 300 = 0.267 = the top 27% of the current diamond league.

Just some quick numbers, hopefully no thinking errors! Europe is best example since patch is not yet implemented here.

This would definitely clean out most of the bad people, but it would not be a super exclusive league either. But hey, thats what future grand master league is intended for, if there ever will be one.

You have to somehow know how many of those 542 501 are active for your calculation to be correct i think.

Does Sc2ranks have away to filter active player ( lets say have played ladder 1v1 in the last month)

It shouldn't work like that because promotions are based off of MMR and point totals are largely activity based. A player that has used up all of the bonus points to get 1900 would have a pretty low MMR and would likely be a borderline diamond/platinum player.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it's that simple. You have to factor in Diamond division ranks (S, A, B, C, D, E)

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=169830

So for example, if 1900 is the bottom of the top 2%, someone who has 1900 but is in a Code E division (1585 true rating), is not actually in that top 2%.

I've noticed something interesting. When you get promoted to Masters League, you leave behind an empty spot in your previous diamond division. That means pretty soon some of the top diamond divisions e.g. Observer Mars, Medivac Alamo etc will become virtually empty? Or will Blizzard pull in top platinum players to fill the spots?
