That Top 200 list is from yesterday at 4:30pm, before Master league went live. And if you read the OP it tells you why you have as many points as everyone else. | ||

also I dont see what the top 200 list has anything to do with being taken before Master league went live..i thought top 200 was related to MMR which isnt effected by the new master league / your points. so like if another top 200 was taken right now i'd still be right around there | ||

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%. Hm yah didn't really consider that(obviously ;P). As E is weighted +315, I guess it would be fair to say that 2215+ point players can be certain of getting in to masters, no matter division(A;S,E etc.) if the 2% statement stays true. | ||

The less obfuscated the system is, the easier it is for people to identify where they stand. There's no downside in that. | ||

This would put the approximate league populations at 2%/18%/20%/20%/20%/20% for active players. I've seen these numbers quoted by Blizzard, and then by others through that. They are wrong. The numbers look more like this: us (as of yesterday) number of players with 1v1 league: 669340 bronze 290913 (43.46%) silver 120081 (17.94%) gold 113385 (16.94%) platinum 89941 (13.44%) diamond 55020 (8.22%) kr number of players with 1v1 league: 277789 bronze 121045 (43.57%) silver 61929 (22.29%) gold 45650 (16.43%) platinum 28025 (10.09%) diamond 21140 (7.61%) tw number of players with 1v1 league: 93615 bronze 42314 (45.20%) silver 19885 (21.24%) gold 15289 (16.33%) platinum 9641 (10.30%) diamond 6486 (6.93%) So like 8%/11%/16%/21%/44% without the master league. | ||

On NA there were about 55100 diamond players. So, 10% of them (since all Diamond players are, for the most part considered active) would have been 5510 players. Right now there's only 1000 players in Masters. If you look at SEA, there's only 300 in Masters, and the Masters:Diamond ratio is not the same as seen in NA server. So it seems Blizzard "manually" selected set numbers for each region. Or SC2ranks.com is wrong. Or Masters' League is temporarily not allowing people to be promoted in, as I should have been promoted (played again after patch 1.2, and even won). In which case I'll have to be patient until it creates more divisions? Actually just realized, it's probably because they need to wait for another 100 or so people before they create a division, right? So yeah I'll have to be patient I guess until enough people fall into the Masters MMR region for more divisions to be created. | ||

Also I've seen these numbers quoted by Blizzard, and then by others through that. They are wrong. The numbers look more like this: Remember, before Master League, all leagues were balanced 20% for all ACTIVE players. Meaning, yes Bronze league is actually 45% of total population on a lot of servers, but most of that Bronze League is inactive. Diamond is supposed to be pure active (it's not always of course, because there will always be a few who will be demoted soon as soon as they play a game to make way for a more active Diamond-deserving player). But otherwise, Diamond is 20% of all active players, so you can say that the amount of players in Diamond is the same amount of active players in each league. | ||

Also, hoping that inactive Master league players will get demoted if they fall below the cutoff. The issue is that assuming there's a constant MMR cutoff (rather than percentage-based), if they go inactive after being promoted to Master League they're never going to drop below the cutoff since they're already above. Hence ladder resets with 1 "placement match" which really is just to sort out the inactive players from the leagues | ||

My division only has like 27 people in it so I don't think waiting for 100 players necessarily has anything to do with it. | ||

Not all Diamond players are active, go and look at NA Diamond with the activity filter set to "last month". You will notice that the number of pages of players drops from 542 to 271. On SEA it drops from 53 to 24. So really, only about half of all Diamond players even played a game in the last month. | ||
