On my second account I was 1600 and my first win today got me into Masters, so likely you are not high enough. | ||

To reiterate: will there be, for example, 5 Master's Ranked Leagues and if you no longer qualify, you will be demoted to Diamond and someone will take your spot immediately? My question might sound like what we currently have with other leagues, but perhaps more strict or just more competitive. Thanks. | ||

EDIT: Ah, it's confirmed that it's 10% of active Diamonds. Master's league contains the top 2% of the region. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/2053471#blog | ||

There is no point translation as was found in lower leagues. Any idea why Blizzard went with this approach? It's a bit strange to go from 2900 to 2300. If I'm 2300, then that means I've used up 2227 bonus pool points? It seems as if this is basically to mitigate the power of the bonus pool since you're only getting credit once for the points (not the win + bonus pool). Am I correct? | ||

It waits until it's fairly certain and then it promotes you where it thinks you belong. | ||

After doing so they aren't going to play 1's ever again. They simply want the icon only. Statistically, the more you play, the lower your win ratio should become. It's just math, you HAVE to lose games sometime. I also think a 2.5k player with a 400-350 ratio should be more deserving than a 1.2k w/ bonus pool with a 25-10 ratio or whatever. For all I know that 25-10 could drop to a 400-400 by the time he gets to the number of games. for all you know you're actually worse than 1.2k w/ bonus pool with a 25-10 ratio and you're just whining the system is fine, it works off MMR not ladder rating (all ladder rating means is that you've played a lot of games, it doesn't mean you're skilled at all) and you're just mad because people you think are worse than you are getting that icon ^>^ | ||

O_O It means that: a) you haven't played much games b) you lack the skill of reading this thread On topic: I'm a more or less borderline EU-case (1270 points, 1200 bonus pool; matched up against 2500-2700 in my recent games). I would really appreciate it if people who got promoted in EU and are rather "low" could report their points. Although I obviously realize it's based on MMR, since this isn't visible, I'd love to know the "average points-cap" for the EU-region (bonus pool added for obvious reasons). | ||

Edit: fix quote The grand master league will be the top 200, The master league is top 2% in diamond in your region. It has a lot of bugs because some people who have only 1000 points and less are getting into it. I hope they get it all sorted out though so ladder can have stable rankings | ||

Im the same except 2000 and playing against 2700+, This is due to your MMR being the same level as the players who you are playing against. | ||

I hope they get it all sorted out though so ladder can have stable rankings but those with 1k points who were promoted prolly have massive bonus pool and an MMR mich higher than their points. Promotion is based on MMR and not points. | ||

From the link http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/2053471#blog: "Q: How do I get into the Master League? A: Only the top 2% of active players in each region will be elevated to the Master League." OR "Q: Will the Master League start with the launch of the patch? A: The top 2% of players from the Diamond League..." There's a pretty significant difference between top 2% in the region (which, as others have said, amounts to ~top 10% in Diamond), and top 2% in Diamond. Does anyone know which it is? | ||
