I really know its a hassle sometimes to read every page and all the conversations, but sometimes people look like total idiots for the things they post because they dont. It has been iterated countless times.
-it is 2% of the ENTIRE regions (diamond may only be 8% on sc2ranks. but it is ACTIVE players) (think about all the bronze players that are inactive compared to the more active/competitive diamond player hence the huge difference between 8% total to 20% active in diamond and 40% total to 20% active in bronze)
someone confirmed that aronud 2,000 players are in masters league. that means that it is roughly around 2% or 10% of diamond (like the above poster said, .20(20%indiamond) x .1(10%ofdiamond) = .02(2%overall)
I think it is more like 2500 people get into masters but it only has been 1 day so people still havent played etc. so it looks about right. I think on threads like this, you should really read through all the conversations because it really sheds light on everything and prevents people from looking really dumb by stating something that has been proven wrong the page right before it ^^. Cheers.

Diamond means top 7 8 % from the populations.. 10% from Diamond will mean 0,7 - 0,8 % off all players not 2%. There is a big difference. Anyhow around 1% will be Masters and this is ok like this. No. Diamond is the top 20% (-masters league) from all active players. You sure ? http://sc2ranks.com/stats/league/all/1/allIt's far from top 20% and how does the system count in active or inactive accounts... The system cannot count inactive or active accounts or even if it is counting this doesn't affect anything. And btw.. where do you see this, give a link, that diamond is top 20%.. I give a really good link with the 7-8%, please prove that diamond is top 20%...
filter sc2ranks.....for the past 7 days active.....youll get a good decent number....please stop trying to argue whats been proven wrong several times in the thread -0-
edit: who knows what kind of system blizzard uses but i think sc2ranks counts people as active even if they play 1 game. so it shows the very last game they played. I think there was a system before where people who played 5 games? got beta keys? maybe im wrong but blizzard might use another system. so who knows.

may not be perfect. but random bronze players play games every once in awhile so its almost impossible to keep a perfect ratio.

here's the link for each division being 20% active players..

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. Because the Diamond League accounts for 20% of all active players, even the #1 ranked player in your Diamond division may not necessarily be promoted to Master League. Our automated placement system compares your player skill to that of all players in your region by way of matches played, just as we do with the Top 200, to determine eligibility.

I just got promoted to masters league after going 1-4 with like 60 games overall.So 2% you wish,master league is just the new diamond. After a few more patches we are going to have like 10 different categories when they could simply remove the bonus pool  ladder is so weird

Okay so why does it specifically say top 2% in your active region on the Blizzard announcement? They are misleading?

LOL are you being serious? I really suggest you reading one of posts before asking a question like this

Great job excaliber thanks for always doing this  .
I went from 2826 diamond s class to 2306 masters. I dropped from 2950 in one night before the patch. Not sure if that effected my masters points...... Actually if I'm not mistaken is it your points that determine your points in masters and just mmr to get into masters league.

Hey quick question.. what does it mean if i have a 2.1k bonus pool? 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). While it's not EU, I know infinity21 got promoted with only about 1800
I also had 1.1k+ bonus pool lol

Yeahhhh.. I'm on the US, haven't played in months. My bonus pool has 1500 unspent. I just played one singular game and got promoted to Masters. Rest assured, I am not in the top 2% of America.
92nd place (out of 89) in Hellion Tango!

I am the saddest player in the world: 2.7k on the Eu server and didn't promote... shall I hang myself with an ethernet wire, or swallow a mouse cut into pieces?

I was 1750 diamond with 1k bonus and i promoted winning a game and have 1327 points atm

Masters league is basically the new diamond, anyone can get in. (If you are active) Very disappointing.
What are you talking about? Stop with the elitism. I haven't seen anybody post who isn't deserving of Master League. I'm a 2200 diamond who has been working hard on improving, and I won't get in "just by being active". I have to improve my game a lot. I'm so sick of comments like this.

Clearly your hidden MMR is probably in the 2700+ range. Promotion isn't based on winrate and it doesn't care how many games you've played. It cares about your hidden MMR and 60 games is enough to show the system that you are on even footing with players in the 2700+ diamond range and thus deserve the promotion.

Lol elitist, I wish. I consider myself very mediocre at this game, especially solo. I thought master's league would be elite players, semipro or just below. If someone like me can get into master's it means nothing at all.

Someone with 1200 points who hasn't played in awhile got promoted to Masters... this is just dumb.

yeaah.. kinda same feelings here. It would've been cooler if you actually had to know how to play in order to get into Master. I haven't been playing much sc2 lately and thought it would be nice new goal to try get into Master league. Lost 3 games, won 1, got promoted to Master --> back to WoW. No skills needed.

1500 diamond.... 1k or 2k+ bonus pool, havent played in a long time, got in with masters with 1 game
