until the gameplay is at a level where combat-ex isn't in the top 10, the ladder will never be taken that seriously


i think ppl are to rude with this guy, he just play unorthodoxes build and once in a while cannon rush
that are part of the game.


Did you watch Idra's stream last night? He was so BM in all 3 games that Idra simply ignored him and didn't talk back to him, yes Idra actually ignored someone BM'ing him. He was basically spamming chat through each game calling Idra every name in the book along with insulting everything he could think of through the entire game from the first 6 drones to his eventual ragequit with no GG.

CombatEx was doing some hard trolling on Idra. He plays well tho. He just needs to play quiet and he will be respected.

There is a difference between spamming a little and joking around. However combat-ex is taking it way beyond that.

I dont really care for general shit talk and trolling, most of the times its actually quite fun or easy to ignore. The problem with combat-ex though is that he is relentless with his trolling/bming, attacking almost any pro in sight. If you ever wathed incontrol stream i think you will know why i say that i hope that piece of shit never make an impact in this scene

Well I've never seen iNcontrol playing against him, so maybe I'm missing something. When I was watching Idra's stream, it looked like he was just trying really hard to get some attention by trolling pro gamers.

one thing i dont understand is it says there must be an open slot

so if the first 200 players in this league remain active there is no chance for the others to get in unless one of them gets demoted?that doesnt really make sense to me because what happens when rank 201's mmr becomes higher its still not possible to enter?not that ill make it there but i hope i just missunderstood

I wish grandmasters leagues would be top 200 of every server into 1 server optional, it would give more incentive to try to get top 200.

To me it's just another league, it really doesn't say anything to me.. top 200 changes drastically every month for the top lower half..

What is Blizzards` reasoning for disabling MMR pro/demotions from and to GM league?

The further in the season the more outdated the GM League will be. Top 50 master league players will probably all have higher MMR than bottom 50 GM players.

First two weeks of the season award 200GM spots, last xx weeks award another 3-10? spots due to inactive GMers?

I sure hope top players have enough incentive to play a lot the first two weeks.

This.

The whole point of the GM league is to provide a CONSTANT top level league where the CURRENTLY best players are, not the ones that were best two months ago. What the hell is the point of having a 3-month long gallery for the players that played best during a 2 week period?

It takes away most of the benefit of the GM league: the incentive to get there by playing well in Master and the status that you are among the best of the best right _now_.

There needs to be an open slot within the ladder.
You need to be in the top 200 players according to a rolling average of your skill rating.
You must be eligible.

Q. What does eligible mean?
A. To be eligible, your unused bonus pool must be less than 180.

So if I got 200 Bonuspool NOW!, I cant get into gradnmaster in 2 weeks?
am i right?
