i have the chance of a snowball in hell to get into grandmasters league, but if there is no demotion and blizzards seasons last like what 3 month, then the real top200 and the grandmasters league are something entirely different at the end :o, that is not really competitive at all <.<

Yeah the only question is whether someone with a highly volatile MMR can be put into grandmasters. I believe Excalibur_Z has said that league promotions and demotions aren't made when MMR volatility is high. The system waits until you've settled down a bit by getting closer to a 50% win rate (edit: I think getting close to a 50% win rate isn't necessary, but I think it's the fastest way to have your moving average "settle" so that's what I think of), and then it makes its decision about what league you should be in.

So I think it's possible someone could have made a new account yesterday, gone 50-0, had top 10 MMR on the server, but would not get in grandmasters.


They changed that around the time Master league got released. Now it's solely based upon moving average and doesn't require stability (because moving average is its own stability measure). Alejandrisha's smurf for example went 23-0 to get from Platinum into Diamond whereas previously that wouldn't have been possible.

Promotions also happen more aggressively than they used to, but you can no longer skip leagues. If someone has a really high win streak starting in Bronze for example, then they would get promoted every 2-4 games into Silver then Gold then Plat, etc. Under the initial version of the system, you would have had to wait during those games then level off your MMR somewhere then you would get promoted straight into Diamond.

well I can say one thing.. if what TOP is saying is true (in that season 1 doesnt matter, its whos top 200 in points right now in these past 2 weeks).. then I wish I played more this week!

Looks like if you dont get into GM now, its gonna be insanely hard to ever get in since people cant drop out from losses.

Season 1 impacts your chances by importing your old MMR into Season 2. But your MMR can change a lot in 2 weeks too.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

GM league was available before they got the patch.

We have 182 bonus pool already, which means more than 2 weeks, so it seems we are bugged or someone actually needs to press the botton on Blizzard side.

Pretty silly if you as me that the G-Master league is based on frequency of play an hidden MMR, instead of actual achievements.

Winning games to get a high MMR is an actual achievement.

How is B.net 2.0 supposed to keep track of how many final custom games you win?

edit: You need to realize that this is for the LADDER.
