As previously stated whoever makes it in will most likely be there for the entire season. 270 bonus pool really seems a little silly to prevent stagnating, 90 days is by no means a short period of time.

Not like it matters to me, no grandmaster for me anytime soon [read: ever]

This is incorrect, I've been comparing my Div with GM and there's players with enough points that have played a game tonight and have not been promoted into GM. The Blizz blog post also said selection would be based on MMR.

Ooh didn't know that, thanks for the info

You do indeed. There's only about 50 in the league right now, because the rest haven't logged on.

On US, that is.

it's more than just logging on, you have to play one more game to be promoted, i believe

I find it a bit silly that dropping the bonus pool is the only way to get out of the league. So if someone was top 200 the first two weeks of the season, he could basically lose to the point where he's only playing bronze leaguers and still be in grand masters? lol

Either way I'm excited to see who the players will be

lol someone should do this just to mess with blizzard's system. though blizzard would probably ban them for exploiting the system or some crap.

x_X I haven't even taken the time to play 1v1, now there's no chance to get into GM, looks like you just have to play your ass off for the first 2 weeks.
