Not true at all. It's all based on MMR. I just played FnaticMSiKR. He had a record of 15-10 this season and got promoted. Last season he was 1,665pt 232-122 record. He just had to play one game too.

those of you crying the system is unfair because it locks the league have problems looking around. SC1: after someone lost his qualification to MSL/OSL did he have a chance to go in during the middle of it? NO. Football, Champions League: if you blew your chance to qualify for this season does it matter that you are currently on the top of your domestic table? No, good luck next YEAR.
If there are xxx masters divisions there is no competion. If the absolute leader changes every day or weak there is no competion. Creating a locked limited division with time limit to compete is closest to competition you can get in the current ladder system.

Pretty hard to get into GM when I can't get SC2 to work T_T. Anyone else having problems patching?

question: if i get promoted, can i drop out in the first 2 weeks or something? or just due to inactivity?

you drop out if your bonus pool gets to 170-180 or above. So just be active and you keep it for the season.

kk ty. im ranked 93 atm, but i still dont think i get promoted cause if its only mmr... there are guys with 20 games and 18-2 or so... no idea how this works. god i hate blizzard rating systems, you never know where you stand

I think so, but Blizzard bans the account and not the person.

there's a guy thats like 9-10 who was an innactive master's player last season (2100 points but with a 130-90 record) who's in master's.... I dont think blizzard incorporated their "Active player" requirement in the initial placement of people into master's
I bet we'll see a few drop outs over the course of the first weeks of this season.

Hmm.. somehow got it being only 3800 S1 (200 pool though) and playing like 15 games in season 2. Seems like it's only dependent on MMR which is much different from how top200 always worked.

Yes... well... we've established that already =p

wow david kim in grand masters..blizz hacks!

I finished last season tanking down to 3700... i spent almost all of beta in top 50, and whenever i was active after launch in the top 150. I quit for a month around 3k masters (top 100 at the time) came back ran to 3900 lost to 3700 before season 2 started( around top 400 maybe )..
Season 2 hit i started out rough getting to top 200 with like 40% win ... finsihed last night with 795 pts good for 115th(finally with positive win % too!) when i logged off. Logged on this morning and won 6 games or so before i got promoted into GM. So working your way in works.
On the other hand my roommate rssinatra spent almost the entire season in top 200, and all of season 2 in top 200, and did not got a promotion. Our mmrs are nearly identical only he never quit for a month, so his was higher a few days ago, having grinded up to 750 after maybe 3 days of s2(top 50).
How this system works is .. strange ?

This is exactly same as me lol.... Last season I made it top 200 in the final week after improving alot. Last two weeks have been really good for me I've been playing (and sometimes even beating) some well known players. However the last week and continueing is the start of exam week so im super stressed as it is... Went on huge tilted losing streak trying to get games in to secure a spot in GM... Mass losses and now I have to wait till next season TT...
I think its kind of stupid to have the season locked in for so long. Realistically theres nobody in top 200 right now that at least doesnt play a few games a week no matter what. Even in the event of like a family death, exams, anything... You need very few games to clear the bonus pool requirements...
Then to see some dude with a 9wins 10 losses in grand masters??? LOL

So happy. Promoted!
Started off with 2 wins over master league players, one win vs Grandmaster, one lost vs Grandmaster, then a win vs a master league player to get promoted!!
I think this provides some evidence that blizzard does consider MMR volatilty. My MMR should be at the highest before I lost to the grandmaster player. Yet I get promoted after I beat a masters's level player.

Has he won a game since GM league went live? I see 4 wins followed by 3 losses but there's no specific timestamp on the web profiles.
