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


Haha sry didn't read later posts!

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 ?


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.



Ya he won a couple today after gm went live. Its just odd to me since we have been identical in rating for the last 9 months almost. You would think our MMR is similar.. maybe I just peaked at the right time

I'd bet if he wins a few more he'll pass someone and be in. Seems to be happening for a few people already.

I wish blizzard would implement some sort of system to give priority to people who have played more. As it is, you're much better off getting into GM with 30 games played than 300.

It really depends. top 200 was only based on points and it was very possible to have people in the top 200 with sub top 200 MMR. I guess we'd need to know how many games he played and win% and his opponents and on and on and on

I'm biased because I'm GM with only 25 games, but just because you have 300 games doesn't mean you should be ranked above someone who has 30 games but is better than you. People had thousands of games in iCCup, does that mean they deserve to be A+ for effort? The 300 games should just be treated by the player as something that is helping them improve

I think he is referring to the fact that you can make a new account and achieve a very high mmr quickly, then stop playing to preserve it, giving you advantage into new leagues... by having a minimum game requirement it forces people who arent at their true mmr to play enough to achieve it.

This probably only affects a handful of people, but I can understand his point

So if you don't get in on the first two weeks, and all players stay active, you can't get into GM even if you become #1 in NA in the third week?


If all of the top 200 players who have been preselected all play their games right when the league goes live, they will stay in that league for the entire season regardless of performance, as long as they are able to keep their bonus pool below 270. Basically this is to showcase the top 200 players on the server but the activity requirement is there to keep the league from stagnating.

If it were just the top 200 then the bottom ~70-80ish slots would probably be fluctuating constantly.

Yeah, that's true.

However I'm somewhat dissatisfied with it because if players aren't laddering like beasts now, they won't be able to make it into grandmaster

Holy shit, you're grandmaster?

Didn't expect that >.> (well, considering how well you do at everything else)
