Activity Rule
Grandmaster players remain in Grandmaster League until the end of the season. If your bonus pool accumulates to 180 (2 weeks' worth), you are automatically removed from Grandmaster League and a new player will take your spot. This is the only way to get removed from this league.
I was hopeful, I gave Blizz credit that maybe they'll make some revisions about the algorithm so that grandmasters will actually mean something, I argued for them while they scoffed and told to to look at how inaccurate the leagues are now but I was like I trust blizz to do this, but not, this is what they give me for my faith T_T

Artosis saying he didn't make it in yet even after being placed 80th on the us server, is the list complete or are there still spots open?

162 spots filled now. #80 by points (yesterday) is definitely not enough. sjArtosis has 821 points right now. I think he needs to win 5-6 straight to get to 900pts if he wants to make it in. His MMR isn't high enough. It didn't help that battlenet matched him up with SixjaxTerran on backwater gutch (who he lost to).
Artosis so far today.

Is there a way to view GM league even though you aren't in it, and don't have a friend who's in it? I can't currently check.

you either have to be logged into the site or ingame to check now, which is kinda annoying since you could check top 200 without being logged in before.

You do?

Or am I missing the point? I'm not logged into battle.net and I can see it fine.

People who think seasons will only be 2 months long clearly haven't played WoW...

Has anyone else noticed that Sorcery, who admitted to hacking on this forum and whose average APM is around 40 (if I'm not mistaken), is in grand master?

Sorry I should of been more specific.
Is there a way to check in-game without being in it / having a friend in it. If there is how do you go about it?

And I'm told that Sorcery has a second account in GM - LaTeGaMe.

While this is somewhat true, I don't think it will be comparable as in WoW you have to completely gear up for the new season, then with all the new gear, compete. Also, WoW is getting old now.
Compared to SC2, their baby, on the front of eSports, which doesn't require all the gearing up, will probably rotate sooner. They'll probably go in some sort of rotation:
-Start new season
-2 weeks before GM opens
-X(6-8?) weeks before league lock.
-X(3-4?) weeks before end of season.
-New map pool released
-X weeks of exhibition games (to familiarize).
-(start at top)
This would make the most sense to me.

The reason is blizzard wants to release arena seasons with new raids, which take a while to make new gear for both raiding and arena + the raiding content. So you cant really compare it

New season on WoW requires new tier on PvE content and gear which is not fast to develop.
New season on SC2 requires... deciding when is it going to happen and just do it.

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? I have the same question, please answer excalibur, thanks.
im pretty sure it will still be able to have ppl fall out and new players come in the the mmrs for the ones trying to get in get higher than the ones already in.
|
I still don't believe people can't get demoted if they fall too much on MMR, so I'll wait and see with my own eyes, but the blog Blizzard made about it really only indicates one way to get demoted: getting a bonus pool higher than 180.

Edited to remove a point that several other people made. Should have read ALL the replies before posting, sorry.

I kinda prefer that you can't be demoted. It's such a huge stress getting into the damn league in the first place. Lacing every ladder game with a risk of losing your position would take a lot of enjoyment out of the game - for me anyway.
