Oh, they're in there the whole season?

I guess this is good for them, but not so much for the rest of us.

Hopefully the season will start to be shorter like Browder planned (3-4 or so per year) =D

I really dont understand or like the GM system. For example, how can some great players not make it, while MaryLand is number 11 on EU GM right now with almost 300 games played these past 2 weeks... last season he was a 2800 diamond player... somehow he inflated his MMR high enough to enter GM during these 2 weeks.

So poor, cant' even pay attention.

MMR = skill.
The only way to "inflate it" is to get better...

how in the hell is some guy named supermenke in GM with a losing record and catz isn't in it at all?

I understand "win/loss doesnt mean a thing" but lets be real. Do you really think SuperMenke is better than Catz?

Edit: I'm just wondering how in the world blizz's mmr system measured that SuperMenke has higher mmr than Catz.
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

SuperMenke was only about 2k points with 64% win ratio in season 1. So he had a good MMR coming from there, but that coupled with his bad winrate so far I fail to see how he's top 200 MMR or however the system decides to place in grandmasters.

i dont like the system

if you eg. if play in korea for a ladder season and then you move to america, you have to wait 2 ladder seasons to reach grandmaster

I wonder if it actually matters. If you get good enough, you will face grandmaster players whole the time, while you are still in masters. I don't think good players care about their league. Ladder is decent practice for them, but that should be it.

All I know is vileHasHe didn't make GM and he's ranked 7th on sc2ranks AND he was top40 according to the last top 200 blizzard post.


With all the cheese happening in masters league last night, it's absolutely ridiculous how this GM placement happened. Blizzard HAS to have a games-played floor for GM otherwise this whole thing is pointless. What's the point of a top 200 league when players who have been top 200 since the list started haven't made GM?

This whole fiasco is just another reason why I don't understand MMR being hidden, ESPECIALLY in masters league. Does anyone else think the points system is completely and utterly pointless?


EDIT: You can also add thisisjimmy to the growing list of people that didn't make GM (as of this posting) and should have.

They could use grandmaster as pre-reqs to tournaments, or more likely as qualifying for battle-net finals at blizzcon.

What's wrong with just having a top 200 ladder based on MMR.. This is GM league so dumb and unintuitive , prone to abuse and in no way representative of the best players in their respective regions because of it's innate flaws and ease of being abused.

You are either trolling me or you don't know how to read(not ment in a offensive way), in either case, I WANT a top 200 ladder based on MMR, not a GM league that updates 1 time a season.

To be more specific, a real live top 200 ladder page updated LIVE based on MMR.

I don't think they're going to change anything for this season, which means we have 3 months of a pointless GM league.


Before anyone starts: Yes, I know there's some in there that deserve it, but it's still pointless if it's not a true depiction of top 200 skill level.
