Yeah, of course, go to your Leagues tab, you have button there to go to GrandMasters  .Special courtesy of Blizzard! | ||

TLO still isn't in it, no naniwa as far as I can see, maybe they haven't laddered that much? They just have not played yet, but TLO is in the American one. People need to stop complaining really. If you are not in, you either have not played enough to reach the desired MMR level, or you are not good enough to reach it. Reality check! :D | ||

I woke up today, won one game. No promotion. Then I lost two in a row and thought i was screwed. But then I won one more and got promoted. Didn't understand it. | ||

There should have been a period of - say - one week where players could get in and out of GM, after this week the league could have been locked. This way all these lucky players who get the "low" MMR spots would have had a much harder time staying in. | ||

But for example how someone like darkforce can't get into GM, a person who is like one of the best zergs of those that actively play there, and the guy was like the first/second to get over 1k points. Something seems kinda wrong there oO | ||

I don't think good players care about their league. Ladder is decent practice for them, but that should be it. They will care if blizz suddenly announces that blizzcon is for GM's only  or something | ||

Reality check! :D True Beyonder! frustrated people need to stop complaining. I have played alot of 1 vs 1 ladder on EU and always have been between rank 100/300. Most of the players i see in GM so far i know from the ladder and all belong in GM. Remember that spots are still reserved for players with the highest MMR so the best players will appear over time. And crying about ranks? seriously? GM is barely a day old... did Master League rankings reflect the top after one day? | ||

What we could be seeing is that some ratio of cheese to keep your opponent from simply pure macro early game is optimal. Hypothesis The best players will cheese frequently. just to remind you: each player you face as a top 200 player you know and you know his style. 1 strat / race doesnt work on that level anymore. | ||

Reality check! :D Each slot has an mmr value assigned to it. the lower values were snatched up quickly, so even players that may be better than the lower end of the GM league have higher MMR's now, they are still lower than the availiable remaning slots which are probably assigned to extremely high MMR values for pros that have yet to play their placement. Therefore, it isn't a question of if oyu're good enough for most people from 100-200, its just simply they were too late | ||

If you have a top 200 mmr, you eun one game and you're in. If you play your first game late, then someone surpassed you and you're not top 200 in mmr anyways. I don't get why you guys are complaining. Mmr is the best way to measure pure skill. It doesn't reward players for mass gaming. | ||
