How do you distinguish a "smurf" from someone who's just "on two different accounts?"

1 per 112 minutes, 90 a week.

Weird, you get 112 gas a minute on 1 geyser... Coincidence?

That's not how it works -- the people who have the top 200 MMR moving averages have a spot *reserved* until they either win a little bit and get promoted or until someone surpasses their MMR moving average.

This is why NA still has 11 unfilled spots despite people killing themselves to get in.

seems like atleast in my division all the people i was sure would get top200 are already promoted. bit surprised some that remain but well..



but tbh overall for me its just another fail . a top200 that isnt real top200 and creates more confusion then anything yet again.


i just dont understand what the hell the blizzard ladderguys are thinking. are they just trying to make the ladder as confusing and uncompetive as possible or are they just bad?

So technically you get to grand master league in a single season, and tank your record and still be in grand masters for the rest of the season? That's kinda gay

It's more like there's a clear goal to get to now. It's cooler to be top 200 of the entire NA than 3400 masters (of like 6000 players). I just wished that there were ways to get into GM that didn't involve a GM not playing for two weeks. DERP, log in once every 13 days and go 1-1. or 0-1, as long as they can.

Using a moving average limits how much turnover there would be anyway, because it takes a long time to budge the moving average.

Anyway, I asked this before, but why is this any different from GSL locking in Code S and Code A for a season? I mean, everyone knows that the Code S list isn't perfect, but I don't see nearly as much complaining about it.

all i hear is mimimi from ppl who wanna be in and didnt get into.

the only thing i dont get is darkforce, he was top 10 in europe for the last few weeks with 70%+ wins, has like 20 to 10 w/l since gml is up and simply does not get promoted, while others like me with much less points / ratio / MMR did.

because if you want to take it seriously you gotta measure time in man-hours.

People want to be motivated to improve. They dont want to wait 8 months for a chance to be rewarded(and then be anxious about the fact that you can get darkforced)

Pretty sure that the moving average is over "games," not "time," so I think that's what they're already doing. My comment should have read "lot of games" not "long time."

I agree, but to be fair the seasons are going to be closer to 3 months now, not 8.
You know what unit really has balance problems? Colossi. Why, they look like they could be blown over in a stiff wind!

If you go 0-1 every week you will fall out of GM in 2 weeks.

[edit] And if you go 1-1 you won't stay forever either.

Then you're starting to get into the zone of games where it depends who you're beating.

Pretty much this. Even tho its probably going to be 3 months (no one has confirmed the length of the new season as far as I know?). Its just stupid that people are getting into gm league with under 100 games played total in both season, and being 6-10 in this one.

While people like darkforce was on top of the ladder last season, has 75% winratio, and over 300 games played this season alone, does not get in.

There might be a system behind this somewhere, but since we are left in the dark, its frustrating for everyone who has been working their asses off, and then gets beat by someone who was mediocre last season, and has been sipping martini for the last two weeks.

no prob with top200 league. but how they implemented this and the "lock" already defeats the purpose and makes it more of a top 100.

just like with evrything else in the sc2 ladder the basic idea is ok but how they did it is just bad and super confusing .

You will need to play alot more than 3 games every 13 days... If you you played 5 games cry 14 days and won them all you use around (5*12) 60 bonus. You have to keep ur bonus from rising over time. Without cruncing numbers (im on a phone on a bus) it os obvious that you will to play like at least ten winning games or more a week ( prolly more).
