If you Fav player / Yourself was good enough i'm sure you would of gotten in. Idra didn't even play his GM match for 2days, played one game and instantly got in, That says a lot about how the GM spots were based off MMR. | ||

Weird thing: I also encountered some master players who were slightly favored over me. So what is with the MMR of that grandmaster guy who were evenly matched against me? | ||

Being favoured has nothing to do with the opponent you are facing in fact. It's kinda ridiculous but true. It's determined by your current rating to your expected rating (MMR), so say if your MMR is much higher than your actual rating you will be favoured etc. This leads to situation where both players that are playing against each other see themselves as favoured on the loading screen, which is even more ridiculous :D One more point for false and misleading systems! | ||

Both White-Ra and Naniwa still missing (unless they are in with a smurf), hopefully their spots are reserved in some way. Anyone noticed any other players who should be in there but aren't yet? | ||

Anyone noticed any other players who should be in there but aren't yet? Yeah that's really weird. Do we have any information about whether or not spots are in fact reserved for well-known players? Because once the GM league is complete, it will be locked for like several months or something, right? | ||

The spots go to the 200 players with the highest MMR and a bonus pool of less than 180. As long as these players aren't overtaken in MMR, the spot will remain for them. However, eventually they'll either have to play a game and qualify for the league officially, or their bonus pool will get too large and they'll be disqualified. | ||

This is correct -- I posted a few pages back speculating that some of the empty spots in NA were allocated to recognizable names who had traveled to Dreamhack. EGIdrA making it in on his return is a pretty good indication that that's why the league has not filled up. | ||

If that's really the case, then he must have royally screwed up his MMR last season before reset. And then Blizzard's hidden MMR must be really inflexible, since he went like 180-40 in the 2 weeks prior to GM league. I just don't see a universe where darkforce's MMR is below top200 (unless he offraced for 1-2 months straight). Same thing with ESC.delphi. He didn't get in either and he finished last season ahead of me in masters (not that it means the world because of how screwed up the ladder was towards the end, but he's another player who is very unlikely to be outside of top200 MMR.). | ||

Also congrats to the 17 year old xsixMkengyn who was top 5 yesterday. Lots of young players stepping it up on the ladder. | ||

Yes, they are both in now, but weren't directly promoted after 1 win (afaik), so their MMR appparently wasn't high enough when the top 200 places were determined, they had to increase it to get into top200. | ||
