I don't know that we can say for absolutely certain that that's the case. It may be that not every grandmaster-qualified player was evaluated for promotion after each and every game, in which case their MMR may have been high enough but it may simply have required more than one game to get promoted. This could be that the implementation of the league is a bit more complex than the general rules Excalibur_Z posted at the start of the thread, or there could be operational issues like applying server-side hotfixes that might delay a promotion. I don't know that we can entirely rule possibilities like that out, though I have no particular reason to believe any one of these is the case. | ||

Yeah it doesn't sound like it should be that complicated. The way I understand it, it's like "current min moving average requirement: 2500" (whatever the #200's reserved value is) then somebody gets above that and gets in, then the new minimum requirement becomes 2550 (#199's reserved value) or something like that. The players who are way above the minimum should theoretically be getting in after their very first win, because even if they were to lose a game or two beforehand their moving average wouldn't fall far enough to drop below the minimum requirement. | ||

I also hope that Blizzard awards the nr1 spot in the GM league with a cash prize. Something around 3K$, 2nd 1.5K$ and 3th 500$. Which is not bad for a 3 month salary, if you are also competing in other tournaments. It gives some extra prestige to the ladder and the league. | ||

Will there still be a weekly Top 200 released by Blizzard, since you will only drop out of GM if your bonus pool accumulates too much points and the actual top 200 MMR wise could be different afaik? I wouldn't expect to see anymore Top 200 lists. The whole point of the weekly Top 200 blog posts was they were a stand-in because people couldn't see at a glance who the 200 best players were within the game. Now with Grandmaster you can do that. | ||

The only thing people should take away from Grandmaster's is that it'll be the Top 200 players playing under Blizzard's system. Nothing more and nothing less. | ||
