Afaik people started with their mmr from S1, so if you had high mmr in S1 (top200 etc), then its easy to get into grand master. Most of the people in EU grandmaster was regulary on the top200 lists last season. | ||

Let's say you where #1 in the top 200 Season1, you play 2 games and your get into GM, then you don't play many more games. Why is that wrong? There might be a discrepancy between MMR and acutal skill that would explain why some of the people known as pros are not in the top 200. Like Artosis, or you Jinro. There might not be ways to mesure how good you are with a simple algorithm. | ||

Their MMRs carried over from Season 1 duder :V They had high MMRs to begin with. We did have a theory that the top and bottom of the MMR span was lopped off, because people at the top of the ladder were losing way more points than they were gaining for each game. Maybe people who boycotted ladder until GM league came out were able to avoid that and preserve their inflated MMR. That's purely a guess on my part though. The more accurate answer is those guys with small records had high MMRs all along. | ||

If the Season 1 ladder MMR is so damn important in the process then why was there a 2 week playing period if you basically didnt need to play? There are are many top 200 players that missed GM this season. At least in NA. Oh well =[ I just hope this doesnt end up like WC3 ladder where an entire pro season was screwed over. | ||

(technically, your bonus pool will not decrease if you dont lose, but ... does it make any sense that some ppl lose 500 games while win 0 in a week and still being grandmast??? ) | ||

Then we can use those threads to discuss the players in it and the matches they played. 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. Doesn't seem like a terrible idea, except that cash prizes on ladder might make maphacks/other hacks more prevalent as people will often do all sorts of things for money. | ||

That's basically what the Blizzcon tournament is. Every year, they take the top X number of people from each region and invite them to play at Blizzcon. Winner usually gets $10,000 +. So that's plenty of incentive to maintain a high ladder rank. | ||

Lol not every GM league player is gonna ladder extensively. I'm probably going to play a few games a week unless there's a time I want to play when no practice partners or teammates want to play - it's too stressful, and I'm only going to play enough to not get knocked out of it  And besides, ladder is useful for only some limited forms of practicing. | ||
