Obviously this player ''http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/827507/1/Maryland/ladder/grandmaster'' doesn't belong in GM but still you are wrong. With the exception of a few GM in EU is pretty accurate and all EU top players are in it. Stop crying about the system just because you didn't get in. | ||

GM league is active for less than one week and it already has flaws. What can we expect in 2 months? Maryland is not the only flaw, it's just the most obvious flaw. | ||

GM offset is 0, just like master league. Edit: Whoops, -150, not 0. Regardless it uses the same system as master league. | ||

GM offset is something around 430 (from master), but we don't have the exact number yet. That means that 0 points in GM is +/- 430 points in Masters. | ||

Hrm, not sure where I got that from, I swear it was from a blue post. Apologies for spreading false information then. I'll go and have a look and check I'm not crazy. | ||

Obviously you then have to account for bonus pool and the 73 points gained in promotion, but with enough players I think this could provide a solid estimate of the point offset. Are there any issues I'm not seeing? Has someone already done this? | ||

You misunderstand me; there are two empty spots in the Korean GM league - I dont get why they are still empty with 100% of the server playing nonstop. And for those saying GM is useless, Im pretty damn sure its gonna be used for Blizzcon qualifiers, because thats how they used the pro-ladder in WC3, and how they used the regular ladder in Korea for last Blizzcon --; | ||

There are some good player (like EGDeMusliM) that are not in GM. And there will be newcomers that wont be in either. Other good players will fall out of it because their bonus pool will get too high. Its just a very arbitrary thing. | ||

It can be hard to spot such accounts since they can be smurfs with low visible rating (due to having just a few games) but extra-high MMR. Though I'm not certain if it's actually fact or just a guess that the high MMR blockers lose their GM "reservation" at 180 bonus pool like the people already in drop out at that point. Would make sense though. | ||

Also gonna be a bit unfair for some of the pros who get unlucky and don't place and Blizzard uses this stuff for Blizzcon ><. Edit - Did Artosis ever get in on NA? He was bitching hard on SOTG, he was like rank 80 points wise and wasn't getting into GM lol.... | ||

Have 180 bonus points been awarded since the GM league was established? If so, then I'm confused too. I think it's been a bit shy of that though. Until 180 bonus points are handed out, nobody's going to lose their spot (if I understand things correctly.) | ||

Until 180 bonus points are handed out, nobody's going to lose their spot (if I understand things correctly.) My understanding differs from yours. To be eligible for GM you must have less than 90 remaining bonus pool. To drop out you must have more than 180 remaining bonus pool. The difference is 90 points, ie exactly one week. This means that someone who barely got in GM with 90 bonus at the start would drop out one week later if he doesn't play at all. However, we don't know if the 180 point limit applies to reserved spots. If it does, you will lose it after a week. If it doesn't, you will lose it immediately when your remaining bonus goes over 90. The only reason I can see for the two empty spots is that those who have them reserved haven't won any games yet. Otherwise pieces of the puzzle are missing or my understanding is wrong. | ||

Erm, not sure how you intend to "merge" those leagues when transfering people from master into grandmaster is the same as with diamond -> master. People who get into grandmaster get some amount of points. If you take a look at sc2ranks you can see that some people had their points reduced from 1100 to 320, while some other people had their points increased from 60 to 220 etc. basically everyone got about 330 points depending on their bonus pool I guess. | ||
