Blizzard will probably let us know when they unlock it.

Remember that the leagues lock is not a "bug", it's intentional. That means that a patch won't automatically unlock anything.

It should be pretty easy to know when the leagues are unlocked -- the open gm spots will start filling up.

well. I noticed less people playing because of this. People only play to get promoted.

like any sports. You play for a championship a goal. Imagine the NFL with no superbowl. Who would watch?

Good point. Ive been laddering, but it really is hard to when Im unsure of exactly where I stand. Its funny though, because in the past couple days EVERYBODY Ive played has been top 8 in their division, so I guess a lot of people are grinding to get that promotion as soon as the leagues are unlocked.

Lots of my friends have stopped laddering because of this, myself included. It's irrational, but that's just how it is. I hope they fix it soon.

how many NFL teams have won the Superbowl without practicing ? You dont get promoted because the ladder you get promoted because you improved.

To measure your skill. But if you are not playing for fun getting better is going to be a long grind.
Logic rules.

I think you have it backwards. If you play for fun and don't care about your ranking, or don't care if you win or lose (trademark of playing for fun), you won't improve.

You can still see the gm leagues via the web. But you'll have to go through someone who is a GM.

So for example, go to sc2ranks and click on someone in GM, and then click through to the bnet profile, then click on their 1v1 league. For example:

Everytime I win a game, it says I'm 100th in my division, even though I'm 1. My bonus pool goes down and when I click my name it's fine, but whenever I play the game it messes up.

He's saying playing the game should be fun first, with the ranking system just an addition. If you are playing to improve, but don't find the game fun, why would you even continue? Unless you think you could make some money off of it, otherwise there doesn't seem to be much purpose to it.

Errbodys wrong,
Ladder points or leagues do not dictate how good you are. Its about who you can beat. Ladder is a training tool if you really wanted to get better you wouldn't care that promotions were paused. And of course you are playing "for" fun. Competitive fun, with blood. Forget the ladder. Try and beat players that are better than you. for fun.
BW pros training sc2 is like kiss making a dub step album.
