Does this mean a new balance patch will come at July 19th?

Iirc, all previous season switches have been accompanied by a balance patch. Correct?

What, no? You have totally misunderstood everything.

Bonus pool will not be cleared, it will just stop growing.

And games WILL add/subtract points.

The only change is that leagues will be locked, and bonus pool will no longer grow.

Did you just make this up?

Totally wrong in every way possible.... Why do people just talk what ever pops into their head on forums.

Bonus pool will no longer grown (you can't get more of it)
You will gain / lose points for ladder wins / losses (no change)
Your MMR will still change (no change)
You are unable to get promoted / demoted leagues for two weeks. (This promotion/demotion will happen when you play your qualifier for season 3 should you require moving)

Hope this cleared things up.

Yeah, if you win majority of your games on lock and up your MMR enough, you will be promoted on S3 placement match.

Wow this season was sooo short I hope they demote the players that did not play this season and allow the players that did play and did well in their leagues to be promoted into higher ones.
if your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest.

No one is getting demoted for being inactive.

All of them? As in all of ONE season switch? :p Lol I think that one case was coincidental, I'm sure they would have released patch notes if they planned to make a patch for the new season..

I don't know if this has been posted already. can't find it anywhere at least. How does this affect the GM leagues? will they be completely redone or will they basically stay the same.
Things are laid back in Unidenland. And may the road ahead be lid with dreams and tomorrows. Which are lid with dreams. Also.

Completely redone, so people who dropped out due to inactivity (i.e. Idra) will be back in due to the sheer size of their MMR.

Might as well take this as an opportunity to get back into SC2 ladder since I fell so behind.

Only thing thats really a mental block for me is that I feel like my control group setup is bad. I do fine with it and could easily make masters with it, but I feel in the long run it'll eventually slow me down, and the fact it takes so long to relearn control groups I'm hesitant to switch. (ex. 1-cc, 2-main army, 3-production, 4+ other army/units).

Can anyone suggest an optimal control group setup for Terran?

I was thinking 1,2,3 army, 4 cc, 5 production, 6+ anything. Also, why bind rax / fact / starport separately?

What happens if you aren't in a league and the ladder is locked?
