according to how they did the GM league last season, they allowed the masters players 2 weeks to get placed into the rankings first then it will reveal who the GM people are for the rest of the season. i assume it will be something like that this coming season as well

Well if they lock the ladder 2 weeks i do think it's to let time to people attempting to get into the new gm league. Remember last season lock was only 1 week long because gm league wasnt ready to get implemented at this time.

I hope they change their mind about the new maps and get some really good ones in instead.

EU information about this:
What does this mean for you? During the Season 2 lock, you can no longer be promoted or demoted out of your current league or division, and your bonus pool will stop growing. Once locked to a league and division, you’ll still be able to play out your remaining bonus pool and compete for standing within your division until the end of the season, so it’s a great time to enjoy yourself and maybe even push for a better milestone. If you’re looking to move to a different league, though, there’s no time like the present! The Season 2 lock will go into effect in approximately 1 week on Wednesday, 6 July.
The Season 2 lock also means that Season 3 is right around the corner. During morning maintenance on Wednesday, 20 July, Season 2 will end and Season 3 will begin. Season milestone rewards will be locked in at this time, and bonus pools will start over.

Note that in EU it is 6 July and 20 July.

New season means time for someone who sucks like me to sit on my desk for 3-4 nights in a row to try to rank up for the start of next season :D

I do, but not for the terrible rush map they showed.

Am i the only one who thinks the Ladder should change in the way GM works? Base it on points so people can be removed not just because of inactivity but also bad streaks of loses?
Im happy about the ladder reset though, should be interesting to see who can make their way back into GM!

Would be awesome to have some commentators introduce you as an "Poker/StarCraft 2 professional".
Are you taking a break from StarCraft2 during this time before WSOP and after? We sure would like to see you at Anaheim .

Oh cool that's exactly during my Winter break that I was planning on getting promoted to masters. If my MMR goes up that high do I get promoted as soon as the new season starts and I play my placement match?

i like how the seasons come and go quickly enough. now i can get into GM!!!!!!!!
