It looks like the in-game display when you queue for a match correctly freezes your bonus pool amount, but it's actually still accruing. So even if it shows 0 bonus pool, play games anyway because you may still have bonus pool that's accumulated and continues to accumulate since the lock! I'll bring this up with Blizzard today in case they're not aware. | ||

I have been accumulating a bonus pool as well today. Not sure why exactly, but I plan on keeping an eye on it throughout the day. | ||

A week or so ago, I picked up sc2, beat a high gold, beat 3 high plats in a row, and then it faced me against only gold league, where I started losing for absurd reasons (ex. My account got hacked during a ZvZ on scrap) and now I'm scared to ladder because of drop hacks. So now i'm going to be gold next season  On a happier note, yesterday/two days ago I won 7 2v2 games in a row with a silver league partner. We were facing and beating plats, and we were like "Dangit, promote us!" and then I remembered the ladder was locked  Edit: 300th post ;D | ||

Drop hacks are exceptionally rare in gold league -- I've played maybe a hundred games since the drop hack problem cropped up recently and have not once been drop hacked. | ||

It doesn't matter if u win or lose you should just be focusing on improving. There's like little to no drop hackers in lower leagues like out of 10 it would be 0.3. If u were masters wear drop hacking would be relevant than yeah sure u can stop laddering but you're gold, don't worry about it | ||

I must be out of the loop, I didn't even know that the drop hack was so widely in use... I'm in masters and have not dropped yet, hope Blizzard handles it before season 3 starts. | ||

You have a loooong way to go -- play customs, play ladder, watch and analyze replays, watch streams. Your record is literally useless at this point. Good luck dude. | ||

We’re aware of an issue where bonus pool points were still being assigned to players despite the season lock being in place. This has caused some players to be removed from the Grandmaster League due to the requirement to keep their bonus pool under a certain amount. We’ve already addressed the issue and stopped any additional bonus points from being distributed, and are now working on a process to place Grandmaster players back into the Grandmaster League. We’ll provide more information as soon as it’s available. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2795070098 | ||

As Excaliber said in another post all the inactive players get "removed" in a since so someone has to fill those spots. those spots will be filled with higher caliber players Nop, it's not easier. When the league resets is looks like it was easier, but if you were promoted in the placement match, you'd be promoted anyways during the two week ladder block. ahhh i wish i could find that post EDIT: Never mind. found the post and misunderstood it | ||
