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?

Yes.

Time to quit 90 games in a row so I start season 3 with bronze mmr and can go back up to high master with a 70-0 win loss record LOL. Oh, is that BM?

awesome im saved , i would have get kicked from gm ,allready got 100 bonus pool and going to wsop

lol yeah i was watching you and getting worried. you got up to like 160 then spammed like 20 games and only got +120 because you were winning +3(+3). hahah wtf how does bliz expect you to play 10 games a day just to drop 30 bonus points. and if you lose a game you're worse off than before xD

but guess its time to start using that bonus pool. thank god its not like last time where i had 900 to spend. think i only got up to like 300 which put me in like 35th spot when i should have been top 8

( this time top 8 should be reasonable :D

I don't know about all of you, but I don't like short seasons. Granted this is only the second season, I just felt that it was too short to get anything accomplished. Season one was just perfect in length, in my opinion. What was that...six months? Half a year. Sounds normal to me. An average sport season is half-3/4 a year anyway.

Not looking forward to the new maps...the ones for season 2 were actually quite bad. Tal'Darim was good but it wasn't even made by Blizzard. Xel'Naga and Metal are the only notable maps that they've made, but it's all from season 1.

Feels like a good season length, maybe just a touch longer (i.e. start the new season in august) would've been more ideal

It'll take you a looong time to have the MMR equivalent of a Bronze player, and it will rise quite quickly if you win lots in a row.

I rather like the short seasons. It refrshes the map pool, and it is nice to see everythign go poof! No losses no wins no nothing! You can just start rigth back up! Also let's hope they put in a new GSL map!

Careful, I know you're probably joking but they said about 1-2 months ago that that behaviour can result in a temp ban, and removal of portraits/reset of achievements.

I think Blizz said that Season 1 was abnormally long just to get things up and running with the new leagues being added and what not. I don't remember where this was said, but all future ladder seasons will be this length.

The maps they're going to be interesting, but its more interesting to see what maps they'll actually remove.

(and hopefully they fix tal'darim's third)
