Yeah I agree. Seasons need to stay as they are right now. Maybe GM placement should be reduced to 1 month, but I think the new changes are way too fast.

I mean I feel like 3 months is a pretty good time for a season and 1 month for a GM to change.

No shit, 2 weeks were already too long for me to take place @ GM league. I'd be fully satisfied if it would be 3 months season length and 1-2weeks for the spot @ GM :p

As long as the map pool changes with each season i'll be happy. A couple of new maps every two months sounds very appealing. ICCUP ITHICA PLEASE!!!!

This was recently revealed on the Bnet forums and I didn't see any other thread discussing this:

The Season 3 lock will go into effect the week of October 10th. Season 3 will officially end, and Season 4 will begin on the week of October 24th. Season milestone rewards will be locked in at this time, and bonus pools will start over. Hidden skill ratings used for matchmaking and league placement will carry over from the previous season, so players who have completed placement matches in a previous season will only need to play one new placement match after Season 4 starts.


Also interesting to note two new changes to the seasons:
-Seasons will only last two months
-GM league placement will last only a week

What do you all think of this?

Personally, I'm against shorter seasons. As someone who can't afford more than an hour or so of StarCraft per week day, and maybe a few hours per weekend, I feel like I've gotten nothing accomplished. I'm top in my division, but I almost feel cheated that it's ending so soon.

Link to main article: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/3279043205


what does this mean


It means it'll be only a week before gm is implemented, as opposed to the usual 2

At first I wasn't really a fan of shorter seasons but I thought about it and it doesn't really that much. If the season was a month longer, you wouldn't play better or worse

it means no new players have a chance to get GM.


Why does it mean that?

because there is less time to get the needed MMR? doh?

Someone can create a new account and start playing GM-level players in like 30 games. Considering the GM requirement is based on MMR moving average, then buffer in however many games for the moving average interval on top of that (40 total games? 45? 50?). One week is plenty of time for a new player to get into GM.

No one else is wondering, why the season starts 1 day after Blizzcon?
There might be a special reason (HotS Beta incoming *caugh*) for this week

switch taldarim out too please, there's so many GSL maps please don't have the same one only, im guessing they don't want to switch out a map like every season though, well please have 2 GSL maps then :D increase bans to 4?

I wonder if blizzard considered, maybe if there were more GSL maps (more importance to play/learn them), then maybe more people would check out GSL? But I'm guessing the lower level players (as in the casual gamers that don't really care about getting better or care about esports) won't care enough to learn a map but just play for fun.

Yes they do. need a map rotation though, and please lets get some GSL maps and Iccup....Im tired of the god awful blizzard maps. Bring in metal without close spawns....maybe we can have a modified Kulas in there...that map is still a great map even with all the balance problems

Because you dont play enough games to raise your mmr which follows you through seasons and still changes during the lock?? Cos if you are masters level then next season you will play 1 placement and get promoted.

People will use short ladder as an excuse for everything.

I don't understand the point of the ladder lock... shorter seasons are fine but ladder lock makes me not want to play.
For the swarm!
