its compeltely normal that the first 200 top 400 MMR players that try to get GM get promoted and others that w8 too long might not.

its like that from the first gm season on, dno why we need that thread every season.

What happened this season isn't close to being normal, last season there were still 100+ spots open by like 3PM EST and it was during the summer. GM usually fills up the following day or a few days after it comes out, not 4 hours after it comes out.

Yah, makes sense that people who have jobs/school don't get a chance. They waited too long (8 hours lol) so they are obviously bad players who don't deserve GM.

GM is a joke this season. They should at least open it up in the evening when most of the good players play. Alot of players are busy during the day with school/work. All the scubs who play in the morning for easier wins made it. example- Desrow and Deezer and hackers like JasonX. At least the hacker oGsNada poser and SGTofLuck arent in =]

Who is this JasonX guy? How does he have such a good record?

u can check the replay i posted on TL hacker database recently and judge


Or just scroll down a bit more and see JasonX's reply, making you seem like an idiot

Yeah, I noticed people who are on there with 0 wins and 1 loss... Also, normal people like idra and destiny aren't on there... Something's wrong.

I think EU comes out tomorrow.

Hope they don't make the same mistakes there.... It pretty much invalidates the point of having a GM league which should be the top 200 players in a region not November 1st AM warriors.

To all the people BMing desRow and other people who in your opinion "aren't good enough", think about the hours those people have put into ladder and the work they have done. They worked extremely hard to get something, so I really am going to say tough luck to your favourite people. They will anyway all play each other.

Idra may play lots of customs, and he is well aware that playing customs won't help him get into GM. Not exactly like he should care about GM either, he does well anyways.

Then just make 500 slots in GM or make it easier to drop out.

This what I'm most worried about:

Guy plays game
Guy realizes he got into GM
Guy realizes that he's now probably better than 90% of players out there in NA
Guy realizes he can now be cocky as shit and when ppl call him out for it he'll be like "I'm GM bitch, what are you?"
Guy starts giving advice to ppl when he shouldn't
Guy realizes his advice is shit but he doesn't care because ppl take it anyway because "he's GM"
Guy ruins SC2
Guy still remains anonymous
Guy is still GM

sigh.... fuck that guy

why do they even have an MMR cap (if they do). Would it be because of those forever bronzes who has negative MMRs? Did they make an MMR floor, so then they had to make an MMR ceiling? If so thats kind of dumb, MMR ceiling makes no sense, and makes ladder even worse of a form of practice. Why would someone like say, Idra, want to ladder on NA when all the people he's facing (who would have the same MMR, the max) wouldn't even be close to his skill level?

apparently, they made a ceiling because top top players could not find ladder games after long times of queues because their mmr was very high

If you want to see how the GM process should be working (and has worked), take a look at how china is currently:

http://www.battlenet.com.cn/sc2/zh/ladder/grandmaster

All active players. Those with low amounts of games this season, look at their past season, see they were GM last season and extremely active.

Something screwed up on NA.

We'll need the following footnote:

People who think it accepts just anyone are sadly wrong.
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/446161/1/Sasquatch/ladder/
and
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/1330744/1/AGIANTSMURF/ladder/77207#current-rank
didnt get in even tho they played during that half an hour and sasquatch even was GM last season.
So it's more broken then it is easy.
