Anyone who finds this surprising obviously didn't play WoW during the earlier arena seasons

When I saw they were changing the ladder length, the first thing I thought was "they are going to fuck up GM for sure".

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


The GM debacle this season only means that amazing players are losing GM spots to slightly less amazing players. Fact is that you don't get to Masters by being bad. You might be bad compared to the pro's and other Master level players but you are still better than 80% of the ladder.

That or you're a cheater and a stream sniper.

If someone made it into GM that means they were Masters. I'd still take advice from a Master level player.

Well..... I mean, yeah. Of course they didn't just "get in" to GM. Surely they played a lot to get there. All I'm saying is, I just don't want someone getting a cocky attitude because they're in GM. And I don't want someone shoving it in other's people's face just cause their GM.

GM is a privilege that shouldn't be abused, that's all I'm saying

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.


Do you think that a 52% gm/50% masters player should have made GM in a non-broken system? They probably simply had lower mmr's than all the current people in GM.

Just an idea
Blizzard should at least implicate a system where you have to play a minimum number of games at reset before even getting considered back into GM. Same for players trying to get in.
At that point it would force those 0-1 players to have the chance to tank their rating and give opportunity to others.

At that point I'm totally fine for example desrow having two accounts. If he's worked his ass off on two accounts and grinded it out at reset, then more power to him.

That should help the whole first 200 with a near enough MMR to get in, that played.

Reseting MMR or opening 500 slots is obnoxious.

the system isn't designed to account for the amount of ladder games being played. It's designed to base it off of mmr. So because somebody else has more wins than idra doesn't mean that the system believes they're a better player. The whole purpose of mmr is to avoid basing skill off of total wins.

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?


He's in my clan, RH. I'm not sure where the hacking accusations are coming from - I've never heard anyone insinuate that before.

People who will be cocky jerks in GMs would have been cocky jerks in Masters. Heck, I've seen Gold league players smack talking silver leaguers because they are "rank 1 gold". What actual rank somebody is has no effect on whether or not they are cocky.

Rofl you say that cause you got promoted? Anyway that theory doesn't stand. 200 people were promoted because they played this morning/early afternoon. Normally it takes like 2-3 days to fill up GM (past seasons) because system had locked up places for some players (i think)

It's just a little symbol by your name.

It doesn't mean anything.

That guy complaining that his team of 9 gms now only has 1 gm is missing the point. Your players aren't any worse than they were yesterday.

weird it didn't reserve me a spot... I think it did last season so hopefully this will get fixed, seems like it just took the first people with a high-masters MMR and gave it to them...

Meh, the entire concept is flawed because it's not fluid. I personally don't think there should even be a separate GrandMaster league. They should just remain in their respective master leagues and have some type of flag set when they're in the Top 200 MMR with some penalty for bonus pool accumulation. There should be a separate view like there is now where you can list them relative to each other so noobs can drool, but it shouldn't be an entirely different league, imo. Could easily make them stand out in their current league as well. The logistics are too troublesome and it becomes far too stagnant.

They've earned the cocky attitude though. I know it sucks when players are d-bags but if they're good players, they get to be d-bags.

They do run the risk of pissing off an even better player though which is why I suppose they might not want to talk too much smack. GM doesn't mean a whole lot when a pro is calling you bad.

But if a GM wants to talk smack about my platinum league, they've kinda earned the right to do it. The most I can do is walk away and come back later. Or get better than them so I can smack them myself when they get mouthy.

It seems like ALOT of weak master players that i don't really think are at that level yet got promoted.

Edit: consistently top 1

well honestly, im still hoping that they do something to fix this now. If they do try to reset it, then they should do it in like two days or something, or on the weekend, so that those who are actually skilled have enough time to ladder.
