Of course that would mean acknowledging that bonus pool doesn't actually mean anything, so I guess that's that for my idea. Bonus pool does mean something. So yes your idea doesn't really make sense. | ||

Hopefully they add some more maps next season, laddering is really getting stale for me. lol the map pool this season has been awesome. They brought back metal, got rid of some of those kind of bad ones, and less maps means a lot more practice on each map. Id like to see a couple GSL maps brought over like Terminus or Bel'Shir Beach, but come on. | ||

Season 3: 3 months Season 4: 2 months Hmm. I hope they don't get any shorter. It would be nice if they added some good new maps, moving the ladder closer to the maps used in tournaments. | ||

I play more because when I watch pros play it makes me want to play more than ever. The skillcap is the highest it's ever been and it's only going up -- for a while (first 6 months of sc2, if not 7 or 8 months) SC2 had a fairly low skillcap and was a lot dumb strats. Now it's evolved past all-ins being everything, and there's a lot of skill, macro, micro, strategy, decisions, speed/etc. to be good at. it's awesomely fun and I have like 180 1v1s played this season. I had like 15 played last season -- the map pool is also where I can actually PLAY the game. I can SEARCH a game knowing it won't be a 33% chance of free loss if we get close spawn zvt LT/metalop. | ||

but i hope the Grandmaster issues will be solved next season. What issues? People who are the best at ladder should be there. If you only play customs you should not expect to be there. Now, remember that being the best in the ladder does not mean to be the best in the game/region. | ||

No...that's not the problem, the problem is that it let anyone even close to that level into GM as soon as the lock on GM was lifted, so better ladder players that didn't play at 00:01 were shafted. The people who are best at ladder weren't there, and that's what the problem was. | ||

I heard it happened to one of Tyler's accounts, and some other people. In addition, I believe it just happened to me and a friends' 2v2 team. We were in masters league a couple of seasons ago, but didn't play any last season. This season we had to play all five placement matches again, and we certainly didn't play any masters level 2v2 teams. Does anyone know anything about that? So far all I've seen about the MMR reset for the 1v1 ladder i anecdotal. It's true, a friend of mine stop playing starcraft a few months ago and came back at the beginning of november with 5 placements matches and was ranked 80th in a silver division (he was platine before). He didn't play at all (not even one game) last season. Btw, i hope they'll show some creativity and change de map pool this time, i was very disappointed last season :'( I'm still pondering how removing close spawns, adding metalopolis and removing searing crater was a disappointment...? | ||
