They also stated that intentionally losing is an offence they will punish, so i have to disagree. | ||

Way to avoid this? Make GM actually an "invite only" league. Why not? Get the top pros, with some room to cycle new up and comers into it, and let em duke it out. But atm ladder has no worth so who cares :D This is a horrible idea. A big problem with the community is that the "invite only" system recycles the same players over and over, while new skilled players who are better than the "invites" have difficulty breaking in. It is like the system MLG used over this last year, where someone can do well at the start of the season, and get invited back again and again. Only this is worse because it is more invisible. In fact, I think the Blizzcon Invitationals were a complete sham. Instead of inviting the Top 8 ladder players from NA/EU ect, they cherry picked who they thought were the best. When we judge who we think is the best subjectively, instead of letting the results speaks for themselves objectively, E-Sports becomes a sham like professional boxing. | ||

The ToS states that they own your account and that they can ban your account for any given reason, I don't know how this holds up in court tho cuz I'm not a lawyer. Then again I doubt anyone would win a case vs Blizzard in a court rofl... | ||

This isn't going to work just for any account, where is the "gaming" of the system in which you talk about? Please elaborate, on the steps that a silver player need take to get into GM? | ||

Make it top 200 based on points similar to the weekly top 200's blizzard posted before GM was open. You can even decide to lock GM Weekly and then re-org at a specifed time when they update the top 200. The system is stupid. A locked league is stupid, its not as if they only play each other. It makes absolutely no sense that they have done this and it is really frustrating that it is based on MMR which you cannot see so you have no idea if you are progressing or where you stand. | ||
