for everyone whos being retarded on the first page, regardless of MMR people who are 0-1 don't have the bonus pool requirements to get in to GM. so shut up.


Bonus pool restarts with each new season... no? I don't see what you're saying here.


GM league unlocks 1 week after the start of a new season, 1 week = 90 bonus pool, 90 bonus pool or less is required to get into GM league, it takes a win to use up bonus pool. Therefore no 0-1 players should ever be able to get in for that reason alone, but in addition to that, a win is supposed to be required for a promotion.


you also dont spend bonus pool on a win for a placement game... so the 1-0 players should be there either.

As far as I know, SC2ranks is based on points. The GM is based on MMR, so it might not correlate even if you were in the top 51 based on points.

As far as placement matches go, as long as your MMR is high enough, I don't think losing it matters. Even if you didn't make it, then you can still get in, if someone from GM gets demoted and your MMR was high enough to replace him.

Has anyone else reported this issue directly (as in, not via forums or email)? I sent an email but my contacts may be on vacation this week. I know some high level players in this thread have direct contact in-game with David Kim for example. I don't mean to flood the poor guy with reports but the sooner this information gets to someone who's actually in the office who can do something about it, the better.

i tried, but no response so far. Seems like NA is just the guinea pig server for testing and mistakes to be made on this stuff never happened on korea server as far as i know

points mean nothing especially if u r spamming games and just getting a lot of points for beating mediocre people. If you are getting a lot of points beating better players then ur mmr will be higher


also still none of my points are updating reported this no response. I have like 4 more wins then it shows on my ladder and like 100ish more points

That isn't true at all, points converge with MMR in the long run. There are exceptions of course but in general points are a pretty good indicator of your overall standing.

well yea but we arent in the long run atm lol no one's mmr to point ratios are really balanced out yet especially top tier players that arent playing atm cuz they arent getting any wins or points toward their records

cause i think is really unfair if is base on mmr because if is like that then there is really no point for gm week where people (warriors) fight their way to top 200 in ranking. and people with max mmr could just not play for gm week. and just wait for the 1 placement game and get promote it.?. if is like that then is really unfair.

its not really unfair because the others simply arent better

idc if you play more than me @ mid masters, youre still not better than me. top 200 players is supposed to be the top 200, not top 200 active players.

the old top 200 lists (from before gm) were entirely based and ranked on mmr, not points.

not like it really matters for NA and such as there aren't even 200 players that are considered good on our servers.

This isnt true at all.

it WAS based on points.

each division had a point modifier. This whole arguement is stupid. GM isnt based on MMR once you get into it anyway, its based on points, so why the fuck is getting into GM different than the ladder when you get there?

Its a joke.

How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal and you have to be willing to work for it. Jim Valvano

Yes points are just for show. They are designed to make each and every person feel like they are a special player.
