I don't think this screw up is as bad as last season since there are some notable names in there but I still dont see a lot of players. Hopefully it wasnt top 200 pts first come first serve again as it was last season, although that system would explain why lots of GM's who would have been GM's woke up early to play their placements and get in. I did the same thing this morning and got in, (was rank 38 GM last season), but it still feels meh considering not all of the "top" players are in.

I agree, there are a lot more players that deserve to be there than last season's fuckup

How exactly did it glitch out you got any supporting evidence/resource?

Yes they are, its all about the MMR not about the stat.

Though a requirement for GM was to be active :l 0-1 shows the opposite of being active

You can never actually create a minimum number of games required to be considered "active", though. By definition if you've played your placement match, the system considers you an active player, and you have a chance to be put in GM. I believe Blizzard said in the creation of the GM League that your bonus pool must stay below 180 (2 weeks inactivity) to still be considered for GM.

To everyone who says it's bugged: Look at Excalibur_Z's league and ladder guide. Your promotion to any league is based on a moving average of your MMR. If you're playing against the top gamers, your MMR is in the range of theirs. As such, you will likely be placed in the same league as them.

0-1 isn't what we should be looking at, we should be looking at the bonus pool accretion of these players who are on the boundary of GM.

It's definitely bugged, there are people who finished last season around 1.1k points. Just wait a day or two for the mass eviction
Also, you need bp of less than 90 not 180 since gm week is only 1 now, not 2

Isn't winning a game when gm released the basic premise of getting promoted?

Exactly, ppl need to stop getting multiple accounts into GMs just for the sake of it. Sooner or later the top 200 MMR GM would become top 100 cos so many ppl have multiple accounts in it.

Respect for not getting your other accounts into GM tyler.

I would say the top 200 MMR on NA is currently inhabited by 50% normal players, 20% double/triple accounts and 30% by koreans.

It's a korean clan.

Incorrect. It's a North American team that has a strong Korean roster.

I would know, I work for them.

Also, blizzard never gave apology for blindly kicking people out of GM with several hundreds of pts lost into the masters division.

Will that happen again? Most likely. But I sure do hope they at least acknowledge their mistake and fix it next season.

Blizzard never managed to give out Arena rewards in WoW properly(without resets and shit) during any of the 8 seasons I played in, so don't get your hopes too high.

It's called a hacker or a bug.
There is no possible scenario for playing 4k games in 24 hours .

1. Yes, you are correct. It's 90, not 180.
2. No, promotion to ANY league, whether it's Silver or Grandmaster, is based on a simple moving average of your MMR. This is why your reference to the shown points of any player is invalid, since league promotion is not based on your visible ladder points, it's based on your hidden MMR.

Edit: I obviously could be wrong, but it doesn't make sense to me that simply looking at a player's 0-1 or 1-0 record and their past season ladder points, both of which do not factor in to league promotion at all, can tell us whether Grandmaster is bugged.

11:53 AM EST 12/27/11, NA GM FULL 200/200!

Verdict: Glitched.

Reasoning: Many people who have <90 bonus pool and were on the top of the ladder last season are not in.
