This is so bullshit... probably should wake up at 7AM next time. Learned my lesson.

Also I didn't get any points for winning -_-


Exactly what happened last season, people that had GM MMR also didn't get points after winning. Just wait until later this week when they kick half the people from GM.

what happened last season? did they kick people and leave the people who were supposed to be in? or did they reset the entire ladder and everyone has to play "placement" again?

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?

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.


Sorry I didn't specify, I mean people who have played atleast 200+ games which depletes bonus pool completely and has a stable mmr (not people who had really high mmr seasons ago, and play <100 games where they get +40 a win and lose few pts a loss to get to 1.1k). I just meant these people who have like low-mid master mmr and got in.

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

They kicked about 120 people on the thursday of the same week and let GM fill up again from 70-80 slots.

Wouldn't the people who got into the glitched GM lose all their points once they get demoted since basically the people with 800 points have now 200 in GM? or do they give them their points

just got gm on 2 accounts

Not on purpose I hope? I could get GM on 3 accounts but I know some people work really hard to try to get into GM... NA being glitched is bad enough without people shoving multiple accounts in!


Thank you Tyler! I am currently high masters and hope to to GM one day. People having multiple accounts in GM makes this a lot harder for the rest of the community who aren't progamers but want to reach the highest level of competition on ladder.

if I remember correctly, i lost about 300 pts from the demotion from GM to masters last season. (for example, if you had 600 pts and you do not make a cut to the real GM you will get sent back to masters with 300 less pts) LOL

They should rework the requirements to get into GM imo , like a certain amount of MMR is required to even qualify for GM or something. The way it is right now is just plain stupid. GM , the way it is right now is pointless , like many pros have said.

its glitched again so I don't see why people give 2 shits about whose in it....it filled up too fast, before I even woke up. A bunch of the people who placed highly in grandmasters last season aren't even in it. For example I don't think I see ostojiy on there and hes always top 10 grandmasters.

If ret is not in GM than its definitly bugged. He was like 70-2 yesterday on his stream.

He also had over 1000 points already!

Regardless if it's bugged or not, I think all this confusion stems from bad system to begin with.

They should just hold an online tournament or something for qualifying for GM seasons.

Yeah it's broken again. Thought blizzard fixed it after last season but apparently its still screwed.

This is so dumb...Also to anyone who willing tries to place multiple accounts in GM, not helping...It's honestly utterly retarded to try and get a smurf into GM when there are only a limited amount of spaces and many people trying for it.

Completely agree with this. Like some said earlier it should be rolling type of thing that is updated weekly or something
