I've barely made a dent in my bonus pool, and the "lock" isn't going to motivate me to do anything about it. i think that just means you dont play enough. i don't play that much but i'm still 0 bonus pool after playing a few games a day. | ||

I am not talking about now. It would be very weird if they used the crap map Terminus. oh ok, thanks for clarifying :D i agree it would be weird to use that now | ||

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/3947374/Climbing_the_Ladder_How_to_Earn_a_League_Promotion-11_15_2011 does that mean i just have to get 800 pts then bam promotion or what? Everyone always says just win a lot and you'll get promoted but this says 800 pts from whatever to whatever. I'm kind of lost the 1v1 menu only shows my last 19 games which im 11 - 8 so far - should i be heading to a promotion soon? | ||

A lot of people don't realize that MMR is capped and that there's really a top 500 rather than 200 people who are at the cap. When GM opens, whoever is the first to play in that pool gets GM, even if they're 499/500 rather than 5/500. To the system, they're both capped at MMR. | ||

If not, then you are not getting promoted. Simple as that really. You can go 15-5 in the last month. If those 5 games you lost were all to players ranked higher than you, then you stay in your current league. | ||

I only have 4 wins right now, too many customs :< I'm pretty sure it's if you don't place for a season your MMR resets. So if you've placed in any league, you're fine. | ||

If the season was longer then your bonus pool would continue to grow. So it would be even harder to put a dent into your bonus pool. Honestly bonus pool is just not a good argument for shorter seasons decreasing ladder motivation. Unless of course they change how bonus pool works. | ||

I really don’t play that much at the moment (have played about 5 games in the last 2 weeks) but tomorrow is my last day at work so I reckon I could easily reach the rough target of 800 points before ladder lock (currently on 550ish, 250+ points in 4 days will be tricky, but doable). Seasons feel so short now, I remember Season 1 seemed to go on forever. Is possible | ||
