agreed. Makes me feel demotivated to ladder for some reason. I still custom and practice a lot with friends and partners, but the will to ladder is attempting to leave me.

Seasons are too short now. 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 hope Xel'Naga gets removed from the map pool, it's been taking up my veto votes for eternity.

Please, please get rid of Shattered Temple and Xel'Naga Caverns....Taldarim Altar might be due for a change for some other big map too.

Hm can you share where you heard this or got the impression of that? I wonder why terminus. GSL doesn't even use that anymore =/. I think daybreak would make much more sense, plus it's not a 4 player map.


Stuf got mixed up: at the time when they announced that Tal Darim was going to be part of the map pool, I sort of remember - but am not sure - that the community 'knew' that they were going to use a non-blizzard map and, again if I remember correctly, I thought that the rumour was actually Terminus, not Tal Darim.

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

so it says i need 800 pts for a promotion

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.

Are you winning games against opponents that are in the league above you? 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 got promoted from Gold to Plat mid season but still finding the league pretty easy and maintaining a 60% win ratio roughly, is it possible to get promoted twice in one season? 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.

Am I wrong, or is there something that happens if you have fewer than five wins in a season (like MMR reset or something)? 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.

Oh gosh I'm so close to getting to plat! Only ~70 points until I hit 800, not that I'll stop there.
