Damn, that came sooner than I expected. 2 months feels too short, IMO. 3 months would be ideal. 400 points to make it into Platinum. I'm not sure I will make it even with a couple of long ladder sessions in the works for the weekend. Still, I may as well give it a go and at least get close. Only problem is the cheese play on ladder tends to spike at this time. Ah well.

The seasons are the perfect length, If you haven't had time to play in 2 months, then will you have time to play in 3? or 4? And can't you play next season anyway? It's not like they're shutting down the game.

I love this new length because it means that I'm much more likely to be consistently playing for 2 seasons in a row, so I can compare my progress and try to play more than last season. This season I've won 196 games and I'm going to be shooting for more than that next season. But If the season were 4 months long I'd be trying to beat a much higher number and I'd probably burn out faster.

Blizzard have said themselves that people play more at the start of a new season, I know that is true for me and if it's true for everyone else then more seasons means more players and more games.

I know this is said a million and one times but they seriously need to put the most common tournament maps in the map pool. Also they need to figure out the GM league placements and quick!

Seasons are a bit short nowadays :/
Interesting to see some official descriptions of the boundaries between the leagues. Just hoping that they actually fix the promotion/demotion system between Master and GM, because at the moment it's so broken and abusable

I think having such short seasons takes away from the beauty of ladder. I'm not a pro player, I'm competitive and I want to get top of my division in gold, but that's virtually impossible with the current season length because I don't have as much time to play as the top in my league. :S I don't know, maybe I'd be open to a 4 month period instead of a 2 month...

Time feels about right for a new season. played about 250-300 games in those 2 months. Hoping for some new maps for some fresh blood.

true but still in my mind it's better that way. I hate to redo placement and such (mostly for team games)

1v1 i guess it doesnt matter much

Yeah, have 4 seasons a year. Makes sense to me. 8 weeks is a really short time imho.

So the person in your league who plays more than you gets to the top, why is that a bad thing?

In a 4 month season, if someone plays a lot in the first 2 months then what's stopping him from playing a lot in the 3rd and 4th months. If you think you can get to the top by playing a lot in the 3rd and 4th months without playing in the 1st and 2nd then you're implying that you, someone who hasn't been able to play much this month is going to be able play twice as much as someone who by your own admission plays a lot. Which is what you would need to do to get to the top off the ladder over a 4 months season.

If you can play more in 4 months than you can in 2, then why don't you just accept your low rank in this season and aim for a great rank next season. It's still the same 4 months period so you should be able to do it no problem.

Imo, If you're life stops you from playing SC2 a lot or stops you from playing a lot some months but not others, you should be happy about their being shorter seasons because it means that every 2 months you get a chance to start off on an even footing with people who played a lot more than you last season.
