Having short seasons means you can play less and still progress, since it's easier to keep bonus pool low = faster progression. The argument BluQ or whatever has could be said no matter how long seasons are since it's purely subjective, he doesn't "feel" like 2 months is enough to feel progression, even though progression is identical or even faster with shorter seasons. Yes youre probably right.I hope blizzard dosen't changes his mind about the length of the seasons. | ||

Now if you are in masters already you need aleast 70% loss ratio to get demoted fast  What i try to say , you dont get demotet before 50 games for sure , or you need to lose 40 of 50 games , to get demoted that fast | ||

I am very excited about S7, I used S6 to practice and improve my play so much, learned a lot and improved my game. I just watched a game from S5 and compared it to one from S6, feeling good. | ||

If you fuck around during a lock, you can still lower you MMR which is the main metric in determining whether you get promoted or demoted. Grinding points to get Top 8 of you division has little to no impact on getting promoted. Nothing is based on your league rank, it is all about MMR. MMR is the magic behind the scenes. Read Blizzard's own guidelines to earning a promotion. You don't HAVE to have that number of points. Its a rule of thumb, more or less. Read THIS, educate yourselves, and then stop saying stupid shit like, 'Oh I need to use my bonus pool up before the new season." Or "I hope I don't get placed in Plat, then all I will do is lose." All that matters is your hidden MMR, which carries over season to season. New seasons mean... nothing other than giving new people a chance to get into GM and new maps some seasons. | ||

Bronze since Season 1 ;( I'll have to hope I'm not nervous and win that placement match. bliz released a post saying that if you had 800+ points by the end of a season you would be promoted after the first game of the following season. This applies to bronze-plat then diamond-> master i think is like 980 points. tldr: get to 800 points before the end of the lock and youll move up to silver | ||

Cross TvZ/PvZ is a freaking pain there and TvP usually becomes one base play due to a very wide natural and close air positions. I don't understand why every map has to have an easily taken natural. Every new map basically has a natural with some kind of ramp or choke that makes it almost as easy to defend as your main. It was cool when Shakuras Plateau was unique. | ||

Points are a indicator that you might get a promotion. Read the article by blizz, the link is in my last post, a few posts up. Even in that article, the point necessary value is still stated as 1200, not 800... | ||

Because its a bitch expanding versus allins and cheese on those maps, as any race. Smaller chokes that make expansions easier to secure are just a nice way of giving some defenders advantage, where as on metal there is no defenders advantage, making a lot of the games their 2 base at the most. Being able to get on to 2 base without fearing for your life just makes the game more fun to play. | ||

It's new maps tho, but you don't really need a new season for that. | ||
