I don't think it's locked and Blizzard never made a post on Battle net forums about it not sure why it's not locked yet. | ||

I think if it was misinformation then blizzard would have posted about it already. Or maybe they don't know about it? Please someone post this on the battle.net forums so they'll give us information. | ||

Forgot!" ... but who knows. With people being promoted apparently and people reporting bonus pool accumulating (I haven't been able to log on since before the weekend so I'm not sure) it makes me think it is not locked right now, even though it should be? I guess? | ||

Also, since it's not locked and since I've been winning 60-75% of my matches I hope to get promoted from Bronze league soon, otherwise I'm gonna rage  | ||

I think the point is to provide stability to the division rankings, so that you can be sure of improving your division ranking without players appearing on top of you out of nowhere. But it's legitimate to wonder if that matters  | ||

Can you please post it here when you are sure that the league is final locked? Can it be that you still get bonus but you cant use it? is there someone with 0 bonus in masters at the moment? Please mods, let this thread this time open! Its important when the league is locked for me, not when blizzard announce that its locked!

Very very unlikely but possible! | ||

If so, it's a change from past practice which had lock week in the last week of the season. Damn, I have not played in a few days but had used up my SEA bonus pool, with only my NA account pool left to use. | ||

OT: I've played two platinum players in the past few days, and I'm mid-high masters. I assume they are new accounts or something and can't rank up because of a possible lock? | ||

He is on NA, but I was just responding to one of the several people who assumed that the ladder had already been locked for over a week because they hadn't been promoted. That's good to know though  | ||

The question is like Skeldark stated: Can you use the bonus points you have gained after 25th? E.g. If you had used all your bonus points at 25th, have you been awarded bonus points when winning according to the match result screen after 25th (and do the points shown in the match history match the score screen points if bonus points were awarded)? Or is it just a display bug that Blizzard often has when seasons are locked. Before this season Blizzard always locked ladder during weekly maintenances (exception: end of May & beginning of June 2011 when they had ladder locked several weeks due to some GM promotion bug. It was a mid season lock that they only admitted after some weeks when the community noticed). Locking the ladder on a weekend seems little odd timing. One Bnet interface improvement that I would like to see is that it would show a big text "Ladder is locked" on top of the ladder lists when ladder is locked. | ||

Blue post about a minute ago "The 2012 Season 3 ladder has been locked since August 25, and 2012 Season 4 will begin on September 1. More information surrounding the season transition and map pool details will be released in an upcoming blog, so stay tuned for more info!"

Completely contradictory to the blue post in the thread I linked. Nice! | ||

" Cloaken Community Manager Greetings, everyone. We wanted to inform you that Season 3 of 2012 will lock this coming Tuesday, September 4, 2012. We are aware that this date is different from the one previously projected and displayed in the StarCraft II client and for that we apologize. The original expectation was for the season lock to occur on August 25, however the new tools implemented in patch 1.5.0 for handling upcoming season rolls did not function as we had anticipated. That being said, this season will now officially lock on September 4 and come to a conclusion on September 11 with the start of Season 4. Thanks for your patience. If you’re on the cusp of reaching your goals for this season, we encourage you to get after it! You still have a few more days to make a final push."

Link: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/6412104901 Sweet. I noticed on Eu it magically changed from locking on 25th aug to sept 5th (season ending sept 13th) and was hunting for the official word. Looks like there is just enough time to get that double promotion after all. Thanks for the update <3 | ||

Webserver and Bnet was out of sync for some days. Looks like different teams had different days for the lock and did not communicate with each other. Data of the last days of my tool: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=334561 can be wrong. Dont know yet if all server are affected. | ||

I think it's possible to play vs any league even if it's locked, It's just impossible to get promoted/demoted. Sometimes it messes up and you play vs opponents that are way better, remember those GM/master vs bronze screenshots on reddit 2 weeks ago? | ||

The started the lock at parts of the system but not on others. After they notice they postponed. Or they postponed and forgot to cancel it at all places. NA is fixed. EU is still in the 50/50 mode. | ||
