Does that mean GM players can't be demoted either? If so then the first people to make GM would stay GM all season.


Thats pretty much the case anyway.. You can play like 8-10 games a week and never be demoted..

Maybe it is because I'm in Masters, but I couldn't give less of a shit.
Even when I dropped leagues because of inactivity, I came back after couple hours of playing.
I find it funny to see people worry about MMR and bitch about getting cheesed.
Worrying about ladder points is such a bad attitude towards improvement. It is very foreigner of you.

I don't care that much, I'm master masters anyway.
But for beginners, it is better and not that demoralizing.

Not every people player plays for improvement, which is still a correct attitude.

Perspective from the top down is entirely different. Also the phrase, "...very foreigner of you." is very foreigner of you to use. If you'll allow me the use of your own implication.

It might be just me but I feel that this game is made to be competetive in it. I wouldnt ever play it for fun .. its not fun; you have to learn so much focus so much and execute everything properly and all this so you can just play it .. its really more a competiton than a game and its made to be that way.

I don't see why people make such a big fuss out of it. Leagues mean nothing, MMR decides who you play against and is therefore a measure of how well you're doing. As long as I get properly tuned opponents as my skill level goes up (or down), it doesn't matter what colour the shiny border around my portrait is.

People care about their league and not about MMR, because leagues are visible and MMR is not.

I wanted GM players to be demoted within the season if they suck.

Haha good one boss.
It is hard to find offense to that when I speak, read, and write Korean. Born in Korea and have Korean heritage.

It is hard to say that EU/NA has the correct attitude towards improvement when Koreans have won all 3 regions of WCS, but what do I know.
Keep crying about imbalance, aggressive strategies, and Blizzard not doing enough to help you. It'll get you very far.

The question is why do people care about their league? Bragging rights? Does it enhance their feeling of self-worth to have a shinier icon?

Personally, I just want opponents that are comparable in skill to me, so I can have a fun and challenging game.

I am not crying about any of that stuff, and am Masters myself. What are you talking about?

That is just a silly claim you know, sure, WCS NA got completely stomped by the koreans but you can't in anyway discredit the fight the EU players put up, in the top 5 theres 3 EU and 2 koreans and it wasn't far off for a player like Lucifron to take down forGG who has a sick TvT record in HotS, so I think that are full of crap good sir, the europeans did just fine.

Basically, it just means you are allowed a higher rank than you deserve for some longer. Why the hassle? If i suck at playing and lose often, i know it, and it doesnt matter to me if my league goes from dia to plat for the times i suck. On the other hand, i can go on a sick winning streak, get promoted to masters and not drop out of it altough i am not really masters material. Kinda crappy league logic imho...
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

You're only Masters yourself or as the SC2 improve lot say, "top of the scrubs".

You've got no right to belittle anyone else for their attitude or lack thereof.

People should really read the ladder explanation thread before posting.....

MMR used to get into masters is determined by top 2% of MMR scores of active players. This means players with a small amount of bonus pool. This means 1) people not getting demoted has zero effect on people getting promoted into masters league, and 2) masters is already more then top 2% of players becuase there is a large amount of players in masters league (or any other league) that arnt considered active, and thus not used in the MMR range calculation....
