It is so silly to have any maps where Protoss is pretty much forced to go 2 base all in on, imo. Huh? The reason Protoss 2 base allin on that map is because it tends to work really well. | ||

Both third bases also tend to be on the difficult side to hold PvZ, so there is basically both carrot and stick driving the PvZ allin-fest on that map. I'm personally happy to see the map go too. | ||

They're literally just flicking through a dictionary and stopping their finger on a random page).

It's unbelievably bad that people in, say masters, that play at a low diamond level will stay there and hog spots. The people who are in Diam who are WAY better can't be put higher, or at least it's going to be way harder then it should be. Not being able to get demoted is probably the worst thing for the skill curve that Blizzard has ever done, (to my knowledge of SC2 which spans back to February of 2012). God I hope they take that shit out. Aside from serving your ego and giving you that metalic aqua boarder around your name what difference does it make? MMR system hasn't changed, you're still getting matched against people who are of similar skill level. | ||

Meanwhile like 30% on akilon and belshir vestige. fml I'm a protoss and also have 74% winrate on star station. I will also miss it a lot. Can't play at the start of the season due to vacation in florida but I will play many games these days. | ||

What happens when a league has more % players than would normally be allocated to it? Does it continue to promote players into that league who exceed the necessary MMR threshold? | ||
