Awesome!
Is this for the next season? That means the next month?^^

What about the interface of the profile? I heard somewhere that they could show the "Best rank of the season" instead of the current rank"? I feel that could be very encouraging too for many people who fear the ladder to have the 3 ranks shown : Current, Best of the season, Best of the carreer.

I'm really exciting about that changes^^ I can't wait.

Great changes ! I'll be coming back to sc2 ! Love the tiers and overall transparency, seeing how close/far you are from promotion. Can't wait !!

This gm change is nice. It doesn't affect me because I'm not gm, but I've seen a few boosted gm players so far. It'll probably stop this practice now. Someone will still be crazy to pay but they'll be demoted quickly.

This is really good! Will this also come with separate MMR for the races?

Pretty hyped for this. But yeah as Sholip already said, seperate MMR would be probably the biggest enjoyment factor for me.

Really happy about this change. I've been masters for a long while now and I'm never motivated to fully play my bonus pool as getting the next promotion is quite a bit harder. This revamp will motivate me to reach the highest tier and GM won't be as much about just being active on the 8th day, but a real achievement.

There's plenty of people in EU GM who just let their friends play to keep them there with proper mmr and winrate. This won't change that unfortunately.

Interesting update for sure. I just hope that Ladder Revamp gonna fix stupid things like (bronze, gold, gold, Top Master) match making in 2v2 because it is extremely annoying and it happens way too much since 3.0 update.

Split.

David Kim is so cute. Also, great changes. I wonder what happened to seperate race mmr though.

Here you go (feel free to steal, OP):

- MMR is visible at bottom of ladders screen

- On the match-victory screen
-> Progress bar for promotion (without numbers, not sure how useful it will be)
-> You can see your opponents' gain / loss and your gain / loss as well as final MMR

- Awesome promotion visuals (the league icon does a transformers-type animation)

- Leagues are split up into 3 tiers (except for GM) (numbered 1-3, 3 is bottom of league, 1 is top of league)
-> Wherever league icons appear, the number appears on the base of the icon

- League and tier information is highest-rank achieved for current-season

- GM updated daily basis (promotions and demotions)

- Some other ui visualization improvements (animations of league icons, borders for leagues more distinct)
