Gonna update this as I find out more.
- MMR is not wiped when the season resets the ladders. - different league ratings don't affect each other except during placement matches.
UPDATE:
- League icons will denote how high you are. High diamond gets fancier icon than low diamond. - Season 2 date not announced yet, ladder will be wiped, but can see history. - One placement match only - Master League (top 1-2% of region goes in it) - Top 200 players go in Grand Master League. (crowd cheering) - Featured replays (jan/feb timeframe), new tab that can show replays from tournaments like GSL
UPDATE 2: Balance team coming out
- Dustin Browder talking about pro players being crazy good and dedicated. Not sure where this is going. - Giving quotes from pro players, now pimping Day9 Daily
UPDATE 3: David Kim is teaching nubs how to cannon rush. Enjoy your ladder games, gentlemen.
UPDATE 4: Q&A
Question: Will we ever see MMR? Answer: Blah blah no. Followup: Is it per race? Answer: No, but we've heard feedback, we want to fix this in the future but nothing solid.
Question: Are there gonna be chat channels? Answer: Chat channels nov/dec, public and private channels. The coding is done, now being tested internally.
Question: Idiotic question about some random bug. Answer: Politely referring idiot to the service forum.
Question: Will reapers be made to not suck and be viable in mid-game armies? Answer: We're balancing for top players, Terran was OP early game, we had to nerf. Reapers being looked at but we're watching and waiting.
Question: Are we gonna get more stats (WC3 stats) on the Bnet web profile? Answer: Yes, we're working on it, nothing specific. Have huge plans for web integration.
Skipped random "how do I play" question Skipped another one of those.
Question: How do I tank drop better? Answer: David Kim: Drop tanks at the natural in LT! All Zerg players: FFFFUUUUUUUUUU
UPDATE 5: It's over.
UPDATE 6: Missed one question:
Question: Will you be able to watch replays with friends on B.net Answer: Yes, next year.
(thanks to Ketara)

Looks like, seems like it's just a "formality".

I'm sorry are they telling me how to play the damn game? .. going to mute the sound until they change the subject I guess
|
Knew the top200 would be in it lol seeing they had the top200 each week. But didn't expect a 2nd ladder tbh but now top1-2% of region that's what atm? 1800+?
Edit:
I love that quote. Unlike RL you don't want to save money in the bank :D

Pimping day9 daily? FUCK YA
New leagues and icons? FUCK YA
Called grand masters? Kinda gay..

Hopefully they don't split GM into two divisions of 100 :p.
