Ok i thought this had to be pointed out, as i write this blog there is currently only about 100 GM's on SEA and i wouldn't be lying if about 30% of them aren't even active enough to stay as GM. A lot of our pro's (who i won't mention for confidential reasons) have purposely or accidentally dropped out of GM or don't ladder to GM for reasons like...
1. i heard GM's say stuff like you can win like 2-8 points but then lose 20-30 on the ladder which makes spending the bonus pool difficult.
2. For some (or most im not sure what the story is) it takes WAY too long to find a game, some people have to wait 5-10 mins for a game at times cause if the inactive sea GM count and such which sometimes gets GM's to verse bronze players? O_o
3. SEA GM isn't at a high quality level (don't get me wrong our SEA GM players are good) and therefore they just all run away to ladder on NA and or on KR or even EU, leaving SEA temporality or forever.
Theres probably more but this is what i can think about for the moment, i guess my conclusion here, is that is there a way to get SEA GM to be improved number and skill wise? I just find it sad how bad our SEA GM ladder looks, how many guys on KR, EU and NA say how crap and bad SEA GM is it's just sad. Any thoughts from the people that have been or are SEA GM?
