Who is this mOOnGLaDe person you speak of? :P I heard about the MLG drama's you had, pretty terrible form by them to be honest. The admin in charge needs to be KFC.
Interesting about the high ranking masters. The difference between reaching GM there is the ping? Timezones? or skill level?

Honestly ping makes a difference, a bit of it is luck however. Really it comes down to how many smurfs of the Code S guys get in first, mixed in with who happens to be playing on the day etc. I'd say the top 2-3 of most masters divisions are easily interchangeable with the bottom ~50 GM's.
GM is fun to try for, but I wouldn't take it as a hard and fast measure of skill, only an approximation*
*Clearly if anyone is remotely near this level, they are GOOD, I'm not trying to belittle any of their achievements.
