It should refresh every week, take the top 200 MMR's with the active requirement. That way if you go inactive (like Tom said), you'll get demoted but once you're active again (MMR permitting) you'll get promoted at the start of the next week.

I could get an account with 200-20 into GM (lose 20 to drop to lowest of bronze, then win the next 200), doesn't make me "better" than many of the players that would have a "worser-looking record". Win percentage does give a nice indication of skill, as well as looking so damn pretty, but it has always been overrated as they don't seem to tell the overall story(like a "hot girl" in a bikini):
1) Players with absolute "sick records" generally spend less time laddering and more time "training" or "custom-gaming" which aren't recorded, this also creates a "elite" effect of how little games they seem to have played, they still appear to be freaking good.
2) There are ways that you can manipulate the system for a nice win percentage record, so that people who really care and aim for those records are going to get it.

I don't agree with Blizzard taking the W/L out of BSGPD, I really think they should have at least an option to display it to others or only to yourself. But I guess this way it motivates more BSGPD players to play, a very good marketing ploy.

Gogogo SEA GM!

I think people should stop playing on other servers and just play on SEA, that way our ladder would be better.

Even still, our player base is still very low and for high mmr's it's very repetitive opponents and/or long waits.

Said top players would then get better slower. They need to play on NA/KR to increase their own skill level.

Blizzard had revived the pros in the SEA region, all who want to be the top in this new league xD

Jabberwocky · Wed, 13th-Apr-2011, 10:34 AM

I like the idea of not seeing W/L for leagues under Masters as that also means you can't see your total games played. Less guilt from seeing how much time I spend on SC2

Xeen · Fri, 15th-Apr-2011, 4:30 AM

At first I was just being dramatic by saying we'd have to play all the time.

Now I see that my games are going to be +4/-20 against other GMs around my rank. Let's assume I go 50% wins - that's a lot of games I need to play to continually keep bonus down. As a chore.

God forbid I do anything else and thus come back to having to clear 100 bonus at once.

Looks like it's time to all-in people.

DuckSauce · Fri, 15th-Apr-2011, 6:50 AM

What's stupid is according to Blizzard's post on the GM league, they specify people will remain in the GM spot until the season ends unless their bonus pool piles up. By that rule, people could lose 100 games in a row to bring their MMR down to a Bronze level, then win a lot of games to keep their bonus pool down, while still maintaining the GM league status.
(Blizzard never mentioned there was a demotion, they only said once you're in, you stay in)

What a joke.

Xeen · Fri, 15th-Apr-2011, 3:53 PM

That's far less of a joke than practically having to play 1-2 hours a day to maintain your position (never mind rank) in GM league.

DuckSauce · Fri, 15th-Apr-2011, 6:06 PM

90 BP a week means 12.85 BP a day. If you won 2-3 games a day (depending on if you're favoured or not) then that's not hard to maintain. The stupid thing is once you're in, you can be vsing players from Bronze, and maintaining GM League (according to Blizzard...)
