on another interesting note, the stress (i hope its that and im not just crap now) is causing me to play alot worse, and i am checking a players profile after a match, and even losing vs high diamond players, i do not understand why it is matching me against diamond, when it was just masters league, it was VERY rare i faced a diamond, but at the moment its quite common.

surely my MMR could not suddenly go from GM, to low low master (low enough to face diamonds, albeit favoured.)

either way, I am at a loss here of how to clear this pool and manage to keep it there, while still having a normal 9-5 job.

GM league, has... really made laddering stressful, i was a ladder fanatic, one of those ppl whoe check their points all the time and really take their rating seriously(even though its not the best way to look at ur skill level, but hey i love numbers)

I actually dont want to play sc2 lately, as this situation has really ruined things for me.

if anyone has any ideas or comments pls let me know

its difficult to clear away bonus pool, thats why they drop GM away once they hit a certain amount of bonus pool stored..

So you have to stay active and most importantly(win) to clear the bonus pool else will drop drop and the seat will be replace by another person.

For idea to clear bonus pool.. i think either ask a friend play for you~
or
(not sure about this) - since you keep losing and your MMR go lower which will have you facing lower league opponents(while staying in GM) increasing your winning chance and you will start to win and also clear to bonus pool
