Season 3 is coming to an end soon, and Season 4 is on the horizon. At the end of each ladder season, leagues are “locked” which means players can no longer be promoted or demoted out of their current league or division, and bonus pools will stop growing. That’s no reason to quit playing: even after leagues are locked, players will still be able to play out their remaining bonus pool and compete for standing within their divisions until the end of the season two weeks later. The match-making skill ratings which determine league promotion and demotion will also continue to update during the lock, so games played during the lock still count toward league placement in Season 4.

The Season 3 lock will go into effect the week of October 10th. Season 3 will officially end, and Season 4 will begin on the week of October 24th. Season milestone rewards will be locked in at this time, and bonus pools will start over. Hidden skill ratings used for matchmaking and league placement will carry over from the previous season, so players who have completed placement matches in a previous season will only need to play one new placement match after Season 4 starts.

Beginning with Season 4, there are two changes coming to future ladder seasons:

• Each season will now last for approximately two months
• Grandmaster league placement time will be reduced to one week (from two weeks) to account for the reduced season length.

Hey, at least your internet is fixed. ;) I'm not sure how I feel about the shorter seasons. I'm certainly going to have more variation from season to season now, depending on my commitments at the time.

If you think you're going to be demoted, just wait for October 10th to role around when the leagues will be locked. :p

How accurate is SC2ranks? And how the heck do they track everything? I've never signed up with them but they seem to have all my information spot on, not to mention that their sample sizes for everything are gosu (presumably recording everything?).

its usually pretty accurate i use it to stalk ppl in 1v1 obs with panda lol ; o

it probably uses battle.net's profile thing but i have no clue it takes some time to auto refresh accounts (24hourish)



and no im not gonna get demoted this season i do play some masters still but my MMR has droped alot but next season if i dont put my MMR up i will drop ( like panda ). i do wanna blame lag but its kinda of a shitty excuse but true.

holden, your internet just got better ?
maybe there is cap and it just got reset, i used to have this high latency problem when i reach my cap limit (it was a daily cap so the i have good latency the morning after)until the government made the isp companies remove the cap.

check with your isp just to make sure, you don't want to play the first 10 days of the month with good latency and the rest with bad latency.

I can get there. I'm noting my rank goes up even though I'm not playing much; people ahead of me are getting promoted. So if I just take a couple nights to play 5-10 games, I think I can do it

Epic State of the Game incoming tonight:

@itmeJP JP McDaniel
so uh, @WhiteRaSC SC joins us tonight on @StateOfTheGame :)
 
I think DJ Wheat is a cool dude and all, but I can't stand him on ITT. He tries way too hard to be funny, fit in, etc. Meanwhile InControl often sounds like he's just biding his time, waiting to do SOTG. The show produces some cool conversations each week, but overall it just feels forced.

My dream show would be moderated/hosted by Mr. Bitter, who (like JP) can properly moderate a conversation, plus he knows a lot about the game.

Offering a unique look at what’s to come in StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, this silhouette teases a new, mysterious terran unit. But what could it be?

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
A new model of Thor and this time it'll actually be a good unit?
