It is here, it has happened. Season two is upon us! The numbers have all been reset, and the stomping of nerds can continue. I foresee a bunch of action happening on the ladders over the next couple of weeks for several reasons:
1) The top will be scrambling to try and get into Grandmaster League. The top 200 of each realm will be joining this prestigious league, and everyone is going to want the points.
2) Anyone who is changing races will be doing so now, when their points aren't at stake.
3) People are going to be looking for promotions now that the freeze and been lifted. In addition people are going to want the take the opportunity to be at the top of their division while they can be.
Personally, I started off the ladder in a great way, by losing my first match (I really need to figure Protoss out someday), something that I improved upon, and at the writing of this post I'm 6-4 (go me!). After winning my second game though I was actually at 2nd in my division, which I really should have taken a screenshot of. Especially because its going to be the only time I'm ahead of Liquid'Haypro who is in my division! I imagine that with the reset the pros will get spread a little more evenly, with the larger amount of Master's Divisions in existence.
And so the process of the best floating to the top begins. the ladder reset should flush out all that dead weight at the bottom of each division. For laughs I put myself in top 8 of my random 2v2 division in the previous season. And it took me exactly 23 wins to do. So now things will get more active until it has time to accumulate. That said, a large number of people will choose to play one game, just to place, but what can you do.
That is all for now, next up I'll be talking about the GomTV World Championships Friendly Korea vs. The World showmatch. And epic series that you should all check out, AND you can find the VODs for free on the Gomtv.net webpage. And let me tell you this - it was not as one sided as you might expect.
Cheers
