Season 4 has begun!
Posted by p33p on October 26th, 2011 filed in StarCraft NewsThe fourth ladder season is upon us, featuring the return of Metalopolis, the removal of close spawn locations and reduced season lengths.
Season 4 has arrived! Season 3 milestone rewards will be locked in at this time and bonus pools will reset. 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. Don’t forget to review the map changes which are coming in Season 4 as well.
Beginning with Season 4, two changes are 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.
Good luck, have fun!
