2012 Season 4: Map Pool Update and Tier Removal
When 2012 Season 4 begins on September 11, we’re making changes to both the ladder map pool and the ladder itself. The new map (Silent Dunes) is playable now! You can experience it now via the custom game interface in the StarCraft section, and it will join the ladder when the new season starts next week.
Ladder Map Changes
We’re changing:
(1v1) Tal’darim Altar LE
Rocks removed from the third base for all starting locations. With current popular gameplay, having rocks in the third is no longer viable.
Ladder Tier Removal
Currently not all divisions within a League are created equal. Individual divisions are actually assigned to different “tiers”, and players are assigned to tiers based on skill. This system hasn't been very transparent, making it difficult to determine your next promotion. For example, if you’re in a lower tiered Diamond division, just getting to Rank 1 doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll see a promotion soon.
With the goal of increasing transparency for ladder players, we’re removing tiers from the ladder with the commencement of 2012 Season 4. The removal of tiers from all leagues will allow players to better gauge exactly where they’re at on the ladder and how far away they are from the next league.
After this change, climbing to (for example) Rank 2 Diamond will mean that you are in the top 2% of all Diamond players, and you are very close to moving into the Master League. Similarly, Rank 50 Platinum is in the top 50% in the Platinum league, and so forth.
We'll be examining how well this works over the course of the coming season, and make a determination if we'll keep the system for the long term or make further adjustments, if needed.
