Couldn't find a link directly to the ladder, so I've used the #1 player's profile link. Interesting that only 87 players made the cutoff, rather than the top 200. As I'm looking the cutoff appeared to be 150 points (I assume the points are a direct carry from the Master's division).

Alternatively, it may be that only 87 players (as of the time of writing) have played a match since the 1.3.2 patch this morning, and the other spots will fill this afternoon / evening.

Edit: Seems that has been answered: I checked again and there are 89 players listed, with 150 points still being the lowest ranked player. Guess we'll see it fill out over the next 24 hours or so as more potential GM's play a 'placement' match to prove they are active.

Edit #2: Looking at sc2ranks, it seems clear there there is a point offset between Master and Grandmaster League. I'll leave it to the wizards over at TL to work it out exactly.

What interests me is that there is only 1 point seperating first and second.

Do you by any chance know if service went down for this?

Heh. The top three players on the server are currently TASanchez, 72-61 with 307 points; mOOnGLaDe, 17-1 with 306 points; and NeoRedArchon, 9-9 with 300 points.

I mean, of course mOOnGLaDe is a total baller, so that's no big surprise, but the strange skill distribution that (presumably) results from the smaller player base over on SEA is kind of interesting. (As I understand it, Master SEA is a noticeably lower skill level than Master NA, whereas from my experience it's the other way around, at least at Silver-low Diamond levels...)

The ladder ranking certainly favours those who play more - unless Sanchez has improved a lot lately, there's no way he deserves to be near the top of that list (I was playing him a lot (and doing fine) while ranked #100-200 a month or two ago).

The only real skill disparity between servers comes in at the top of master league (so what is now grandmaster), because there are significantly fewer pros and semi-pros here.
