Season 5 Has Begun

The fifth StarCraft II League season has arrived! At this time, Season 4 milestones have been awarded, and bonus pools and standings have been reset. Hidden skill ratings used for matchmaking and league placement have carried 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 to kick off the new season.
Don’t forget to review the changes to the official ladder pool for season 5, as well, and keep in mind that Grandmaster League will start next week.
Good luck, have fun!

The time for the short seasons right now is understandable for people who want to get into grandmaster so it can continually reset for new players to try to enter the top 200 of the "Big League"(Grand Masters League)
For me I'm kind a glad that the seasons are short since i don't have to wait so long for my win/loss ratio to reset :p
During placement matches, i won 1, lost 3, "won" 1 from a gold/platinum player cause he surrendered so he could stay in bronze. (I was chatting with him, I like to talk a bit to other players ;) )
So, because for the "matchmaking system" I won from a far better player than me, and was placed in silver. There I get my $%^ kicked, lose about all (won 1, a couple already surrender after a few minutes, why i dunno)
And still I'm not demoted to bronze, where I belong more imo.
Can someone explain me how this works? I also do often 2v2 / 3v3 / 4v4 wiht silver/gold games, where we win a lot as team. Are those games also counting for you 1v1 league?
Anyways, long post, i wanna conclude with these last famous words:
gl hf all !!!
:p
