StarCraft II
Blizzard has just notified everyone with a Battle.net post that the ladders are going to be locked again on Tuesday, July 5 at 5:00am PDT. They also tell us that, while we will be unable to be promoted or demoted during the lock, our hidden ratings will continue to update for matchmaking purposes, such as league placements in Season 3:
Please note that the hidden ratings used to determine promotions and demotions will continue to update during the Season 2 lock and be used for matchmaking purposes. This means that if you play significantly better or worse than your assigned league at the time of the lock, your league may change when Season 3 begins and you play your first placement match. If you go on a major winning streak during the lock, for example, you may end up promoted next season. Conversely, if you happen to lose a lot more than usual, you may end up demoted. Your games during the lock still count!
Hidden skill ratings used for matchmaking and league placement will carry over from the previous season, so if you’ve completed placement matches in a previous season you will only need to play one new placement match after Season 3 starts.
Season 3 itself will start after a scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, July 19. Cheers to the fun that was in this season and the fun that will be in the season to come.
