Do you guys think that due to the Grandmaster's League that some people have come out of nowhere and started playing and that could be the reason why it seems like some of the games have gotten harder? These people didn't have any incentive to play before, but now with the Grandmaster coming in, everyone's taking their shot at it?
I think it probably has something to do with the how the ladder system matches players since the reset. It seems that MMR was somewhat reset, or at least not fully pulled over from season 1.
If your MMR was towards the lower end of your league, then you probably were getting matched up with people who are a lot tougher than you would normally face. This is what happened to me at first, it seemed. And then you can look at guys like SelecT at the top of the ladder. He is 40-5 since the reset. He's probably been getting matched up with guys a lot lower than he normally would. I imagine it will all even out after a few weeks, like it did after release.
