Earlier this week developer Blizzard released a large 1.2 patch for its sci-fi RTS game StarCraft II. One of the features in the new patch was the establishment of a new online Master League for the truly serious and skilled online players. According to Blizzard only the top 2 percent of all online gamers in each of the game's regions will be picked to join the new Master League.

The official StarCraft II web site has posted up some more info about the new Master League on its web site. One of the info bits is that there are plans to launch an even more elite class of players called the Grandmaster League, which will have the top 200 players in each of the game's region. There's no work yet on when this league will begin.
