    Does this mean I'm soon going to have to redo the placement matches I just did yesterday?

    Your current ladder record is erased(not exactly, but you'll start out with 0 points) but they'll keep your hidden MMR and you'll only have to play a single placement match before you're placed into your new division.

    Since they won't wipe your MMR I am failing to see what the whole purpose of seasons and resetting the ladder are...

    @raiz265: They are meant to get rid of the players who are not active. You know these annoying 20 people from the bottom of your league with 0 points who got there with pure luck? Or your friend who bought an account just to play with you but doesn't anymore? 
     
    I'm happy that the higher leagues will get rid of the non-active players; that way people who have been stuck on the 1st place in their lower leagues will get a chance to improve. I personally hate it when 20% of spots in a league are taken by players with 0 points while people in the leagues below struggle to get promoted.
     
    This reset won't actually hurt the active players, since you'll just get a chance to be in a league actually fitting your skill; even if you don't do really well in the 1 placement match, as your MMR will stay the same, you'll be matched against players on your level. But hey, if you just bought an account 4 months ago and don't play the game anymore you'll be dropped to, let's say, bronze to leave a spot for more active players.

    @imsh_pl: Hm ok, makes sense.. But won't really help me since I'm top5 in my Diamond division and Grandmasters is only made up of "active players" as far as i know(?). :P

    @raiz265: Yeah, it propably won't help top players in diamond and above, since I'd imagine people have to be more active to stay there, but for me - a gold player with 260 games played, which I'd say is a fair number - it would be a huge opportunity if the last 20 spots from the platinum leagues got demoted to bronze (I mean the guys who don't play and are stuck in plat with 20 games each).

    @imsh_pl:  
    According to my understanding of the ladder the placement of anyone else does not have any effect on your personal placement.  So regardless of how many people who never play games are in the platinum or diamond leagues or whatever, if you have the skill to be there you should be there. 
     
     
    That said, it would be nice to thin out some of the groups and get the groups of 100 consolidated so that active players have other active players in their group of 100.  It would create more rivalry and foster competition hopefully.

    Good, I managed to get to gold 1v1 and then stopped playing and now it's very hard to start again.

    When you find out about the date, throw a whole ton of games and that should fix your problem. 
     
    They did a test reset on the PTR and it upgraded me to Gold on it.  Which is hilarious because all I did on PTR was nuke rush with terran and won few games.
