Due to technical issues, the Grandmaster start date information contained in the Profile > Ladders > Current Season tab is displaying incorrectly. This is only a visual issue and will not affect the actual start time of Grandmaster League. As with previous seasons, Grandmaster League will start one week after the Season Roll, in this case at midnight between 02/06/2016 and 02/07/2016 PST (or 02/07/2016 @ 8:00am UTC). We appreciate your patience while we work to address this visual issue and apologize for any inconvenience.

Due to the challenger league format, knowing the correct start time for the Grandmaster league is very important.
Since there is a visual bug in the game, which displays a wrong date, I think it's worth posting the information here.
So GM opens between 02/06/2016 and 02/07/2016 at midnight PST for NA and midnight CET for EU. Good luck to everyone!

No info on the other bugs? Nothing prevents a pro to abuse the leave game bug and snipe everyone else.

I think the leave league bug has been fixed, actually.

They said this about the leave league bug.
"Leave League Bug
This turned out to not to be a universal issue, but we have confirmed that under certain circumstances leaving league can produce unintended matchmaking behavior. We have already mitigated various edge cases that led to this in recent hotfixes, and we expect further improvements moving forward."

wow they actually addressed the wrong date issue. i wonder how hard it is for them to actually fix it though.. (unless they did that, too? havent checked) i couldnt imagine that it would be very hard as it is just a graphical text date.
leaving league now gives you 5 placement matches, whereas the last season it gave just 1. i havent tried it to see if it is fixed now though

Thanks for the info! Can anyone confirm that midnight between 02/06/2016 and 02/07/2016 PST is at 9:00 am (02/07/2016) in Germany? Thanks!

Yeah it's midnight for both servers. So GM opens in 6 hours for EU! I updated the OP to make it more clear.

why would they say that it would be up 00:00 and then not have it go up by then?

But they specifically said that it would be up the midnight between 06-07 CET.
