Sooo I was practicing yesterday just getting ready for Anaheim....usually player passes dont sell out within the day its available to gold leagues.....this case i was mistaken....I signed on and started hearing from others that player passes sold out in 5 minutes to just the gold memebrs .... I was an extremely sad panda and now am disappointed because I cannot show my stuff at Anaheim....at columbus i managed to make it top 80 and get into the Invite only qualifiers but could not get into the arena....

The thing that makes me the most sad is because i didnt even get priority to get a player pass even though MLG thought it was a good idea to give top 80 a chance to get into the arena but not even a chance to get into the spring championships.....

I may just be ranting but i hope MLG fixes this soon because im sure alot of others are in the same boat as me

A way they could fix this is that players that got into the Invite only Qualifiers could get first dibs considering alot of pro players would be in that boat anyway....also they could work with teams to have them reserve passes...

idk this might just be me being sad that the passes sold out so quick but they should really fix it

at the very least instead of opening player passes to gold MLG members they should open them to the invite qualifiers, and then possibly masters/gm players then open to all. this would allow any competitive player that is looking to attend a better chance and still have plenty of spots for the guys who want their shot at the pros.

also if it means the guys who want a shot at the pros get left out that's just too bad for them to be honest, get masters. makes for a more competitive and better event when you have a stronger playing field. Instead of 80 diamond and belows...

Do diamonds and plats still buy player passes? I remember in last year's MLGs there was always a bunch of diamond players in the open bracket..maybe they should make it so that only high master and GM players can play?

see the people who are less than masters can play pros in online tournaments...taking these passes make it hard for players that just need a chance to break out and it makes it even harder than it already is for any1 to break out in the scene...

Dustin Browder will be attending in Open Bracket


"Browder has secretly been tweaking balance and perfecting his game-breaking strategies he will unveil at the upcoming MLG (Major League Gaming) tournament in Anaheim, California"

Browder stated,

"I deeply feel that TERRIBLE TERRIBLE damage will be dealt and the winnings shall be mine. Game developer, or game GENIE, BITCH!?"

I thought they did open them to invite qualifiers? YaTa got an email saying he had a reserved player pass since he played in the invite-only qualifier.
