This is great news. MLG is my favorite tournament series for SC2. I do hope that some Koreans will start coming out to it. Honestly, they should have Korean stream. That would bring in some more cash =) I cant wait for this MLG season to start | ||

That was a test run, however, they are using a 256/16 Open/Championship bracket system for SC2 for 2011: On February 04 2011 02:35 MLG_Adam wrote: SC2 will be treated like every other pro circuit title: championship bracket. Look for 256 open plus 16 pre seeded pro players already in the money bracket. That is why regular season is important. and The 2011 StarCraft 2 Regular Season will be huge, featuring: * 272 players (from http://pro.majorleaguegaming.com/competitions/16#event_33_event_information ) I just don't know if there were any changes to the system since the 2009 post I grabbed that image from. | ||

Is there an information page somewhere you are referencing or perhaps a post from an MLG staff member? | ||

That is to say use a system directly imported from Halo. | ||

And as a "League" format, it's very plausible that people who had done well in "regular season" have fair rewards for performing well consistently. So please, people who have a huge problem with this stop bringing Halo as a bullseye for your hate, and instead focus on a real constructive suggestion. | ||

It gives a massive advantage to the 16 seeded players, who would play 5-10 rounds to win while open bracket players would play 15-20 rounds to win. Basically, there is the Open Bracket (256 Player, Double Elim, Not Shown above) and the Championship Bracket (16 seeded players, 16 through Open Bracket) For the Open Bracket, they play (given the image) through 6 rounds of the Winner's Bracket and 8 rounds of the Loser's Bracket. This leaves 16 players: 4 players in the Winner's Bracket. ("C") 4 players that lost in WBR6 and haven't played in Loser's Bracket (They would play in LBR10) ("B") 8 players that have played in the Loser's Bracket (making it to LBR9) ("A") Championship Bracket: 16 seeded players are in the winner's bracket. The losers of the WBR1 and WBR2 are put in a placement bracket (PBR). WBR1 Losers go in PBR1. WBR2 Losers go in PBR2. WBR3 and Winner's Bracket Finals (WBR4) Losers go into the Loser's Bracket. "A" Players from Open Bracket are placed in LBR1 "B" Players from Open Bracket are placed in LBR2 "C" Players from Open Bracket are placed in LBR3 PBR1 Losers go in LBR4 PBR2 Losers go in LBR5 PBR2 Winners go in LBR6 WBR3 Losers go in LBR8 WBR4 Losers go in the Loser's Bracket Finals (LBR10) And then Winner's Bracket and Loser's Bracket winners meet in the Grand Finals. Thank you for explaining it. After 3x reading I got the hang of it. If they will do it this way, they'll probably get so much shit from the community though. It just seems overcomplicated for its purpose. I think that the seeding idea for the top-pros is quite nice, but I would like to see the open round players on equal footing after going through all those qualifiers. Basically a normal Double-Elim 32-player bracket. We will see what they have in mind. Still extremely pumped for this MLG-Season. | ||

I figured it would be closed invites like halo. Some one from MLG already stated it was open BUT like i suspected they are using the Championship bracket format. Which means if a pro foreigner only comes to the Nationals he would have to play through open bracket (easy) but once he reaches Championship bracket he will be DOWN automatically in the series vs whoever he plays. that is the (extreme advantage) mentioned earlier. Either way... Nationals will have sick turnout. | ||
