I think you misunderstood me. I don't hate halo, I hate halo reach. Also, saying Halo made MLG is kind of an interesting statement considering I believe the WoW 3v3 tournaments got more viewership then halo. | ||

Please correct me if I'm wrong. -explanation- I agree. Becoming one of the 16 "pro" players will give a ridiculous advantage, almost arbitrarily, because the 17th player is probably not going to be significantly less deserving of the top16 spot than the 16th player. Furthermore, the game and the players can evolve a lot over the course of the year. More likely than not you will end up with players who the community will agree should be in the top16, but aren't. This is made even worse by the fact that in SC2, unlike Halo, MLG isn't the only game in town, and therefore their tournaments alone are not a good way to rank players. In my opinion a simple ranking / seeding system works MUCH better, and you could supplement that with an open bracket, similar to how DH does a BYOC qualifier, to increase the number of participants without making the pros play a ridiculous amount of games. This champion bracket system completely falls apart as soon as you start having some of the best players outside of it. What if Jinro qualifies for the top16, and MVP only shows up for the finals, then Jinro has to lose three BO3 (or whatever) while MVP can only lose ONE BO3 before he's eliminated, assuming he makes it into the top32. Who would want the tournament to be structured like that? Seeding is one thing, it attempts to make it so the best players meet further into the tournament, but this MLG system is ridiculous, it gives more "lives" to some players. It's not competition on an even ground, it's silly. | ||

Look at MLG's championship bracket system. If you're a top 16 seed you can lose your first two series and still make it all the way to the finals. Whereas if you get into the championship bracket via top 16 in the open bracket, you're automatically put into the loser's bracket (even if you havent lost a single game) so if you drop a single BO3 you're done. | ||

No, It's a double elimination bracket. If you lose your first series you're put in the loser bracket, and if you lose your second series, you're out of the tournament. You than play another series to determine your placing. So NO losing 3 series in a row won't allow you to still have a run at the finals. | ||
