In fact, even before this I wouldn't be surprised if MLG had more viewers than the GSL internationally. It's a well-respected franchise in e-Sports that goes beyond just SC2. | ||

In the cheque, lets be honest no one is going to give a fuck about prestige when they win that kind of money :D Also very interesting to note If you won all six Reach tournaments ----- $200 000 for your TEAM, only $50 000 for YOU If you win all six SC2 tournaments ----- $75 000 for YOU ^^^BIG statement by MLG. I love Reach too but there is no doubt that SC2 is the better game. The money shows it. P.S. Screw COD I hope that game dies and the prize money is $100  | ||

And happy to see MLG in dallas again this year. Now I have to debate working at it or playing in it! | ||

I'M SO THERE EDIT: That was a tacky, cliche response in retrospect. I'm leaving it here to shame myself lest I post in a similarly douchebag-ish fashion again. | ||

Once you have accomplished top 8 (accumulated points from previous event placings) you will get a invitation to the nationals. So Koreans will not be able to attend Nationals out of the blue. Oh really? Man that sucks than. I thought last year what happen was that anyone could go but they just won't be seeded. Will be kinda funny to see MVP vs Idra 1st round or something. | ||

I don't think this is true. Jinro didn't attend the two regular events at D.C. and Raleigh, but was able to participate in the championship in Dallas. However, if they changed the rules for 2011, then I think it's a real shame. | ||

Go MLG! SC2 and esports fighting! I'll be tuning in for sure. MLG weekends I hooks up the PC to the big screen, get an HD pass, and then proceed to pig out all weekend. Good times. | ||

I don't know how the seeding works but it may very well be possible to only attend a few events and still qualify for the Nationals if you perform well enough. Someone like MVP may be able to show up when possible and get into the top 8 from just a few 1st/2nd place results. | ||

However, if they changed the rules for 2011, then I think it's a real shame. I think that's a good thing, if you want to be in the finals, you gotta play in the pre events. It's no different to GSL, you can't now qualify for Code S without going through Code A. Has to be a barrier for entry, that way only the best and most dedicated make it through, and also adds a bit of stability and recognisability to the player lineups. If someone comes out the blue and takes the Final, that'd just discredit the entire thing. Now if players want to be the best and win that big prize at the end, they have to the best over a longer period of time, not just that one weekend. | ||

I call bs... I can hardly believe the National Championship will consist of 8 players... Maybe you have to go through an extra qualification bracket if you're not top 8/16 but no way they will only have 8 players playing the NC. | ||

It's how they've always run their other events, they in all likelihood only did it differently last year because it started in the middle of the year. | ||

However, if top Koreans don't show up to MLG events, then the prestige won't be as high as the GSL. I'm hearing that the MLG championship will be based on top 8 finishes at MLG pro circuit events. This will most likely stop Koreans from participating and possibly Team Liquid members if MLG regular events coincide with GSL. | ||
