I think they could've spread out the money down to 16th as that's very difficult to get in a 272 player tournament. And maybe bump up the regular season tournaments money, but that's nitpicking and pretty minor. But, it's pretty amazing how much money they're putting into it, and the national championship should be HUGE.

Also, 272 player tournament? Kind of an odd number So is that going to be a 256 player tournament, with the top 16 seeds getting byes to the ro32 (skipping 4 rounds) OR have 32 players playing preliminary games for 16 spots and have a standard 256 player tournament? Or, some other crazy, complicated system? Can we get some MLG clarification on this?



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.


That sounds like the 272 would only be at the National Championships. If it is also for the five normal events, on which basis do you select the 16 pros already in the money bracket? Last years results or something like that?

And have the 16seeded players any other advantage over the 16 open tournament players? I.e. like seeded players start in the Winner-bracket and the others in the Loser-bracket?

I like it and it will get bigger with time!

Lots of organizations went down because they tried to do bigger things to soon! GXL, clicarena , CPL etc..

MLG should use it's investments wisely and grow with time!

Ok but will it have the same bracket as halo? you know they changed the halo bracket last year to protect their pro players even more. last year they changed it so the top 16 are in the winners bracket. the 16 players that make it out of open bracket were automatically thrown into losers bracket of the pro bracket. is it going to be like this? or will it be back to the traditional 32 player championship bracket?

To any MLG guys out there, any word on whether you guys are going to use the extended series?

Looks good otherwise. Hope that this new stage set-up is significantly better than the 3-6 benches we had last year ^^

This is awesome. Much as I love the GSL, it's even better to see e-sports grow back here in North America. Though it's too bad that MLG is basically a US league (too bad for us Cnadians, anyways).

I don't think anyone here should really be nitpicking to complain about little things that aren't relevant to the prize pool.

This is awesome news. MLG is sticking their neck out. I really enjoyed watching the MLG's involving starcraft last year, and it's exciting to know it's going to be even better this time around.

How it works in halo:

There is a huge open bracket and a 32 man championship bracket, made up of the 16 pro teams and the final 16 people standing in the open bracket. When there are 16 people left in the open, there are 4 in the winner's bracket still--they get put in losers bracket round 2, and 12 people in the loser's bracket--they get put in losers bracket round 1. I think some of the pro teams get seeded into winner's bracket round 2 as well but I'm not sure.

IMO they need to do the traditional pro bracket where everyone starts off 0-0. its not to use the new pro bracket where 4 open players who don't lose at all throughout the open bracket, get automatically put into the losers bracket in the pro bracket. thats not fair at all.
