MLG Dallas is an invite tourney, as opposed to having a qualifier(s). Prior to Season 2 Championships, there was very little detail about the next MLG.
I'm assume that Krepo had this vacation planned a while back, to return home after Worlds and catch up with his family. MLG invited CLG.eu after Krepo made plans, which is probably more important to him atm than another NA event that isn't worth any circuit points.

I don't see how Froggen raging in solo queue at someone who trolls him and kids on reddit bitching at him would impact his performance.
CLGeu gonna be weaker but they should at least make semis imo especially since so many of the other teams haven't had a ton of practice with worlds and such (with the notable exception of Blaze whom I think will probably win).

Would be REALLY surprising. They play with a sub on support, and they have not had team practice for weeks (since the world finals). Yellowpete has only played a few games while in Europe and Snoopeh none at all.
Barring something surprising, Sword/Blaze/Eu top 3 seems like a given. How they split depends on how practiced each team is going in (though Sword isn't playing with a sub).

Makes me sad.
They're starting at 17:30, local time, and I doubt the venue is meant to stay open beyond midnight. Better question is why aren't they starting earlier today so they can fit all 4 matches in on stream.

BW pros were actualy encouraged to get one sometimes. It helps with relaxing, something pro players also need from time to time ^^
wut no they were not encouraged to have girlfriends lol. coaches didnt want the players to waste time on things other than the game.
thats silly, without a weekend or comparable offtime, work productivity goes way down. Its not like germany or sowjet union didnt try those things in darker times.
