His PvZ may not be up to par under Korean standards, but then again, Coca and Losira are substantially better than Idra and Sheth. If Alicia lands in group A he's basically guaranteed to get 2nd due to his excellent PvP and PvT. I doubt Naniwa and Huk can beat him. Sorry, but I believe you are seriously underestimating IdrA here, as everybody does for some reason. This guy is really good. REALLY GOOD. He swept MC last tournament and then lost 4-2 on the return. He could beat Alicia, and I predict that should Alicia get into that bracket, he will. | ||

MLG is even less international than NASL ( NORTH AMERICAN star league ) Well, this is to be expected when the MLG overprotects their seeded NA players and on top of that give away at least 4 seeds to Koreans each time (apparently since the Koreans in turn give them a Code S/A spot and it wouldn't be fair if they came from such a long way and had to qualify). As a result, EU is pretty much out of the picture. They have to pay their own way there and doesn't get any free seeding. Since they also have to go through the pretty long and tough open bracket, most choose to stay at home instead. Players such as Thorzain amongst many more. Perhaps Dreamhack shouldn't give top NA players any free seedings either, forcing every NA player to go through the open bracket. But, that would be equally silly to what MLG does at the moment and just make the tournament less interesting. It's a shame, since everyone loses with this kind of system and we get a lesser diversity of players. | ||

Well, MVP has two GSL championships, which is a better resume than everyone who has ever competed in MLG combined. WRONG dude- that's blatantly WRONG- MC has a wayyyy better resume than him -2 time GSL champion-2nd place at NASL??? and he has won Dream hack and so many other tournaments?? MC is hands down the best player to ever compete at MLG- he could've easily defeated MMA- but they never played each other. But i still predict MVP to win this MLG. | ||

There are way too many great players that end up getting knocked out in the open bracket because another great player is in it as well. The competition at every stage of the tournament is just way too fierce for the current system to actually make any sense. If it is going to be done in one amazing weekend of amazingness -- I think the current system is the only way to ensure it a)gets done on time and b)has a great final few rounds | ||

It's a shame, since everyone loses with this kind of system and we get a lesser diversity of players. I am an NA player and personally love seeing my NA guys get these types of chances. What kind of system would you propose that would get the EU players into the MLG? I do agree that not having the best of the best from EU is only hurting the MLG tournaments. The only type of system I could see working quickly is to provide some kind of Dreamhack - MLG link much like the GSL - MLG link, where the top 4? from Dreamhack would be seeded in the MLG tournament. This would help those EU players who are good enough to help remove the "oh well i have to play in the open bracket" barrier from them traveling to play in MLG. That being said, the lower players traveling to still play in the open bracket is an issue that can only be resolved by more $... | ||
