This looks incredible, just wish the prize pool was bigger. Seems like it ought to be for such a stacked tournament.

youd think so but they do like 6 of these in the year and the final one is like 10x the prize pool

I think the open bracket and pool play at MLG should end. 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

Dreamhack had twice as many seeded players and two open tournaments in the same timeframe. So it can definitely be done without having some weirdo system.
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.

good read

Oh, right. I sort of skipped the part where I explain WHY these guys are the best two players in the entire tournament, assuming everyone knew. Well, MVP has two GSL championships, which is a better resume than everyone who has ever competed in MLG combined. As for DongRaeGu, you can look here.


Um oGsMC anyone... Still waiting on IMNestea to come to MLG though, no matter where it is, I'm going.

-.- Well you know that when Tyler is "dark horse", then there is some serious competition. I really hope Ganzi and Alicia do well, because most of Slayers is eclipsed by MMA and Boxer. -.- And sigh DRG is so scary that I really hope he gets knocked out early enough to not do damage to my hopefuls.
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

In my opinion MVP is SO overrated...I mean he's a great terran but a lot of his success was early on. If you look at his recent results he has not been impressive whatsoever, being beaten by Bomber (no shame there but still MVP is supposedly part of the Nestea, Mc trio, how can he be part of that if he can't defeat a rising star). Also being knocked out of his group in GSL July! His first Code S appearance in a longgggg time. And the icing on the cake, being dominated by QXC in the team league very recently. This MLG will be amazing but I'm not betting chips on MVP.

Clearly your completely forgetting that MC was at the last MLG and has also won 2 GSL championships.

Otherwise great article.

While I don't think he's overrated I do agree that he doesn't really seem to be on par with Nestea and MC. He is a VERY solid terran player and did win 2 GSL championships. However I think he has hit a wall and other players have caught up to him.There are so many great terrans in Korea that MVP is no longer the frontrunner that he used to be.

Looking forward to seeing Jinro, I really think he is going to come out of the open bracket. Also, im excited to see DongRaeGu I hope he lives up to the hype.

This is such a stacked MLG. I do agree that most of the eyes will be on Group A, and most of the hearts on Group B, but I really can't make predictions for this MLG.

Are you kidding me? He got 16th last MLG over Select, inControl and other great players. He played like a total boss last MLG and was talked about by the casters so much. He should have been mentioned either way.

Have a feeling that this MLG will be the best ever yet. The level of competition and the willingness for MLG to step their production value up to the next level are just some telltale signs. Absolutely can't wait to see the games and soak up the atmosphere.
