They played consolations afterwards to determine seeding.

Well, I asked someone from MLG about why theres only 16 open signups guaranteed and why they haven't expanded to 64/128 since the tickets sold out in seconds last time, and they are bound to again here.

On bnet he told me "its a 64 person tournament again" which confused me since last time it was a 32 person tournament, but at least there were 32 open signups, now there are between 16 and 32, and it'll probably be closer to 16.

So I said "Oh, I thought the 16 were included in that 32, so does that mean there are 48 open signup spots and 16 invite spots" (which totals 64 like he had mentioned). Now this confused me even more because he started telling me that I don't read the threads when it looks like multiple MLG threads are contradicting themselves (as MLG tends to always do, since they update their website seemingly once every 6 months). He links me to an mlgpro.com link which told nothing, but prefaced it by saying "Open Brackets will support as many as 64 Players." as if he had copy&pasted that from somewhere.

So then I asked him, "so what is it. 32 man bracket wtih 16 spots guaranteed to top 16 from raleigh? 32 open signup spots + the top 16 from last time? 48+16? etc.?"

He then says to me "Nothing has changed since Raleigh" at which I pointed out, how can you say nothing has changed if there were 32 open signups last time, and no seeds, and this time nobodies clarified if it is a 32, 48, 64 man bracket and how many of those signups are open to non top-16 players.

Then he tells me to just post in the thread. So here I am confused as hell, hoping to dear god that someone from MLG in the know can clarify. What is the maximum amount of players in the bracket including the top-16 invitees? 64? Then why does this thread say 32. And are the top-16 invitees separate from the open signups or do they just sign up as well and get priority?

Please dear GOD someone answer me with a legitimate number and answer that doesn't contradict everything.

I would not recommend an MLG il mee meetup. any MLG meetups or hangouts should absolutely be in Alexandria or around national harbor. majority of people will be in these areas anyway.

True. I personally don't know the area around the national harbor, but the resort should have something hopefully not too expensive. Might be packed.
