There was also 6 BO3 in a row needed to get into the group stages, not 8. I meant to say that even after he went and won his open bracket, he still had to go 4-0 to be in the same spot as incontrol. | ||

That's better than even GSL, in which a maximum of a fourth of Code S (8/32) can get demoted to Code A each season. Of course there are problems with the first season, but those will be rectified by a few seasons of relegation and promotion from opens. But then the season at the GSL is one month, sometimes with another month between seasons, while NASL is at least 4. It's simply a bad system considering the current inability of judging the good players from the bad, both right now and in a year. | ||

Their aren't even "open" players in GSL. (You have to be high on Korean ladder or invited to qualify for code A.) Code A players can't win the Code S tourney in a single season. Nobody says the GSL format isn't fair. MLG requires open bracket players to play 5-6 extra sets against mostly trash players, Top players are basically warming up. | ||

Yeah I saw the screenshot from one of the games with the proxy pylon...that's not cheese. It's essentially the same idea as a drop. And if you win from a drop no one is like 'herp you cheesed a better player and won'. TLO should have scouted his own damn base. If you let a probe in and let it build a pylon then don't see it, guess who's fault that is? | ||

The point is round robin pool play is a lot better than the old, simpler format for determining better players. You can argue that it's unfair on the players who have to make it through the open bracket first and I would agree, in fact even iNcontroL would agree (on SotG he commented that it's a ridiculous number of games to play and if you win the tournament you're going to spit on the cheque they hand you and just demand a glass of water). But Naniwa, who you used as an example, didn't exactly have to pound through an open bracket full of champions. If your goal is to determine let's say top 4 reasonably accurately, than MLG format is not really good. If there is a week group then winner of that group is automatically top 6. Better format is the standard group->bracket format, where from each group you take top 2-3 and put them into full single/double championship bracket. In that format the players from weaker groups have to still prove themselves before getting to top8/4. And It does still allow for the division into championship and open bracket as was done in MLG so you still keep the advantage of having good matches to cast all the time. | ||

Will HuK prove himself and meet IdrA in an epic rematch in the lower bracket? Will Incontrol win a game today? Can Tyler escape the lower bracket? etc.etc. So many epic stories to be told today. I get the feeling though it could be a disappointment, and it may just be a PvT finals with a Naniwa/Dignitas roflstomp. Tbh not a huge a fan of this format, but maybe next MLG will be better. + Show Spoiler + HuK fighting! | ||

Top 2 from each group should definitely be seeded in the winners bracket. I agree with that completely. | ||

That IS what has happened, you get into pool play based on seeds from previous events. They have had to prove themselves. The only weak link in iNcontroL's group which was the topic of discussion was Slush, MAYBE. And Slush is still no slouch. Oh and maybe Mihai but he earned it as well. | ||
