Anyone want to assign point values to the top 32 and see who makes top 16 next MLG? I'd be very interested to see how many of the same faces from this weekend's top 16 make it in.

How were so many toss in the running here? I'm used to seeing toss vastly under-represented in tournys such as GSL, etc. Has the game shifted to favor toss a bit more than a few months ago? Apologies if this seems obvious (I've taken a fair amount of time off following the scene)

The people who made top 16, as long as they show up, are the people who will be top 16 at Columbus, the points from last year only seeded this weekends competition, then this years points take over.

Makes you wonder how MLG spent the ~5mil$ they grossed last year.


Ever seen a CEO, COO, CFO, or VPs paycheck? Not much to wonder about.



Posts like these are really frustrating... So silly to think that MLG is a bunch of fat cats rolling in money. Also the assumption that the title CEO somehow guarantees a huge salary is so ridiculous I don't even know where to start.

MLG is very young as compared to the big European e-sports events. In addition to that, the north american RTS scene is just plain smaller than in Europe.

While it is true that MLG had some hiccups during this event(most of which were out of their direct control), it is clear that they want nothing more than to put forth a good product, and in the end of the day this event gave us some really good games.

People really just need to stop depicting MLG as this huge corporate entity cutting corners for profit at every possible place, because really that is just not true. When the qqing reaches the realm of "why wasn't there confetti?!?!" you should just stop.



They have a budget of millions and a prize pool equal to community tourneys with 1 or 2 sponsors... so yeah.


dont forget that the prize pool is actually smaller than the money the players themselves contribute by paying $70 each to play...

208 * $70 = 14560

Ok.. THAT right there just made me pretty darn mad.

MLG has always been like that. here is an article about Gamebattles (owned by MLG)
http://reflectzyn.com/competitive-gaming/2011/02/12/how-gamebattles-is-taking-advantage-of-you/
they are a "business" what do you expect
GET REAL

well, the total prize pool for Dallas was exactly $14,000, most its not that bad.

thats cuz the bracket didnt fill up. imagine if they had full 256
thats almost 18k.....also add in the gb online qualifier for this event. thast probably an extra 200-300 bucks

Why did TL have to become so strict in LR threads. These might as well be an extension of the official blizzard boards now... won't be using TL anymore for reading/posting during tournaments.

add up 1st-8th place winnings = 14k, only 560 difference


and last time i checked 14000 was SMALLER than 14560... what is your argument

I would personally say that yeah the current metagame favours protoss slightly (I said current, before anyone calls me a balance whiner).

Thank you all, this thread (despite the too eager banhammers of the MODS) was the best part of MLG. You all came together as a community and made us see the humour in the situation; the memes and pictures, jokes and jesting, it has all been awesome. Quality QQ!

Love you. Sleep well.

ye, an awesome time we had.

Such a child, bad loser and bad sportsmanship. Kinda sad.

However he does say what he actually thinks straight up no bs, which is good.


Woohoo that's the mentality of a winner. Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods are douches in real life too. Don't worry Idra they'll buff Zerg someday.

They are strict because TL expects a certain standard amongst its posters, and rambling on about Eagles or WC v SC isn't exactly part of the Live Report thread. For one thing, the live report thread is supposed to help inform those who aren't watching the stream at the moment or to let someone quickly catch up with how things went down during a game.

Pretty much. The current metagame favors Protoss a lot, many strong builds. MC, San, Anypro, White-Ra and TT1 in GSL WC, and Naniwa, KiWiKaKi, Socke and iNcontroL in MLG.
Lee Jae Dong proved that a focus on mechanics and execution could solve problems in the StarCraft game strategy.

If you think that restricting threads to their topic is "strict" TL probably isn't the place for you anyway.
