Okay we're going to start cracking down on people bashing players for no reason. You don't have to like every player, but at least show some respect. (as of page 402)

There are a lot of significant issues with this structure. Unfortunately, MLG doesn't enjoy advice on what would be optimal on this topic as proven by the extended series.

MLG's system is designed so that the best players/teams stay at the top - they want their top players and teams to get the most air time and to keep winning.

Those are the brackets for tomorrow. Tommorows games are everything from round 3 on and also of course the winners bracket.

the loser brackets are simply terrible =/.

we have great players like thorzain, july, and mc on the bottom half while the top half has some pretty bad players in comparison.

ret/slush/sheth/tyler etc are pretty good but nowhere near as good as the above.

really? then don't fucking watch it, especially when they aren't broadcasting any other match. Not like they chose the CLB over the winner's bracket, and besides all of these players have just as much of a shot at the title as do the big names...

remember a dude named naniwa? how do you think he won last mlg, up through the same brackets being cast right now, although based on your reasoning he probably sucks too...

yea but let's be honest, who the hell wants to watch col crunccher vs a gretorp or fenix when some sick sick names lingering in the lower bracket, OP is right, the top is really terrible. and guess what, since there's only two streams to four series per round, some crap top bracket series will be cast while two amazing bottom bracket series will be playing and one of those won't have the pleasure of being cast by tastosis or daywheat

yeah i mean, come the hell on. if thorzain wins one series he has to play MC AGAIN even though he already played him in the groups already.

talk about making your best players eliminate each other immediately while the bad players have free reign in top.

The "bad players have free reign in top" because they did well in pool play.. that's just the way it is. What are they supposed to do, put Slush at the bottom even though he did well?

the point of my post is that the groups should have spread out in a more even manner. 2 group c players, mc and thorzain will be playing each other immediately even though they played before.

2nd of group c should not be playing the 3rd of group c immediately in the loser brackets. it should be spread out more where we have something more like the 2nd of group c plays against the 3rd of group a and vice versa.

Well the format is just bad and encourages repeat matches... this post explains it well...

agreed. hopefully they change it around for the next mlg.

alot of t's that win against zerg on ladder is thanks to close spawns also, which might be fooling blizzard into thinking the matchup is in a good state

Given their performance, if they were more scattered through the bracket then none of them might have gotten to Round 7 at all. At least this way, if one person can beat Major, then at least they have one member who makes it deep.

Lol you linked it when he gave that attitude? I don't reward people who feel so entitled that they think I should do work for them for absolutely no reason.
