We will be moderating harshly in this thread. Think twice before you post. Things we are watching for: image macros, balance whining, "eagles", player bashing etc. We encourage civil and reasoned critique of our moderation - please post it in the website feedback forum.

Please don't complain about MLG stream quality or MLG itself. They work very hard to provide you with an enjoyable service.

Enough with the racism discussions, this is a LR Thread. Cut it out.

Hoping for Naniwa to take this, but I think that MMA might be the favorite after seeing the previous games.

The rest of their roster (Axslav, Strife, Demuslim) lost pretty soon.


In all fairness Strifeco took out Demuslim in a team-kill very early.

And he did ge decently far, I believe one round before Championship bracket.
And wasn't Axslav in the CB? Losing to Cruncher there?
I am dissapointed about DeMu though, huge fan and I hoped he would do better.


Axslav got pretty far too. I cannot remember whether or not he lost to Cruncher. The open brackets page is broken atm.

I wish they would just make the tournament a straight forward double elimination tournament, with 128 or 256 players starting in the first round; and get rid of the pool play/extended series crap.

Would make it a lot easier to understand.


It would also be a worse tournament.

All they need to change is how hard it is to drop out of pool play for the next season. Everything else is near perfect.


I dunno, I think it's a little harder to get really excited when a match is to decide. . .who, uh. . .gets a better seeding from pool play, potentially, depending on, like, how the rest of the pool play results work out. Oh, and to potentially maybe get a lead in any extended series. Hype!! Still, I guess you have to love the fact that you get pros playing pros the entire time rather than Naniwa stomping Uniden for the first day.

But yeah, points should constantly be degrading in value. Say, points from one event ago are worth X, then points from two events ago should be worth around 1/2X, three events should be 1/3X, and so on. You could tweak the numbers but I think that would be the best way to go about it.
Did you ever say Yes to a single joy?

People were complaining about the format earlier, so I thought I put in my own two cents.

Seems like the format is structured where two players who met in Pool play before are very likely to meet. A, B, C, D refers to the specific group the players were from in Pool play.

B A B A
C D C D
D C D C
A B A B

Would like to see them change it up such that there is a very unlikely chance of players rematching each other in the championship bracket until they've "ran the gauntlet" so to speak. Something like this:

A B C D
D A B C
C D A B
B C D A

Hope you get what I mean... it would have prevented the Liquid guys from all being in the same bracket.

ya this has been posted before
general consesus is that mlg columbus wants to show off their extended series rule

which is kind of annoying

Yeap, really doesn't make that much sense. You get to be the champion by showing that you're better than everyone else (people from other groups), not by beating the same player twice (and with the help of the extended series at that).

regarding my voice from last night:

for any of you who didn't know, i had a severe allergic reaction to my SHIRT on friday. Apparently, the starch used to make it look crisp and professional caused my body to break out in hives. So, I spent all of friday night awake and scratchy scratchin. Your voice always heals when you sleep so.... no break for voice = goodbye sexy baritone.

i'm doing reasonably ok this morning. I just gotta not shout at wheat during the intro show :D
Whenever I encounter some little hitch, or some of my orbs get out of orbit, nothing pleases me so much as to make the crooked straight and crush down uneven places. www.day9.tv

Want to see Thorzain clawing his way through the loser's bracket and all the way to an epic final against anyone of MMA/July/MC/Naniwa..!


He can't get anywhere near the final without beating MC, where he will start 2-0 down. I'd be very surprised to see Thorzain make the latter stages.

They could perhaps seed the highest rated 16 players so they wouldn't have to face each other until the late stages of the tournament, say Ro16.

Would make it a lot easier to understand.


Its very easy to understand, just look at one of the charts floating around.

I imagine they have it like this is so there is always cast-able matches going on. Having the pool makes sure they don't every have to cast pros stomping an open bracket. It means you can start it all off with Idra vs MC and not Idra vs noobslayer683.

I didn't notice this until you pointed it out. LMAO YES, there is a possibility that we can see INCONTROL versus MACHINE once again.

Wouldn't mind seeing Naniwa take MLG again, he's always so consistently badass I can't help but like his play.


And he is the only foreigner who is willing and wants to play in GSL. So it would be nice to see him win and get that entry.

Bracket looks fantastic. Can't wait to see Losira and Idra tear it up and eventually duke it out.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.
