As for the invites, I liked them last time mostly because they weren't all the absolute best players from Korea. Of course MC is considered one of the best if not the best, but then MMA and Losira were two very strong players, and Moon was a weaker player. I think similar invites would be great. Something like MKP, Ace, Min and Fruitdealer. | ||

Well MC and Moon have been to a bunch of international events. Their teams clearly have no problem sending them. But yea I guess no guarantees on MMA or LosirA. | ||

1. Better to stay at the sponsored hotel or look for something cheaper? There's a Hilton across the street from the conversion center and they are giving a discount for people going to MLG at 115$/night, (says single, double, triple, or quad) Is it better to go for this, or go find some discount place a few blocks away where we(me and a buddy are going) could probably get a room for 80$. 2. How closely do they check ID's? I was reading the rules and it says that if you are not 18 (or age of whatever) that you'll need an onsite guardian or parent for registration, I'm 17, and will be less than a week from being 18, during the event. Do they actively check IDs or? I've already sent an email out to MLG too see what, if anything can be done, but it might not be needed if it's the sort of thing where they aren't checking... 3. What's the open bracket look like skill wise? I mean there's defiantly going to be a few pro players in there but is it like 50% are high high masters or GM or higher, or is there a pretty large number of lower level people who are just sort of there? 4. Is it worth it to go if I can't participate but just act as a spectator? My flight is being paid for my by parents as a grad/18th birthday present, I'll have to pay for my own food and room (splitting with a friend). 5. Is there anything else I should consider? I'll be 17, traveling from Canada by myself, staying with a friend for the 4 days during the event, is there anything event, or non event related to consider? Thanks, Lobber | ||

Remove rediculous extended series. Balance the amount of games people have to play, for example pool winner can win entire tournament in just 8 matches now, whereas some others have to play up to 20 matches. Advantage for pool players needs to be reduced and there should be less matches that aren't likely to matter anyway. Except the rediculously stupid format the tournament is quite good and enjoyable to watch. | ||

For Colombus, all the Korean players who were seeded had to play a closed tournament in Korea to qualify for the MLG spot. Says who? Pretty sure they were just chosen and invited. The only player that won anything to get sent was July but that was completely separate to MLG inviting players and he was in the open bracket. | ||

Thanks, Lobber Is the onsite parent for registration a new thing? I had my parents sign a consent form online, print it out, and hand it in when I was 16/17 playing Halo 2 MLG. You should find out about that cause that's strange. | ||

You'll need to have your parents/legal guardian sign the parental consent form here: https://team-builder.majorleaguegaming.com/media_release_forms/2011_MLG_Appearance_Release_with_Parental_Consent_2011-04-25.pdf When you check-in on the Friday of the event, you'll provide this form signed. | ||

It seems that the prize pool has held steady at $14,000 at least since Dallas despite the blatant popularity of SC2. I'm just surprised the prize pool hasn't grown as fast as audience numbers for SC2. | ||

I don't know if anyone else already said this, but if I recall correctly, Jinro and Huk passed on Columbus to play in some GSL | ||
