The following is a list of behaviors that will get immediate bans:

1. Whining about stream
2. Bashing other games
3. Flaming other users
4. Bashing players
5. Complaining about imbalance

Basically just be respectful. Aside from that, enjoy the games, make sure you bring an umbrella and have some delicious waffles! (#)

MLG system works fine. So far, 3 out of 3 (the 4th being TLO, yet to play vs DeMuslim) 6th place in pool beat their opponent coming from the open loser's bracket.

You just described the exact reason why people think MLG's system sucks.


People from open bracket can't beat people from pool play, what's the problem?


You don't see a problem with MLG determining that a player who wins 1 BoX throughout the entire tournament is better than a player who wins 5?

I guarantee multiple people in pool play wouldn't make it through open bracket


Have you seen the same open bracket that the rest of us have? This events pool play especially was very weak.

match record. + drg won head to head.


But Select has lost less games. So, he is ahead, not?


Nope, goes on head to head instead of games won/lost.

Kinda a stupid rule imo that not many tournaments at least in Europe have but MLG do love their stupid rules.

Extended series... Determining 3 way ties by seeds... etc etc...


Extended series is probably the biggest turn off about MLG.

I hope a non code S wins, so we can see a new code S player.

There will always be a new code S player. If the winner is already Code S, a previous matches winner will be awarded Code S. Happened in the last MLG where the MMA/Boxer match was for the code S spot because MVP was already Code S.


It won't always be given. You have to be top 3 to be eligible. Code S won't be given to 4th place.

I hope puma gets code S, he is definitely code S caliber. I'd also be happy with DRG or a foreigner winning code S too.

Yeah except champs like iNControl losing to a random like TriMaster.

And 1 series means nothing, DeMuslim is 100x better than iNControl, Machine, Haypro, TLO. Those four players really REALLY need to get kicked from pool play. It's getting pathetic.

Edit. Moonan is a maybe. Although he'd probably always make it through open bracket.


haypro is actually really good.

Haypro has placed top 12 & 16 the two latest mlg's so he deserves his spot.

No. DRG beat him, as simple as that. It's like that in every sport.


In which sports is it that way? Not in any I follow at least..
Is it perhaps an NA vs EU-thing?

Well i dunno about really good, that's pushing it a bit. But he's decent certainly. If he had better macro he'd probably be pretty good.

I think it's 5 because the extended series was 2-1 to start, but still very good for him non the less, hopefully he can keep the momentum going tomorrow.

Well, it really doesn't make sense. They're both at 4-1, but Select with 8-2 and DRG with 8-3. So it couldn't be a tie. I think it's pretty silly the fact that individual matches doesn't make a difference. But it's the system...

How the hell doesn't it make sense? DRG beat Select. It's as simple as that. Why can't people grasp the concept of head to head victories?


It would make perfect sense if both players records' were exactly the same. If Select lost one individual match less than DRG, he should be ahead. But I already know that it's the way MLG works. I think it is wrong, but it's the way it is.

Was thinking and mentioned that earlier. For example in football it goes on goals scored and goals against first before head to head records in England. Which is kinda the same as games won/lost in SC2.
