The arguing about whether or not incontrol finishes top 16 is futile, as there is always at least one(sometimes several) top 16 contenders who cannot attend an MLG, freeing up a spot.

InControl gets another spot, so you can either hope he improves, or you can hope he's sorry enough for his performance to not attend(Which won't happen, since EG pays anyway and even if he wasn't seeded, he'd attend the open).

Top foreigners are almost always IdrA and HuK

(Yes, one recent exception was IPL with Stephano.)

Naniwa always finish top foreigners in the past MLG, he just bootcamping in Korea for so long that you guys forgot him. I am sure he will come back and compete with Huk for the best foreigners title.
I think Huk is holding it right now.


i kinda think Huk dew to his overstaying in korea is a korean/foreigner hybrid anyway!

They're the same round. MKP/MC will be streamed on the Beta stream. Which is sad for us who don't have MLG membership passes



No they're a round behind

Puma versus Idra for Incontrol's fate would be hilarious, and I hope they would stream it. And idra would more than likely show up. EG would make him...


Incontrol should just concede the spot. Idra probably won't care enough to play if he loses to HongUn. HongUn would just give Puma the win because the points would mean nothing to him.

hmmm, what will happen if it is puma vs idra...? XD

If it's puma vs idra the story of evil geniuses screwing eachother over will continue, seriously I swear mlg hates EG they always seem to end up playing eachother in the pools and now there's a chance that whoever wins in a 7th place match between idra and puma an EG member loses.


How is that MLG's fault in any way.. They do everything by seeding based on previous performances... You really can't be serious there right?


I don't think he's actually blaming MLG lol

Isn't IncontroL at a 0% winrate at the last 3 MLGs? The system is fucked up if you can go 0-30 and still qualify.

I'm going to laugh so hard if Puma throwing the game away gives Incontrol the last seed at Providence.


is that real?!

GO INCONTROL
Puma show some love haha


Hello to the only person in the world cheering for Incontrol's play, lol.

There's people out there who hate Puma but hate Incontrol clogging up MLG's top 16 even more.


Why does everyone "hate" Incontrol, for being 1-10, but I haven't seen one negative thing towards Nony, who is.....oh wait 1-10 as well.... weird.

Do you remember, that Tyler actually dropped out of pool play and had to go through the open bracket to get his spot back? No? Well, then there's your reason.

Yea exactly, nony earned his spot back ,he was in pool play for 2 or more mlg's incontrol on the other hand has just always been winning his 1 game to stay in pool play, but loses every other game. Also it just frusterates me the way incontrol plays what day 9 said yesterday is absoulutely correct. The way incontrol plays on his stream and the way he practices is completely different then the way he plays on stage at MLG. Hes always trying to end the game in the quickest possible way, trying to get off that stage as fast as possible. If your not playing the style you practice when your at tournaments, how can you expect to do well. I dont see how incontrol doesnt see that, hes a smart guy.

The reason is......people are stupid. The past 80 pages are all snide personal attacks at Boxer/Idra/Puma/etc. Same goes for Incontrol.

Actually the hate on Incontrol comes from him going 0-5 the last 2-3 MLG's in a row and still being in pool play, other deserving players have to fight their asses off through the open bracket...

I personally like Incontrol, he is Manner and a great personality for E-Sports, but I think its time for him to take more a coaching role perhaps? Training like mad with Idra and Puma etc. clearly hasn't paid off for him, I admire his work habit of training 10 hours a day but lets be real here I don't see him winning any tournament any time in the near future...

the sad and funny thing about incontrol is that he will list one of his accomplishments as "making it to the natonals at MLG"

On Incontrol and Puma:

Incontrol will almost certainly be seeded for Providence because it almost a certainty that several players with higher seeds will not attend. Several seeded players have always failed to attend MLG, and even though Providence will be a more important tournament, it's almost inevitable some Koreans will either have a conflict or they will not have the sponsorship to attend.

50,000 for first place...they are going to show up...

EG Matchpoint.

Remember Providence first place is $50,000, Orlando only $5000


Is that serious? Crazy situation. I know a lot of players don't show up to those matches so if IdrA doesn't know and it happens, ouch.

I mean it's bad either way but this would be especially awful.

I just realized something crazy. TheSTC is guaranteed to finish at least top 3, so he will get a Code S seed for the next GSL unless MC takes second. For MC to take second, here's what needs to happen:

1. TheSTC loses to Huk in Winners' Finals
2. MC beats MarineKing
3. MC beats winner of Bomber and Hongun/Idra.
4. MC beats TheSTC.

It actually seems pretty likely that TheSTC will finally make it out of Code B!


Or Idra


Or Hongun.


I forgot about Hongun being in the Up & Downs and Idra going back to Korea. -_-

What happens if Hongun earns the Code S spot here? Do they just play his Up & Down group with him missing?


oh that's interesting o.o dont thinkt here are details like that, i think he will just be missing then, OR they will have him playup/down, if he stasys in code s then they give the spot to someone else?


There have been somewhat similer circumstances where they just have a round robin between the 9th-16th place finishers in code A to determine which of them earns the last up/down match spot.

Boxer got fucked over by the stupid extended series. Pisses me off.

...how is extended series stupid? -.-

For pool play, it's pretty stupid.


If anything, Boxer was helped by the fact that it was double elimination and that he didn't auto-lose from getting 2-0ed by IdrA lol

Why do people QQ about this format every tournament -.-' Get over it, people.

Final score between IdrA and Boxer is 4-3 Idra. That means Boxer loses.


Because Idra is already rewarded with higher seeding, is automatically moved further into the tourney, gets an unfair 2-0 advantage in a second series that should be considered completely separate because it's championship losers bracket not the seeding pool. How hard is that to understand?


if you beat someone once, you shouldn't have to play them again. However, sometimes this happens. For these situations, the onus is on the losing player to show that he is superior, and the way to do that is come back when you're down in a bo7.

Beating someone in a fair contest shows you're superior in that contest. Going 3-2 also shows you are superior, but in this case, you still lose.


But he didn't go 3-2, he went 3-4
If you can chill.. Chill!
