The thing that really annoys me is that MLG''s tournament system is horrible, and they aren't willing to change anything until next year.

Some of the biggest problems are

-Players like Incontrol constantly being seeded into the pools despite loosing all the time (no disrespect to InControl, i know hes a great guy). Basically if you place well in one of the first two MLG's, you can ride that seeding through until the end of the year.
-Extended series ruining exitement
-Still only bo3 in the semi finals? Are you kidding me!?!?!? The semi's should be bo5 and no extended series
-A system where the grand final can be over in 2 games. What a joke...
-Grand final should be bo7 no extended series.
-Pathetic prize money

The grand final consisted of 2 games. Both games were decided within the first 5 minutes (4 gate micro win and a failed cannon rush). This is a combination of bad maps, bad balance by blizzard and a bad tournament system by MLG.

I can't stress enough how disappointing the final was for this tournament. Idra vs Bomber was true grand final in my eyes...

Serious question now:

GSL has stated that they'll send all former MLG providence. Does that mean that in the seeding for the top-16, MMA and Bomber aren't going to count for the top-16 invites?

Aka are incontrol and sheth still seeded for providence?

How is Incontrol still seeded into pools after going 0-5 the last 3 MLGs? O_o

will IdrA take his code A seed? I've been hearing that he's heading back to Korea, but missed "when" that would be...

Jeez, slit your wrists in private man--don't down it for everyone else. Yeah, there are structural problems, but SC2 has only been going for less than a year in their system, and it's really only this past year that money has really started to get injected into the scene--they already said they'd have more funds for next year. Put a smile on, yay Huk!

Also, you have to realize (whiner), that this is their first time with a non-console game, and they tried to carry over their successful format from the FPS genre, meaning that ofc it won't be the best at first, but they didn't want to change it mid-season! Now that the season is coming to a close, hopefully we'll see a much improved tournament system. Give props to MLG for how amazing their tournaments have been rather than whine about everything you can see!
