Polt, aLive, symbol (this could go to a couple people depending on how Rain and killer play. would be surprised to see drewbie advance seeing as symbol is pretty good against terrans), either JYP or Jinro probably, Heart, Golden (Puma's TvZ strikes again!), Crazymoving, and winner of Bling and Thorzain | ||

Most favourites will make it out of the open bracket though so ...... :D | ||

If they wanted a seed they should have qualified (Polt) or tried to qualify (Stephano) for Winter Arena. Your suggestion that every person who enters the Open Bracket being given a seed is beyond retarded. If it wasn't Stephano vs Polt, it would have been Polt vs Symbol or Polt vs aLive or another such unfortunate match. When so many good players enter the open bracket, this is the kind of thing that happens and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Deal with it. | ||

At least Stephano isn't entirely out of the tournament so we will probably get to see more of him this weekend. | ||

MLG isn't the only tournament in the world, other tournaments use seedings from elsewhere , why couldn't they? This IS dumb, there is no way around it. | ||

Oh and they certainly arent the two best players in the tournament. DRG and MKP have that title | ||

People aren't saying that Polt and Stephano are top 2 in the entire tourny. But 2 of the strongest in the open bracket meeting so early is pretty crappy =(. | ||

There're plenty of other top level players in the tournaments, and there other players with bad draws. That's just how it works out, and others just deal with it. If steph won over Polt none of you guys would be in here protesting how "unfair" this is. | ||

Deal with it. i understand your point of view, but polt vs stephano needs to be a semifinal match (they can't be in the same bracket) but of course this is impossible since they did not go to winter arena | ||

I still find it dumb to only seed open bracket on account of MLG points, completely disregarding every other event in the world, ever. Like... code S/A players in the Open bracket could get some seeds to make sure they don't meet early on, seeing the previous MLG/GSL partnership. It maybe wouldn't have mattered this time, and avoided neither polt/stephano, not Sleep/Symbol in r2 (WTF), but it could help eventually. Or maybe the winners of previous tournaments, though that would be more difficult. I'm just pissed by the "only our results matter and the rest of the world we don't give a shit about"-style of MLG. | ||

And they are two of the best three players in the open bracket (third one is aLive). And if two of the best three players in the open bracket collide in round 4, whereas guys like Glon, Nony, RuFF or wbc have an easy bracket to get in round 5, the seeding is bad. | ||
