I dont feel any hype for this event because i have no idea what they are actually playing for. i couldnt agree more. its just a smaller, less exciting winter arena and i dont even know why this happens. last time i payed, but i didnt feel the need to pay this time. | ||

I dont feel any hype for this event because i have no idea what they are actually playing for. It suits perfectly to my taste. I'm not a fan of dread through the bracket, and not much use for storyline / upsets. I just want see the best of the best trying to beat each other. I could care less about result and the seeding thing doesn't make much sense to me anyway. But 50+ matches / 100+ games of the very top performance is great. | ||

Could be realistic for this to be PPV in a year or 2 with this 8 man format, defiantly not NOW. Thanks but no thanks. I'll be skipping this .... "event". | ||

And before you pull the foreigners card, maybe you should watch baseball if all you want to see is your home team winning, I watch SC2 because I love watching high level games. | ||

Would you rather watch scrubs getting dominated by koreans? 1,000,000 person tournament is not automatically better than 8 person tournament. And before you pull the foreigners card, maybe you should watch baseball if all you want to see is your home team winning, I watch SC2 because I love watching high level games. It's basically a series of showmatches played out to determine seeding. It struggles to define itself as a real tournament because let's be honest, what is really at stake besides money? | ||

It feels like an MLG event shouldn't be this boring, underhyped, badly timed, strangely formatted... still, I hope it turns out well for everyone who is watching and for the organizers. | ||

Actually the top 4 are guaranteed to be in Anaheim pools along with fully paid trips to Anaheim and Arena 2. There is a lot at stake beyond prize money. The bottom 4 has to play in the online Invitational to get back into Arena 2. | ||
