Especially because this puts pressure on players to attend all of their events or they'll be at a disadvantage to someone who has been to all the mlg events. That's how it works. You get a slight edge at MLG events for having attended previous MLG events. It's called incentive. If every player had to start at OWR1 every MLG and pool play didn't exist, you'd see a lot of players chose other events more often. | ||

EDIT: I guess it must have been from the open qualifiers? I should pay more attention x.x | ||

I guess it could leak... Tournament results have been spoiled left and right thanks to TL endorsing "live viewing is the norm". I feel that the majority of the community has backed their opinion and encourages everyone to report up to the minute results from tournaments across the globe. | ||

At least then we would have more participation from korea and europe... MLG's idea of an regional open qualifier is to eliminate all entrys down to 8 new contestants and then seed and invite everyone who finished 9-88 at the previous event into another large "regional" tournament. Instead of footing your own bill to travel to a MLG Open Championship bracket MLG asks that you clinch top 8 in TWO tournaments, and top 16 in the offline Arena to win a free ticket. Probably going to be quite difficult!!! | ||

Adding yet more arenas (they even have to number them now) and qualifiers to invite qualifiers to arenas to actual championships -- why? Just to have more content? This could have been achieved with a simpler system which -- as has been said before in this thread -- actually achieves what it was meant to fix: To not see the same exclusive group of players over and over again. At times it feels like the current MLG format only exists to entertain JP and the NYC studio gang...  + Show Spoiler + And having your squeezed-in extra content purposefully clash with other major events and then trying to cement your status by talking other major tournaments into becoming your qualifier (to another qualifier, no less), doesn't earn you extra brownie points either. With the current system the top 4 qualify for the next event to preserve a ficitional rivalry that is MKP v DRG. | ||

It really depends on the scheduled broadcast date (and also the importance of the event). If NASL matches get played 6-8 hours before broadcast, I don't want to know the results before the show. If MLG Spring Arena qualifiers take two weeks to broadcast, I'd rather know in advance who made it and who didn't, because I probably won't care to watch the games anyway. | ||
