Invite-only qualifier... Not a fan of that one bit. 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.

No White-Ra??

edit: I know the rules of the invites list, I am just expressing my displeasure for no Ra.

I'm confused by which means he qualfied for the invite but whoooo go MajOr! He's teamless and has been grinding away in korea, he deserves to be flown out to a tournament! Looking at the NA player pool he should have a pretty good chance. ^^

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

I don't ever remember MLG saying the winner of dreamhack stockholm had a seed in the second arena but its a great way to shoe in Thorzain. I don't think Polt would have gotten it if he won dreamhack.

April 19th actually: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=330361



I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

MLG wants the top 4 of their current event in their following event so they can create a fictional rivalry that is

If MKP makes it to the GSL finals, he won't be at Spring Arena 2.


Also, will the results be posted after the tournament, or not until the broadcast? 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.

I really like that the players who finished 9th-80th at Cbus get a chance in this, it helps to bring out more competition and show case up and coming players! Good luck to everyone battling it out for their chance at arena 2! :D

I thought a lot of the reason for the format change in 2012 was to move away from the system that rewarded people who attended MLG events consistently. I don't feel this system allows for enough rotation of players, especially those from Korea / Europe who can't afford to risk everything in the open bracket. The open qualifier only being a qualifier for the invite only is really rough considering people who attended an MLG pretty much get to the invite only for free.


Honestly, I wish that they at least used the formula that they did for the first winter arena. 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!!!

I feel MLG made the system way more complicated than it had to be. 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.

He's in Korea, and doesn't want to play in the Korean qualifiers -> has to play NA.
