The Dallas Group Play has been released: http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/starcraft-ii-group-play-at-the-fall-championship-2/
For more information regarding the MvP Invitational: MLG vs Proleague is about pitting the best players from each organization against each other. Players from each side play each other exclusively each week, with no intra-region play happening until the playoffs. By the playoffs, all 24 KeSPA pro’s will have played all 24 global players. The Playoffs: In the playoffs, the format changes to narrow down each regions players until one player remains from KeSPA and one player remains from MLG. These two star players then compete in the finals for a winner-takes-all $10,000 grand prize. Along the way, the MvP Invitational will also determine 8 spots in MLG Dallas Fall Championship Group Play, 4 from KeSPA Proleague, 2 from NA, 1 from EU and 1 from Korea/Taiwan.

Is it the same format as summer? With the weird WB/LB in well i guess you can call it groups?
Hope not, groups look good but summer championship was stupid as hell with that ridiculous format. Otherwise i guess this will be my weekend in November without SC2.

Can you explain if there was some sort of algorithm to how the groups were made? No shade to Groups A and B, but I think C is stacked with skill and D isn't too far behind. Those are championship finals level players while A and B seem like considerably weaker groups.
Group C:
TaeJa: Summer Arena champion
viOlet: Spring Arena champion
Life: recent Code S champion

The format can be found here: http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/competitions/48#event_121_event-format
I'm unsure what you are referring to with the "weird WB/LB"; however, it is a double elimination bracket, so once you lose in the Winners Bracket, you do fall to the Losers Bracket.

Groups are based on seeds. Group Play Players will be separated into one of four Groups as follows: Group A will consist of Seeds #1, #8, #9, #16, #17, #24, #25, and #32. Group B will consist of Seeds #2, #7, 10, #15, #18, #23, #26, and #31. Group C will consist of Seeds #3, #6, #11, #14, #19, #22, #27, and #30. Group D will consist of Seeds #4, #5, #12, #13, #20, #21, #28, and #29.

Yeah so it's the same as Summer. No pool play but double elimination brackets and a lot of extended series. So with some bad luck you only play 3 matches while you got a seed in group play.
Summer was so frustrating to watch because of that and i wont expose my self so that again. Thanks for the reply tho.

I liked the group play more when everyone played everyone else.

Me too. This and the fact that they still haven't removed extended series makes me a sad panda.

Is there any info available on how "MLG Rank" is computed (since that's the #1 criterion for seeding this time)?

Players earned a specific number of points for their placement in 2011 MLG Providence, the 2012 Winter, Spring, and Summer Championships, as well as the three 2012 32-Player Arenas. A Player’s points are added up and MLG Rank is determined by each Player’s total.
