MOD NOTE: The bracket on Liquipedia is not final and should be assumed to be speculative. If you are a competitor, trust what MLG Admins tell you over the bracket. |

afaik TaeJa is getting a seed in the challenger league one due to being a Code S region switcher, and so should HyuN by that logic

This should be a interesting watch. I have no clue how good (or bad) Desrow actually is, so im very curious.
|
Nice he actually won a match ;o.

Not necessarily, for example the chinese pros who were screwed over by MLG for the Code S qualifier will be invited for the Code A qualifier, so it's not as if you need to participate in this qualifier to participate in the next qualifier.

If this is an impromptu broadcast then I hope that there are teams smart enough to coordinate maximum airing time for their players with the MLG casters, because this will hopefully lead to less downtime.

Oh, I've run into NoCreativity on the ladder before.
He ripped me a new one, but then again Desrow is a million times better than me. Go NoCreativity.

It's a NA Qualifier with hundreds of people playing. Yes, if you thought every match would be high-level you were being very silly.

There are Chinese pros who were left out apparently because the brackets were full of these random nobodies wasting everybody's time because they want to have a day of adventure trying their luck against pros.
Wait how are amateur master players to blame for trying their luck now? MLG only holds one qualfier capped at 512 players, that's the problem.

It has been alleged that there are quite a few accounts signed up who aren't even Master players. But yes, this is very much MLG's fault.

To be fair I was silly to even think that NA "progamers" would be capable of highlevel play.
JOKES ON ME I GUESS

Stargate before warpgate? Interesting.

If they left that $20 entry fee this probably wouldn't be an issue, just saying!

Yes, it was silly of you to expect top gameplay from all the players of a open signup qualifier tournament, good to hear that you finally understood that, and again if you don't want to watch bad gameplay then start watching the later rounds. Bitching and moaning about it won't magically make it better.

It's the first round of a 512 man qualifier that anyone could sign up for and you are bitching and moaning that it isn't flash vs jaedong. Seriously, tone it down and pull the stick from your ass.
No player needs your hate and this thread doesn't need your whining.

Take a couple of breaths, man. There's not 512 pros in NA, even with the few Koreans thrown in. There's going to be some crap matches until probably R5 or so.
