I expect them to start around 06:15 in the morning, it's late enough that players should be awake and early enough that you reach the EU audience. Seems perfectly reasonable to me. | ||

Championship bracket has 11 koreans max and the open bracket has 19. Its so weird! the winners of the region locked/invite only qualifiers are just seeded so highly, if you're top 6 in pool play you're already top 16 of the tournament and earn WCS points. I mean out of Illusion Puck and Petraeus, the best of them is guaranteed top 16. The same for Miniraser, Huk and Hendralisk. there will be so many walkovers in the championship bracket. It has been a long time since the last MLG and the format seems so incredibly unfair when you're used to the wcs system. The top 16 players who get WCS points are not the best 16 players of the tournament. | ||

The top 16 players who get WCS points are not the best 16 players of the tournament. In the old days, with Arenas and qualifiers and stuff, I didn't view that as much of a problem. The only problem IMHO were the distribution out of the qualification spots, no other independent tournament focuses on one region as hard as MLG did on NA. | ||
