Whining about Protoss or balance will be more harshly moderated from page 90 onwards.

Before making comments on race picking, refer to MLG's rules

Switch to an Invite only tournament featuring 16 players and do 4 round robin pools to seed a double elimination bracket. MLG gets the views they want without a massive set up and we get amazing games all weekend!

and remember the backlash last time MLG tried to do an invite only tourney?


No I dont? When was the last time they did that?

Start of hots. People raged about no open bracket

Really? Why were people mad at that? Was it really that many people?


A lot of people were upset about it, yes.

I mean, its not like we SAW any open bracket this MLG anyways, they might as well NOT have happened. So why did people get mad about not having open bracket? What is their reason?


That an invitational denies other players (American and otherwise) the chance to make a name for themselves.

It means they can invite the "Americans and otherwise." Basically invite the people that will get the most views at MLG. They can still have qualifiers to fill spots if they want. MLG is just catching a lot of crap so I think they should just simplify it. If they didn't screw up production so much with weird schedules and being unprepared, we wouldn't have so much to laugh at them for.

Just keep it simple.


It doesn't matter who you invite, it still takes away the possibility for uninvited players to actually play in the tournament and make it far. One can debate if MLG should have an open bracket at every tournament, but it's a valid criticism and several MLGs have been won by Open Bracket players in the past. You shouldn't adopt an arguably worse format to make sure you'll be able to slack off with production.

As far as I'm concerned I enjoyed both MLG Winter 2013 and what I saw of MLG Spring 2013, so it'd be cool if we just had both formats for different tournaments, instead of trying to meld them together. They're both cool formats, I'd love to see them both at different events.

Apparently the acquisition of CoD hasn't exactly been good for MLG.


You are aware that this is satire, right?

Really? I saw this posted in the b.net forums and figured it was actually serious. Just read the first paragraph and assumed it was real. Haha

Edit: Probably should read stuff other than the title before I link something

You shouldn't adopt an arguably worse format to make sure you'll be able to slack off with production.

The problem is they can't handle the open bracket, or just plain don't want to. So instead of screwing everything up to do something you don't care about, just make it simple. Either do an invitational, or do a pre-seeded bracket filled in with an open bracket. There are many tournaments that don't have open brackets, MLG doesn't have to either.

I feel DongRaeGu could've defended this using spines and queens if he stayed patient. I'm no cannon rush expert though.
