The rules actually also state that you can't mess with audio or video settings. We may revise this, but for now that ruling stands.


The game looks significantly different depending on how the graphics level set on a player's machine. In addition, some players do not play with SC2 music on normally, and would need to get used to that in the background.

Will the exact graphics and audio settings be released if we are sadly not allowed to change them?

Lastly, as the specifications on what is allowed in terms of hardware is quite specific, I thought I'd ask this. I use a 3.5mm audio splitter (specifically, this one) to allow myself to both listen to a mp3 player and the game's sound effects at the same time. I had figured that this would be fine for SC2 tournaments as I do not install anything, it is small, and it uses the same headphone connector.... would this be allowed, or does it specifically have to be the headphones directly connected to the 3.5mm jack? Might not make a difference depending on how high the music in the game is set from above, but thought I'd ask.

Meh someone pm me if there is a thread of people to list if they actually got in. Really interested to see this 'line-up'...

I may appear to be an emotionless sarcastic pos, but just like an onion when you pull off more and more layers you find the exact same thing everytime and you start crying

You realize that you can't transfer a pass without the commissioner's permission, right? And he wont transfer it if you've "scalped" your ticket.

I'm one of the unknowns that got in. I'm sorry some of yall didn't get in, but I'll do my best to give you guys a good show.

I would totally support a closed invite/buy in for established players. I hope they keep doing open tournaments though; this kind of thing is an opportunity for guys like me who are outside of the current pro-gaming community to try to get a foot in the door.

Things that I would take issue with:

"Players may not use USB headsets." - No reason why this should be true if the MLG game machines are sufficient to run the SC2 software. So many players use USB headsets. This seems unnecessary...


"Players may not change the Computer/Monitor sound and video settings."
-What if somebody had some sort of disability...maybe they needed a brighter monitor setting, or maybe they were colorblind as to a certain shade and needed different "warmth" settings on the monitor (you'll know what I'm talking about if you check your monitor settings)...this seems discriminatory if exceptions could not be made for this kind of thing. Let's face it, gamers are not known to have the best vision.....

Also, I would never fucking play with the SC2 music on full 100%, or "ambient sounds" enabled. I don't want to hear terrible zerg music or cars cruising by honking their horns on Metalopolis. Hell, I'm ADHD and the music and ambient sounds are SERIOUSLY distracting from my gameplay. I'm sure I'm not the only one, either. I would be pressing CTRL+M in match, and if MLG were to disqualify me for that, I see them having some issue, perhaps being the next KeSPA "ppp" incident.


"Players and Coaches may be asked to wear MLG apparel for all Matches."
Only if we get to keep the apparel. Otherwise, absolutely not. Nobody has the right to tell me what to wear, this isn't fucking boarding school. I can understand asking people not to wear non-approved sponsor clothing, but asking somebody to wear MLG insignia without actually sponsoring that player through MLG themselves is unacceptable. Also, I will never wear some sweaty ass, grungy, nasty gamer gear that has been worn hundreds of sweaty pale nerds before me. I SWEAT. I wouldn't want anybody else to wear my gear either, I don't care if it's been washed...hygiene people.. So, not a problem if it's free gear. Is a problem if it isn't.


^ That is my serious reaction to being asked to wear MLG apparel if it is not GIVEN away free/re-used gamer gear

Also...no Scrap Station? Why not???

Besides these things, the rules seem pretty solid, however the issues I cited above seem like pretty major ones to me (except the USB headsets, which seems unnecessary but minor...the other two things seem like major issues to me though.)

Also, this:

You're kidding, you have to play with default graphics, hit point bars, music on, etc? That's just... stupid.

im confused, what does it mean if its open registration 32 players? like first 32 random people to sign up? how is that a 'pro' tournament? am I missing something here? As a spectator, that does not sound all that exciting to watch a tournament of some random 32 people who happened to sign up first?

I'm sorry if it's been addressed but rule #2 under "gameplay".

.. how many refs are there going to be?

If your mouse or keyboard suddenly stops working, you can't pause the game? You have to yell "i need a ref over here" and wait for them to come over while your opponent destroys you?


(oh, i see that you just get a warning. much better then, i suppose all is well )

You're exactly right. It's pretty dumb considering how much money is on the line. There's a possibility that some bronze/silver player could walk away with 8th place and like $200 dollars. You have to have some invite slots in the future.
