Obviously the format is flawed. As JP said in the other thread, though, we kind of need something like this to happen in order to show MLG management that this isn't going to work. | ||

In addition, some players do not play with SC2 music on normally, and would need to get used to that in the background. . Press CTRL+ M or CTRL + S for the music/sound, they won't catch you. | ||

You'd be surprised how little people actually know that, and wouldn't you be pissed if you fired your game up only to realise that there's no sound and have nobody around to tell you why? EDIT: to elaborate, when you change the device all software running needs to be restarted or pointed to that device, and when you remove the device the software (SC2) that's still running willr emain pointed to that device. Found that out a few weeks ago, couldn't figure out why the fuck the headset I borrowed from a friend wasn't working. You have to change it back to speakers again afterwards, another thing I was unaware of. | ||

BTW MLG, seriously this is going to be a fail tournament if you don't get the big names in this. Lz, HuK, Nony, etc. all the best NA players. This could be a big thing for esports in the U.S., and not having those guys... many of which are actual sponsored progamers not in it... seems stupid. No one wants to see a random smattering of players, many of which could be in gold league even. | ||

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. Hopefully they're just have a much larger number of slots. I would really hate to see a large number of slots to qualifying events be invite only. | ||

What would happen if this happened for the Halo 3 aspect and you ended up with 32 twelve-year-old boys while Instinct/Triggers Down/etc were all unable to get in? :S I agree though you need some kind of open aspect to it, but maybe they could even consider a half invite/half open thing to still make sure the talent is there. | ||

Perhaps an online qualifier portion, from which the top 32 are selected is the way to go? | ||

At least it ensures that the players involved have talent and can at least provide an interesting event from the point of a spectator, rather then picking 32 people who were chosen purely on the fact they can purchase passes the fastest. | ||

But I don't feel that bad. I see this as an opportunity to get my foot in with the pro's, and I'll do my best to give you all a good series of games to watch. It shouldn't be too bad, I'm not some gold player or anything. A qualifier sounds like a great way to do it. There has to be a system in place to allow new players a chance to prove their stuff, after all. I love watching our current crop of pros play, but there always has to be new blood coming in. | ||

SC2 might have the biggest they have done but your statement is flat out false. WoW, SSBB, tekken all are competitive outside of MLG. If anything the SC community has a big ego about how things are done in korea and if anyone changes anything they will somehow ruin it. Fact is you can't just copy and paste what happen in korea and expect it to work everywhere. Every organization is going to have their own restrictions and time to worry about. | ||

To be fair, I think the Courage model of qualification for MSL/OSL prelims is a pretty good place to start as far as designing a qualification scheme. | ||

Video settings will not be changeable by the player, but we're evaluating a default setting for all comps which will ensure that things like foliage etc aren't interfering with gameplay. Which monitor model specifically? | ||

You know what would be a really cool qualification scheme. The 32 people who pay the highest entry fee. The prize pool could reach exorbitant amounts and entire organizations would be backing players to make a huge pay day. Maybe a few rich people would show up for kicks. Awesome? | ||
