I agree with this, could be 31 bads and one pro who will just face roll the others.

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.

USB headsets need to have the sound device in windows changed to point to that device, and changed back when the device is removed. 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.

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.

I don't see having an invitational aspect being the best way to do this, especially since these are qualifier events to begin with.

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

MLG hasn't featured games that have a significant competitive presence outside the organization before, SC2 is a whole new scenario.

Press CTRL+ M or CTRL + S for the music/sound, they won't catch you.

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.

HP 20" 2ms LCDs. 1680x1040 max res.

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.

To everyone posting, please stay tuned, we're very aware (and have been for some time) that this was going to be an issue. There's a reason to our process which I'll be happy to talk about later, but for now, assume that we're working on it.

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.
