Not really hearing any details about what is happening. Sounding a lot like an announcement of a future announcement.

Sweet people have to earn the pool spots next season!!!

This seems to be the "cool thing to do" lately so I am not entirely surprised.

Thank goodness they're fixing the pool play. No more having 3 or 4 0-6 people every MLG!

super boring announcement.
It would have been better if they gave the actual amount of prize pool for 2012.

Yea, this is pretty anticlimactic but still sounds cool

It sounds like a WCG type system, except instead of countries, they're doing qualifiers for each Bnet region, with live events held for the finals of each season.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

I admit to being a rather stupid man, but wtf was the annoucement the guy in the yellow just made? Felt like he talked for 10 min and sad nothing.

Give em a break; they've been casting for 7 hours at this point. Gotta save something for Saturday and Sunday.

That's understandable and all but don't keep me waiting for a "state of the game" that's 15 minutes long and doesn't talk about the state of the game. It was a cool recap of the days games and all but it wasn't a SotG so they shouldn't call it one. At the very least they could have started 10 minutes earlier when they were all sitting on stage looking at day9's cell phone while terrible music played. Not blaming the "pillars" for this btw, just sayin it's lame that MLG would call that "state of the game"

State of the Game when they are talking about revamping MLG to include more competitions and a plan to expand globally seems like a good state of the game outside of the game.

Yeah I realize that they are tired and it's late, but it's a shitty move to say that they are doing SOTG so they can do MLG announcements. All they have done the past 2 is talk about MLG, it's annoying

I think each Blizzcon regional winner will be invited (all expenses paid) for a mini tournament @ the next MLG?

It sounds like you had some unrealistic expectations and should be assessing that before you go on a rant about MLG.

lol MLG tournaments so complex and hard to understand.
is he just announcing something like the NASL + live MLG next year?

I just hope it is convenient for all players to make it feel legitimate. With cross server lag and awkward times for non Americans, NASL was kind of delegitimatized.

yeah but i feel it wont be too hard to make it better than NASL.
well not necessarily better but more attractive i guess.
for the koreans at least they had to wake up at shitty hours for 9 weeks and for hundreds of players only 16 people get to the finals (basically the reward for playing 9 weeks besides the exposure). as long as there is incentive every week to keep playing, i feel like koreans would be more than willing to play online as they'll likely be in front of a computer anyways.

The prize pool for NASL finals was huge but I feel like a tournament doesnt need to have a huge prize pool to be prestigous. in an ideal world the players would be taken care of at least decently so that winning a tournament would be big in terms of reputation instead of actually for the huge prize pool (players ideally shouldnt need the winnings to sustain them).

hopefully MLG takes that into account when planning their stuff.
