139 seems low for all the regions combined. O_O It also doesn't seem to fit into a normal bracket. Some people will start ahead. 256 would have made more sense, and just let the rest of the spots be sign up.

All the Koreans come to NA qualifier for easy wins
All the NA players go to Korea to avoid the Koreans.

His name was John Nelson.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

The big prize for this event is to get seeding into the big event which is still open like every other MLG event and the people who dont win will have to battle thru the open bracket.

Oh, so the arena decides the seeding for the actual big live event? I guess that makes sense. Thanks.

This sounds atrocious, assuming its 139 combined across all regions. No open qualifier...and people like JP picked them? JP doesn't even know who half of the european players are. Literally. There are 139 koreans that are better than most of the people that will probably be invited from NA.

This sounds absolutely horrible. Their solution to having players being kept seeded too long was to make it so up and coming players can't qualify to get seeding for the regular events?

Isn't this the exact same problem as last year in different form? If a new player breaks onto the seen he's still going to be seeded lower than players invited to the qualifiers.

Stop speculating and assuming shit and wait and see how it turns out.


I'm not speculating and assuming. I'm replying to exactly what I just heard them say.

john nelson doesn't exist, he is just a scapegoat they made up to hide the conspiracy.

Hear the truth, block out the lies.
